My girlfriend may be going to grad school for two years, this fall. This relationship has been my most adult, fulfilling and selfless so far, and it has been wonderful. So, as important as this choice might feel otherwise, with her in particular, it actually feels somehow like it would be a life-affecting decision.

I have been careful not to taint her decision making process, but I know she's thinking about her and I as well.

This issue hasn't really affected things until now, now that she is nearing decision-making time. If anyone can offer any advice or first-hand accounts of things that have happened to them, I would be very grateful. Like I said, this has been a remarkably selfless, "liberating" relationship, and while I don't want to taint it, I don't want to lose it either.
