My boyfriend of 4 months just broke up with me a couple days ago. Things were going REALLY well and it was a total blindside. We made plans on spending the holidays together, going away in a couple of months, etc. He's talked about marriage and kids with me. However, he plans on moving to London for a year starting on May 2016 while I'm starting school in a different city on August 2016. We had a conversation about a month ago about what we wanted to do. At the time, he hasn't decided if he wanted to pursue his MBA in a city closer to where I'm heading or move to London for a year. I told him that I'm willing to try LDR because I'm not the type of person to just give up on a relationship because of distance. I really saw a future with him. He told me a couple of weeks after that that he's decided to pick London. I supported his decision. It was gonna be hard but I was willing to make it work. Then, the blindside happens. He brought it up on our last date and just decided to break things off right there and then..I was crushed to say the least. He said that it's not anything I did and there was no other girl. He said that he knew a long time ago that if he's gonna move to London, he wanted to do it as a single. I kept asking him that if he knew that from the beginning, why did he ask me to be with him in the first place. All he could say was sorry and that he wishes we could be friends. It bothers me that he didn't even talk to me about what we should do. He was being selfish and he knew it. He said that once were both back in our hometown and we happen to both be single, he wants to give our relationship another try. I asked him if he means that or he was just saying that to pacify me and he said he meant it.

 

I'm just really having a hard time wrapping my head around the whole thing. Why did he do it now? Why not 6 months from now? A lot can happen in that time..I just don't get it. It could be very different 6 months from now. Did he even really care about me?
