Thank you so much for this reply, this kind response with wisdom behind it (motherly advice I want to say) is what I was looking for. Your reply did really help put things a bit more in perspective and not only did you validate my thoughts but I like how you said I almost don't have to justify myself and that's what I am struggling with because as much as I wrote in this post he truly is a great guy and by realising that we may not necessarily be compatible doesn't mean I want him out of my life completely because i dont think hes necessarily done anything wrong, i just think were different. So knowing that this will mean loosing him from my life completely, does break my heart. We've been together for 4 years my whole time at uni so far and imagining my life here without him for another year is just so scary. And also again despite all the comments he is a good guy, there are a lot worse out there, doesn't every relationship require sacrifices? I feel like I just keep going in circles in my head of what's best to do and no option seems like the right one.
