I know this is futile but this is just probably my way of making sense out of things. Ever since we started dating, my boyfriend and I knew that there was a possibility that I was going to move for school, and he has stated that he never wanted to do long distance if ever. I never thought I'd get so involved and we'd be so in love eight months later, and now I got accepted at a great school in a different coast and the opportunity to go is just too good to pass up. I thought that our love for each other would make him change his mind about LDR, but it turns out he was expecting us to be close friends who still love and care for each other in a non romantic way if I move. I said I can't be friends and I have to go no contact, but he says he'll have a hard time accepting me being totally out of his life. I wish he would just even try to go LDR but I know we'd both be just miserable since I'd only see him during holidays and birthdays. I'll fee bad being just a friend coz it might hurt if I see our photos on social media and our common friends and there is risk I'd facebook-stalk him and getting over would be harder. 

Now, we have three more months of being together and we decided to just enjoy it as a couple despite the inevitable, impending separation and as much as I would like to enjoy my last months with him, I feel we're just counting down the days to the end and at the back of my mind, there'll always be this thought that we will eventually be over. I know the mature way is to stick to this set up, eventually part ways, go no contact for a few months, but eventually still be good friends when I am totally over. However, I do not know how to enjoy our last quarter year together without the impending doom thoughts. He was my first love, and I am his first love as well, and right now I guess I just need some enlightenment on how to handle this.
