I'm sure there are similar stories like mine out there. After a lot of hard thinking, I recently broke it off with my SO of 3 years. I had gotten into my first choice school, but it was five hours away. Not the longest distance by any means. It wasn't her first choice to move, as it has taken her a while to finally be confortable with her friends and her job in the city, and I completely understood. She said she would move, but I had been thinking, if I can't commit myself fully to the relationship (especially for the 5+ years the program would take, plus whatever comes after it), and if I don't see us having a future together, then I shouldn't keep it going. So, last week, I broke it off. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but I know in the long term it was the right thing.
It's been quite the bittersweet application season.
