My SO and I recently closed the distance after a better opportunity for getting into pharmacy school opened up for me near my hometown. We had been LDR due to my going to college last year. I am now back home and planning to attend the pharmacy school in the area. Recently, my SO had found a career program that he is really interested in, and we both agree that it is a great career for him. Problem is that the school is about 120 miles away, and now his parents and him decided its best for him to live at the town where is school is. My SO and I will both be busy with college with at least 15 hours of classes for the both of us next semester.
I completely understand the reasoning behind his decision, and I support my SO 100% for him to get a career that he will love. I can't help but have all these emotions though. I feel heartbroken or upset more than anything. I think its due to the fact that I'm going to have to feel the same feelings of not being with him like when I was attending my previous college. My feelings for my SO have not wavered at all since he made his decision though. I'm excited that he gets this opportunity because his parents refused to support him previously when it came to his future education. At the same time I'm confused because I don't know if what we are going to go through will really be considered long distance or not? I feel like its silly for me to think that 100 miles away seems so far, when I know others on this site are thousands of miles away from their SOs.
My SO feels guilty about moving away because I had just moved back home. I don't want him to feel this way, but I feel like my downward mood keeps his guilt locked in place. I'm trying to sound happy when we talk about it, but it feels impossible at the moment to sound happy. Plus, I'm a terrible liar to boot.
I'm not sure what exactly I'm asking for in this thread, I guess I just wanted to vent. Sorry if it sounds whiny. I guess all I can ask is, would you consider the situation long distance?
