I'd say don't stay there for him. This is your life, and you need to do what you can to achieve your dream. There's no guarantee that you'd still be with him if you stayed local. That's not to say that you should break up with him when you leave, though. Try a long distance relationship; you never know, it might work. Vancouver and Manitoba are really far, but you could at least try at first and see how it goes. I was in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend for a year in 2007, and now we're living together and very happy. Then again, it might not work out, but you should at least try. Don't stay just for him, because you'll always resent him for not being able to go to your dream school. And if not resent, then you'll definitely have that feeling of, "What if?"

Harsh bottom line: There's other men in Vancouver, but there's not other dream schools in Manitoba.

go to school. He can either deal or break it off, because school is way more important than any guy is.

go to skol...when i went to skol in fl my bf wasnt ery happy he lived in cali...but it all was good...he ended up (after a year or so) moving to florida for me and if your guys is lyk that then he would be willing to move for you to...but its your education i think you should take it the way you want....either win big or go home

If it's too much for him too move for you, how is it not too much for you to stay for him?

And for you, this is the oppertunity of a lifetime. Going to your dream school won't always be an option, so take it. If the relationship is meant to last, it will. However, if it doesn't, there are many amazing guys out there, waiting to sweep you off your feet who would move for you.

oh goodness i can't stress this enough-- GO. do this for YOU. honey can't you see what he wants? everything you wrote in the paragraph screams that he thinks it's all about him. HE wants you to stay HE doesn't want to move HE's asking you to throw your dream away for him. you should NEVER throw away your dream just to be in a relationship. Over 70% of high school relationships don't last, anyways. You both will go your separate ways, and find different people. Better people. From the sounds of it you both need to do some emotional growing, him by becoming less selfish, and you by taking the reigns on what YOU want and becoming more firm.
PLEASE GO!!!!!

Remember that any guy who is worth your time is worth waiting to spend time with... further more, if he really cares about you, he'll let you achieve your dreams and will be totally supportive. Long distance can be tough, but if this relationship is meant to make it, it will, no matter where you are.

He should be happy for you. If you two really love each other you will make it work while you attend school. Talk on the phone as much as possible and have him visit or you go visit on your breaks. Long distance relationships can work it just takes a lot.

I had a similar situation in my past, and I took the boyfriend route. He told me he would never be in a long-distance relationship, and that he would be devastated if I left him. I thought he was perfect, and couldn't bear to lose him, so I stayed.

Six years later, I'm married to another man, have a son, and less than half of my degree under my belt. While I love my husband and son, I regret the choice I made that cost me my education.

"If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it's meant to be." If he really loves you, he'll want what's best for you and put his selfish feelings aside.

P.S. - my ex, who said he would never do such a thing, is now in a long-distance relationship, and his girlfriend lives 800 miles away. They've been together for a few years now, and the distance is tough on them, but they're determined to make it work.
So glad he could do that for me............

go to school sweetie don't listen to him, this is your future.

If he's worth it, you can make a long distance relationship work.

Oh, honey, go to school. Logically, it's a no-brainer, but I know it can be emotionally confuing. I'm in a similar situation. My boyfriend of six months, and friend of six years is the one I'm leaving behind... but our relationship and my happiness are important enough to him that a) he's willing to try the long distance relationship thing and b) will move a year later, after he gets his associate's, if we are still together.
If he loves you, he will want you to be happy. Sure, part of him would want you to stay, but surely he knows this is your dream school. If he has nothing holding him where he is, ask him why he doesn't move with you. And if he is adamant about the whole thing, he's not committed to the relationship enough for you to give up the chance of a lifetime for him.

Go to school!! even if you love him very much, even if he truly loves you, you HAVE to go, things happen and years later you may not still be together and you will have given up something that is for you and you only. GO!!!

School is the best choice. If he doesn't want to put effort into the relationship, he's not worth the trouble. Don't put your dreams on hold just because a guy tells you he wants you too.

Chase your dream and go to school. If he is mean to be he will be.

Always remember If someone sincerely loves you he/she wants the best for you always with or without him/her.
And also one shouldn't cease to be the individual once in a relationship. It's your individuality and personality that gets you into a relationship in the very first place. If you cease to be what you are and what you want to be..you stop being honest self.

If he really loves you, he would be glad you got into your dream school and work twice as hard to keep the relationship good even over a long distance. Live life to no regrets. Go live your dream. What would you do if you couldn't live your dream or even have a chance at it cause you did what some boy wanted?

Plus, your education is helpful down the road. If you do stay with this guy, you'll have money to pitch in while doing something you love to do.

Go to school, you can see if along distance relationship works for you. Besides there's msn, e-mail, facebook and you can always visit on holidays.

Let me put it this way: my boyfriend was a year behind me in high school, and I decided (he didn't decide for me - he just didn't say I shouldn't) to take a year off to wait for him to catch up so we could go to school together and stuff. Then, at the beginning of his senior year, he broke up with me. So now I'm stuck in purgatory waiting until January when I can jump into school somewhere else and get away from all this. Don't stay for him. If he truly loves you, he will truly understand how much you need to go away. NEVER, EVER, E-V-E-R GIVE UP YOUR DREAMS FOR A BOY, no matter how worth it he seems. If he really is, he'll follow you.

i'm currently in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend of 8 months. I went away to school 4 hours away from home and he stayed at a local school. Not going to our school's of choices wasn't even an option in our eyes. If we really love eachother, this long distance thing will work out. Neither of us thought giving up what we wanted to do with our lives would effect how we felt about eachother. I'm currently finishing up my first semester away from him and yes, the long distance is hard, but we are surviving. We love eachother very much and i can really see our relationship lasting a long time if not forever. Go to your dream school. If the long distance doesn't work out and you two figure out a way to be closer than great for you. But never give up something you want. My boyfriend is already talking about transfering to my school next year because he hates his school. If it's meant to be, it will be.

go to the school! if he loves you, he'll wait.

I have had long distance relationships, and a couple where the stupid exes decided they don't like my ability to live independently. One even went so far as to jeopardise my tuition fees (long story) so I would get the boot from uni.

Statistically (and this was something I decided to look at before I decided to stay or go myself), fewer than 30%? of relationships that was started when both couples are under 21 survived through the 20s and leads to a family/marriage. Your degree will be yours to keep once you graduate. if he can't wait or can't have you staying apart, he's being selfish and quite worthless to be with.

harsh but this is your life!

Go. Don't change your life plans just so you can stay local for a guy. How can you change your goals to stay with him but he can't change his to go with you? That's not right.
So assuming you are going to leave and go to school, this what I would suggest you do.
Talk to him. Sit him down and tell him how you feel about going to this college. And then ask him whether he wants to go or stay. If he decides to go, all is solved. If he decides to stay, try a long distance relationship. If he is worth your time, he will probably end up moving with you anyway.

I would say go to the college of your choice. I go to a different college than my boyfriend and he totally understood why I was going to the college of my dreams. Your boyfriend will understand if he realizes how big your dreams are, and if he doesn't he's only thinking of himself, and that's not the dynamic you want in your relationship.

Go for YOUR dream. If he really does care, then yall will find a way to make it work. He can't be selfish and hold you back.

Never let a boy decide your life for you

Girl,
CHASE YOUR DREAM.
NEVER LET IT GO.
BECAUSE IF HE LOVES YOU, HE WOULDN`T BE SO SELFISH AND NOT LET YOU CONTINUE TO STRIVE FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE.

-Lianne

I pray that you go for your dreams, but you have to do what your heart is telling you. Just don't do something you'll regret. You are only young once.

If you both really love each other, and he is willing to wait for you, then go to school. If he's not, dump his ass and go to school anyway. School determines your future. Boyfriends determine the 5 seconds they're in your life.

Go to school. If he's not willing to let you go to your dream school, you deserve better. There's other guys out there. If you two were meant to be, you'll find a way. But just go to the school. School is so much more important than any relationship.
Also, I don't know if this helps but it's possible you two will stay together even if you do go to the school. Yes, long distance relationships are hard, but they're possible.

You are STUPID if you do not go to the dream school. I don't see how anyone can choose a high school fling over your FUTURE. A future he might not even be in, I'm pretty much sure he wont be in. Go to the school, find another guy there. I encourage EVERY one to drop their boyfriend when going to college (away especially) because it will be like a forest, men being trees, theyre are going to be hundreds of them, and each day you see some new. Be smart and pick the school, since you posted this so long ago, I hope you tell us what you did. (I hoped you picked the SMART decision.)
