You’re 18 years old. It’s a time in your life when a lot is possible! It sounds like your boyfriend of several years is transferring colleges to be near you, and this is a commitment. It also sounds like he made the decision without involving you. In other words, it was unilateral and you were told about it, but not consulted first. In the meantime, you’ve met someone else and you’re dating this new guy, too. It’s hard to not imagine that some part of you, deep down, is dating this new guy just as your boyfriend of several years, is moving to be near you to sabotage or act out on your feelings about the move. 😕 Ask yourself if there’s any truth to your avoiding commitment with this long-time boyfriend by dating this new guy. You may not even realize you’re doing this — but now is the time to dig deep and figure out your true motive. This isn’t going to be easy no matter what you do — so remember that, but the reason is because you’re young and looking to see what life has to offer. I think that the commitment the boyfriend initiated by moving to be close to you, scared you.
