Wow...props to you for standing by your decision so strongly. It's completely the right decision, mind you, but a g/f of 2 years probably didn't make it easy. But if she really would make you choose and can't understand why you wouldn't stay home, she's just not right for you. If you don't stay together through this, just remember that there are PLENTY of good women at college. mature, too...sometimes. ;)

i would not take her back simply because of that incredibly selfish act. she obviously doesnt care about your your future.

In 15 years you'll be banking the big bucks from a good education and will barely remember her name.

She is being very shortsighted, but then what do you expect from a typical highschool chick..

You have faith in her... even after she just dumped you like that? Hmmm... perhaps you might want to rethink that as you going to have even more difficult problem occuring.

I think it is not as bad as it seems. While I think you made the right decision (your education is better for the both of you in the long run), she is young and alot of young women are short sighted and don't see the big picture. It is typical of young woman. I wouldn't discard her in the future if she were to change her mind and want to get back with you. I just think that she has a little growing up to do. Good luck man.

I just cannot stand to hurt her - I would rather hurt myself. She seems so dedicated to me but at the same time how can I know that seeing how she acts here. Anyway thanks again so much guys.

hos come and go, but achievement is forever. No matter what happens, no one can take your education away from you.

Hard decision... how good of a girlfriend is she?


If you guys were about to get married or something then it's a tough one. But if she is just a casual girlfriend I'd replace her up in Toronto.

well said, not only should you got to the school in TO, break up with her, if your relationship is that unstable that she would break up for even choosing a different school.....wont last.

Don't sacrifice, get away from home... so much better and so much more fun. If the relationship is going to work then it will last through it... if not your at a bigger school with a bunch more girls... take it from someone who was in that position

Wait wait wait, you're placing your interests above hers, doesn't that make you selfish too?

Boys, girls are not put on earth to give give give to you, relationships involve two people (or three, if you're really cool).

That said, I'm sorry your girlfriend broke up with you, I'm sure it's not easy for you and it always sucks to have something crappy happen to you right after something awesome happens. She reacted badly, and she is being a baby, but, you are making a decision that is changing BOTH of your lives forever, she does have a right to react that... it's a tough situation, but I hope you realize you are lucky to have someone to miss you when/if you go, there are millions of people in this world who would LOVE to be in your shoes.

Whatever you choose, it's not going to easy, but that's what being an adult is all about.

Good luck to you.
