Seeking advice on my relationship: I've been with my boyfriend for nearly seven years, having started dating in high school. Now I'm currently in my final year of college (age 21), set to attend graduate school in the Fall, while he'll be spending his fifth year abroad in Spain for his engineering/spanish major (he is also 21 years old). Despite numerous discussions about our future, he used to express certainty about getting married. Lately, however, he's been making statements like "I might be a different person when I come back from Spain," suggesting that the experience might change him, and he's uncertain about our future together. I directly asked him if he wants to break up before leaving for Spain, and he insisted that he loves me and doesn't want to end things. Still, he admitted uncertainty about what the future holds. We are still very young, and both have plans for graduate school. Maybe that has something to do with it? But, it feels like he may not want to continue the relationship. Should we consider ending it?
