Should I break up during my exchange year?

[Anonymous]

I‘ve been with my boyfriend for 1 year. Before I left for my exchange year, we were fighting a lot and I felt sad a lot. I‘ve been on my exchange for 2 weeks and so far, I don‘t really miss him. I feel really guilty about it. Do you think I should break up or would I regret it later?

Diving into your love story here, it sounds like distance is casting some pretty revealing light on your feelings. If the spark feels like it's fading rather than burning brighter with a bit of space, that's a telling sign. Being away on an exchange year is not just a physical journey but an emotional one, and it's totally natural to reevaluate your connections. My advice? Follow your heart but lead with your head. If you don't miss him now, and the anticipation of seeing him again doesn't excite you, it might be your heart whispering (or screaming) for a change. Just remember, any decision made with honest self-reflection is unlikely to be one you'll regret. Instead, it could be the start of a thrilling new chapter. Love life is an adventure, not a guilt trip! ❤️✈️

thank you so much, i agree with you. I‘m just scared I will regret my decision when I am back home. but right now I think breaking up would be a relieve. Should I make a decision quickly?

You are much more likely to have regrets if you keep yourself imprisoned in a failed relationship and miss the opportunities that you have during an exchange year.
