<human>: My girlfriend and I have been together since high-school. I graduated last year with the full intention on leaving home for college while she stayed here. We broke up in the fall of my senior year because of this but in the spring got back together. I attended a local college for the duration of this year but I still want to leave. I was accepted to a public university 6 hours away that I would love to go to. I just need to accept my admission. The only thing that is stopping me is trying to come to terms with how to tell her. I don't want her to see my leaving as putting a knife through our relationship, even though it might. I was planning on sitting her down after a wonderful night of doing what she loves, then have a long discussion about it during the apex of the date. I was planning on saying it will be a team effort and we must schedule talk times, visits, etc. I'm just nervous it'll blow up in flames but not so much that it will refrain me from leaving.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I plan on leaving to a college 6 hours away while my girlfriend of 3 years remains at a local college. How do I tell her that I'm leaving without causing her to feel as if I'm abandoning her?
