<human>: So I'm gonna give a bit of background here. We are both in our second year of college and live together with a bunch of our other friends. We started off at the school as just really good friends but things progressed fairly quickly and unintentionally but we both thought the risk of living together and dating was worth it because of the strong attraction between us. 

Everything was great for about 7/8 months with no issues with living together or anything and we honestly had the best relationship I could ask for. However, a few weeks ago he dropped the bomb that he wasn't ready for a relationship at all and needed to concentrate on school work. 

He mentioned he feels great pressure from his parents to become a lawyer because of his brother being a complete dropout. The day he sprung this on me he said that his parents saw his brother and they were very upset about the way he was choosing to live his life. I don't know whether this is something his parents have put on him because he is the more successful child or whether its just an excuse but he claims that the relationship was perfect and he wishes there was another way but he needs to focus entirely on his academics. 

I just don't understand how I cannot be a part of his life despite this. I'm certainly not a difficult girlfriend and wouldn't dream of standing in his way, it's not even like we see each other a lot anyway because of school.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: boyfriend leaves me after a perfect relationship to focus on work. Don't know why and don't know what to do.
