<human>: My boyfriend (now ex) and I started dating our senior year of high school when we were 17. I ended up going away to college while he stayed at home. We have made it last for 3 and a half years but this weekend it finally fell apart. He is afraid that if we stay together that he will regret not having the opportunity in his life to go out and hook up with random girls but he wants to be with me in the future for marriage and whatnot. I get why he wants this, and I have thought of it before myself but I have never really been interested in that life. 

He told me he still loves me more then anything and can never picture marrying anyone else except me. I don't really know what to do with that. He says we will meet up again maybe in a few months when I am back home and I graduate in less then a year. He also told me he will always love me and I can always talk to him whenever I want.

I don't know how to take it. I want to give him his space and do whatever he wants, but am I supposed to get over this? Should I keep thinking about him and just plan on getting back together in the future? I want to be with him again in the future but should I just drop that hope and get over him all together? It could be foolish because he could meet someone else and be with them and then I will look like an idiot waiting for him. 

I love him more then anything so it hurts so much. We have been through so much together that I want to wait for him, I keep telling myself we will get back together but is that just a stupid thought?

If anyone has any advice on what to do or has been in a similar situation I would really appreciate anything!

Provide a brief overview of the text.
