<human>: throwaway because he reddits also.

My SO (17M) and I (18F) have been together for over 3 years (all of high school thus far). Our relationship has had its ups and downs, like all, but I am completely in love with him.

He plans on breaking up when we leave for college (sometime in August) because he thinks I deserve a good, decent goodbye. He is concerned that he will go to a party and want to hookup with a girl and text me to break up if we don't do it preemptively. I originally fought this, but now I have come to accept that regardless of how great our relationship is, we have an expiration date.

So, I need your advice. Every time I think of college I burst into tears because I know I will be losing such a huge part of my life. I will already be in a strange place with people I don't know, and I won't even have the person who I am closest to there to comfort me.

I guess I need you to explain to me why I will be completely happy and okay when this does happen. Any advice as to how I can stop dreading it and maybe get excited will be awesome. Advice for getting over him when the time comes would be cool too too. Really any honest opinion is welcome.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: my SO plans on breaking up with me before college and I can't find a way to accept that emotionally. It's preventing me from wanting to take that step in my life.
