<human>: My boyfriend (we'll call him Hunter) and I have been dating since our junior year of high school.  Our relationship isn't perfect, but we've generally been very happy being with one another;  we have a ridiculous amount of things in common, we support each other and always encourage the other to pursue goals and passions.  We don't often fight, and when we do, it's normally resolved in a day or so. We're always chatting and making jokes, and if we're ever quiet (which is very rare) it's one of the most comfortable silences I've ever known.  I love him so very much...  so I can't understand why I've been thinking about breaking up with him.  

Next week, Hunter will be going to technical college to pursue engineering.  I'll be going to university to pursue Biomechanics, four hours away.  I'm very excited for college, I want to experience the lifestyle entirely, but as horribly shallow as this sounds, I don't know if I want to be in a long-distance relationship.  

I've only dated two guys in my entire life, one from 8th grade-11th grade, and Hunter from 11th grade to now.  I've never gone on casual dates or had a "flirtationship" or anything that wasn't a full commitment.  In fact, my going to university may literally be the most freedom I've ever had. I think I would like to try casually dating in college, but I don't know if I can bear the thought of not being with Hunter.

I'm not sure if I should stay in my happy relationship (while being slightly disappointed in myself) or if I should pursue more freedom and leave my wonderful and amazing boyfriend.

<bot>: I may want to start college single, but I really don't want to leave my current boyfriend.  What should I do?
