<human>: My boyfriend and I have been going out for 3 years and it has been a happy relationship. He went studying abroad for 3 months overseas and has come back recently. 

The first week was great but I asked him if he saw a future with me. He said he didn't want to commit to anything because we were still young and he was thinking of studying abroad again for a year. He doesn't want us to break up but he doesn't think it's fair to me if we do a LDR and put me through it. 

I want him to go abroad, because it's a great opportunity and I know he'd regret it if he didn't go but when I told him this he said he didn't want to regret going and always thinking about what could have been between us. He keeps saying he loves me and says he doesn't to break my heart. 

We've agreed to stay relatively normal until this opportunity is certain and enjoy the time that we have together. I'm not sure how to deal with this because I'm sad and I want him to stay but I also want him to go as well. He feels the same way and we both feel lost.

Sorry if it seems jumbled and rambling on. Just trying to see what other people think.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: relationship of three years is at a standstill because bf might be going overseas for a year and both parties are lost on what to do.
