How to handle this break up situation
My boyfriend of 4 years broke up with me 3 weeks ago. After the initial cooling off phase of about 2 weeks, he contacted me. The reason for the breakup is that he will be moving in a couple weeks to a city 9 hours away, and with both our busy schedules, and our lack of money, as I am in school, and he won't be making much it will be hard for us to see each other, not to mention its different countries. He will be home for the summer but that is it.
We have been long distance aside from summers for four years however it was only an hour away so we would see each other every couple weekends. I am in school and he is going there to pursue a professional hockey career in the AHL.
Once he contacted me after the cooling off period, he explained that he wanted to still see me if I wanted to before he left, as he won't see me for a year and will miss me a lot. We have hung out twice since then, and it has been good, but a little strange as he still acts like we are together always hugging me, and staring at me etc.
I don't know what the best thing to do is, I love spending time with him but the other part of me is cautious because I know once he leaves there is a good chance we will fall out of contact eventually. (happened once before for 6 months, but got back together when he got home)
If anyone has any insight or advice on what I should do I would really appreciate it!
Also, he has said things pertaining to the future, such as saying he has a feeling he will see me before he gets home , insinuating I will make a visit down. And saying he will want to see me when he does get home etc. Maybe a guys perspective on this would be of more help
