What am I going to do?
Ok, so I dropped out of school in February.
But before I dropped out I applied to other universities closer to my home thinking that maybe I might be able to get a transfer if I managed to finish the year. Well today I got an email from U of T congratulating me on being accepted to the Humanities program (not the program I applied for, but I can still take the courses I want.) This comes at an extremely awkward time, seeing that my boyfriend and I were planning on moving in together in September and I honestly did not think I would get accepted due to the fact I dropped out.
Now I don't know what to do. I want to go back to school, but it means most definitely moving to Toronto, which my boyfriend will not want to do. He won't be happy with my being in Toronto at all because he has trust issues (he caught his last girlfriend screwing his friend on their one year anniversary). And I LOVE him, and I don't know what to do?
If you were in my place, and had a second chance at school what would you do?

Take it, for all you know you could be over within a year and then you will regret not going.
Education issss allllll about deferred gratification, you have to make a lot of sacrifices but in the end you will heap the rewards.
yeeeeeeeeer,

I'd go. If you're that serious about him that you're even CONSIDERING sacrificing your education for him, then I'd imagine there's a good chance that you'll be able to manage with a long distance relationship. It'd probably be good for him as well to be able to work out his trust issues.
How far away does he live from Toronto?

yeah, if you really want to pursue your education, and think it will be a lot harder to get in later, do it. If he reallly cares about you, he has to trust you. Its not fair otherwise.

I would take it. Worst case scenario- you hate it and things start to crumble with your boyfriend. If this happens, just drop out and move back.
If you never even go for it, then you're likely to find yourself resenting him one day

I think I am going to take it.
He has serious trust issues and Toronto is an hour away from where we live at the moment. He was worried sick about me while I was away working for 3 days in Niagara Falls (about 4 hours south of where I live). I just don't know how he'll take it. I don't want to break his heart, or mine.

Talk to him about it before you make any big decisions.
Only you can decide what to do in the end. Make it a joint decision though, don't automatically think that you have to choose him or your education - he might be more understanding than you think. After all, your education is very important and I'm sure he wants the best for you.
You know how you feel about him, and you know whether he is enough to sacrifice everything for. If you'd lay down your life for him and honestly believe he's the one then maybe you seriously need to rethink your future - perhaps staying with him (IF you have to choose) will be better for you in the long run. Only you know.
Good luck and let us know what you decide!  AND TALK TO HIM! xx
