Today, I changed all my plans, after months of him begging me to, so I could go to the same university as my long-term boyfriend. After I sent in my deposit, he told me we couldn't live together in college because I was "invading his space." FML

Never change your plans for the sake of a single boy in your youth. In this era, it's just not worth it, darling...and now you see why....

If he was so desperate to be together, why didn't he go to the college of your choice? Dump him, because let's face it, he's probably a clingy loser anyway. Pull your pants up and do what you want to do; independence is always attractive. More often than not, your education will last longer than your relationships, especially if it's a high school relationship, so always put school first.

I have to agree with redbluegreen. Hopefully, OP, you'll still be doing a course which is what you really want to do. But you should have stuck with your original choice. If you really wanted to be together throughout uni, you could've made it work in different places if you both really wanted it to. It's nice you were willing to make that sacrifice, but at that point in your life, the education was probably more important.

What redbluegreen said is spot on. I only know maybe one or two people that stayed with their high school partners. Odds on, you'll go through at least another half-dozen or so relationships before you settle down. The quality of the education you get now will be with you for the rest of your life, yet the guy that influenced the choice didn't even make it to day one. There is a valuable lesson here.

assumptions on the internet: 80% inaccurate and proves how the poster likes to generalize.

And how many statistics are made up? :P And not all assumptions are generalisations, you can assume something about one person and one person alone, that doesn't mean you generalise that all people like that person must be the same. Either that, or I have misunderstood your point.

80% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

A high degree of implied accuracy makes people 6.435 times as likely to believe a statistic.

The phrase "don't put all your eggs in one basket" comes to mind, although I have no idea what it means. Just like the phrase, "When in Rome..."
