its all downhill, 5 year relationship Options

[II_noFOREVER]

ive been with chris since the 8th grade and we`ve been together for almost 5 years now. when it`s good, it`s oh so good but when it`s bad, hell breaks open.

it`s weird with us because one day, he`s so committed to us. all he tells me is, "i want to be with you forever. i love you with all my heart. i want to marry you." and the next day, he tells me, "i don`t want to be committed. i don`t want to talk about the future." it hurts me because i love him that much and we`ve been together for 5 years. does he not want to be with me anymore? i don`t understand --- why does he always change his mind? is it something i`m doing? what could i do?

our relationship hasn`t always been the best because we`ve gotten into countless arguments over petty things. now i`m going to go to college in san diego and he`s going to be here in los angeles. i`m planning on coming back every 2 weeks, but i don`t know if it`ll be enough.

i don`t want him to get tired of this "long distance thing" and i don`t want his eyes to wander while i`m away. chris has always been a faithful person and i know he`d never cheat on me. is it wise to keep going with this relationship even though i`ll be a 100 miles away? i feel like i can`t live without him because we`ve been through everything together. what do i do?

help! thanks


EDIT ----
i know that 2 hours isnt as extreme as other long distance relationships :p

but remember that we have been practically neighbors for the past 5 years & its hard to go from that to being in different cities :(

THANKS for all of your advice.

I think he's afraid. Maybe he feels that he can't be as comminted as he thought he could or maybe he feels he might hurt you, and that he wanted to end things before he does something dumb. You just have to talk it out with him. But if your love is real love, things will be perfectlyyyy fine. (:
