I got accepted into the school, found a place to live (signed the lease ), and am searching for employment.
The now ex didnt say anything about me leaving. He had a nice point of view actually. Me continuing my education is forward progress and he can't stand in the way of that. He will miss me, but he is not sad because this is a positive change.
It makes sense and made me see the situation in a different light. I am not mad at him, just glad to be moving on with my life. I am sad because we did have some great times and adapting to my "new" life will be hard.
