Is the answer yes and no? No, relationships don't have a expiry date, however, you do have to be compatible for it to work out, and in this case it seems that your life goals are fairly different, which can be unfair on whichever one of you compromises in the long term. Have a good chat about it and explore the reasons behind it, but if she will be deeply unhappy staying and you will be unhappy moving out of the relationship, it may be best to call it a day. If you both have jobs that allow for travel a lot though, that may be a compromise and a couple of years may change you or hers goals again therefore you say goodbye forever with expiry date stamped on it.
For certain people certain relationship are embedded deep in our heart, we can’t forget them. We are no more in contact with them on call or in person but still years later when we sit somewhere quietly and we remember them. we hope to meet some day out of blue and it puts a smile on our face automatically which means this special relationship has no expiry.
Rewind back to school days for some time and you remember your first crush, right? But high school is a small part of your life. Your not going to be with your crush in the future. You know very well that you are not going to see people you went to school with after high school. So it doesn't matter really whether the relationship stays on or not.
But stop focusing on the future and focus on the present while you do that you can't stop focusing on the past and focus on the present because the past has some hidden relationships which you used to enjoy at that time when your were a teen. If you keep on thinking about the future and its possibilities, how in the world are you going to enjoy your time with her? Think about it.
And now you have said that you love her, your childhood buddy. Do you really? If you had a chance, would you spend the rest of your life with her and never get bored after knowing each other for 25 years before your marriage to her? I am not sure you don't love her, but think about that once again.
This is what you should've of done. If you knew that the time was going to come where you two will go your separate ways which happens to most high school students and you should of have not created a relationship with her. If you two were just friends, then this would not have been as hard. Now think about that again.
Most high school relationships never last. I am not saying all relationships, but I'm saying most. You are done with the high school and then attend different colleges. And its sad how some kids blow off a scholarship because of their girlfriend /boyfriend won't be going to that university. Its just sad but true. You have your life ahead of you. Filled with your own surprises. You could always somehow meet up with her in the future.
Let us say now we assume that every relationship has an expiration date. One day I will die. One day you will die. In this planetary realm, it is unlikely that anything in physical form will last forever. But, from my experience Love can last forever and we can keep coming back into form over and over again. I have been 20 where you have been and at 17 and I completely understand where you are coming from.
It is hard to give everything to someone when you don't know what is going to happen soon. You are so right that the unbelievable can happen! My best advice is to ask yourself different questions like. "How can I just stop thinking about the future with you or without you? and your might get a correct answer from your heart. How do you enjoy a relationship with an expiration date? When you are in teens, you have a girlfriend whom you love, but somehow you feel like your heart won't let you love her more because you know you will part ways in the future.
Your girlfriend wants to travel and live abroad and you don't know what you want, but you do know you're not comfortable with that idea. Also college is coming for you. You asked how you could stop thinking about the future like that. There's only one way to accomplish exactly that. Take one day at a time - every single day. Only one day at a time, period. Now say if every relationship has expiration date or not? Stay blessed! #kishoreshintre
