He's gone abroad for I don't know how long - should we break up or should I wait for him?

A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

Hello. I'm 17 and I was in a relationship with a guy my age for 4 months. It was brilliant - I don't belive in soulmates, but he's pretty close. For both of us, it was the best relationship we'd had, on a whole new level.

A few days ago he told me he had to go away the next day. Abroad - and he wouldn't be able to contact me. I won't go into why he has to leave, it'll take a lot of writing. Anyway, we both just sat there crying, he was saying sorry over and over. He's gone for at least two months, but he doesn't know when he'll be back. So we decided we should probably break up for now, and maybe if he comes back we'll get together again. Although he told me to find someone decent and be happy.

I don't know what to do. It's worse than a normal break up because we're both still in love with each other, and it happened so suddenly. It hasn't really sunk in properly but sometimes it just hits me and I can't stand it. I don't want to be alone for however long it takes him to get back - I'm 17, I don't want to be stuck on my own. But every time I think about other guys, it just doesn't really interest me. I feel guilty even though we're not together any more. I know it's early days, but I can't see that changing. But I can't sit around waiting for something that may never happen.

What do I do?

Is this a legit question? Yes it is. I'm not saying why he's gone because it will result in a discussion of that as opposed to my actual question. Sorry I can't tell you why, but that's not really the point.

This sounds kind of fishy-- who has to suddenly go abroad, be out of contact, and not know when or if they'll be back? Is this legit?

He's 17, same as me. Oh and by the way - it says "should we break up" in the title, but we already have, I don't know if I made that clear. Thanks BlondieGirl, I sort of believe that too but I don't want to get my hopes up... :S x
