So, I have this issue and I need advice !
I'm French and i was an exchange student in America last year 2015/2016. Met a boy , we were friends from October til the end of my exchange year and started to have feelings for each other around April ( I left on may 31 ) . I kissed him my last night there ! Way to go .. anyway we talked all summer when I was back in France and he said he was in love and that one day he was going to date me . I was depressed all summer that I had leave the place that I wasn't the nicest to him but he stood by my side the whole time .( during the year I found out my French family was moving to America , but to another state) so in august I moved to America with my family and received a package from him with his shirt I stole all year long , and letters he wrote this summer about memories we've made during my exchange year . I ended up going there in September , we saw each other ! Acted like a couple but weren't official, I was scared I had never had a boyfriend before , plus long distance is scary . I went back home in my state and a month later I said alright let's be together . I had to come back in November anyway for a wedding so we were going to see each other . When we saw each other it was amazing ! We spent a week in his apartment a week back in my host family's and his parents village, and a week back in his apartment and it was great ! He is the sweetest ! Coming from a religious family ( not obeying every rules) , he was such a gentlemen. I met his family . Dinner with his brother and wife . The kindest guy ever , the kind of guy that would carry you from the couch to the bed if you fall asleep on his lap ! Cook you breakfast before you wake up . Just the perfect guy !
I left again on November 28 th . But he was coming to see me and to meet my family for New Years . He came and it was great ! And cute and we were just so in love ! And he told me so many times " come live with me " . Anyway in September already I had plannned to come study in the same state as him , but not for him ! Just cause of friends there and host family that I just bonded with so much ! ( so I isolated myself from the world and decided this year in America was about work , and I worked all year in my parents business so I didn't meet new people ! No friends no nothing ) .
Anyway after he left , 20 days later , he broke up with me ! I was devastated, he said he still loved me so much but it was too hard not waking up every morning with me . So we managed to stay friends ,because we said we would try to be together again as soon as I'd move back. But it was hard ! I didn't want anymore friends I had enough in France and in the state of my exchange year ! And it was just different. Less talking, still every single day , but more ignorant, less caring. It was so painful seeing him enjoying life while I was devastated and depressed. So last week ( two months after the break up and faking it was all fine for two months) I asked what he wanted from me and he said he didn't know that his life was far from being figured out and that he didn't know . He didn't want to include anyone in his mess especially me. One guy that used to be his friend , but they hate each other now , told me he's been hanging out with other girls and partying and drinking and that I should just stop talking to him. Being desperate I kinda believed him even though it could be true or not he's single and he can do whatever he wants but I still was mad cause I was staying faithful even tho we aren't dating. I'm not a complicated girl or jealous at all he was really free and happy and didn't feel controlled or trapped at all . He was more protective and jealous than me. Anyway I got mad and said I was suffering. Being his friend was not possible for me , that I knew what I want and wanted from him . And that he should make up his mind quickly cause I'm not gonna wait around for him . He said he was going to see " how it works out " . But the discussion ended by him saying " it's maybe better if we stop talking for a while ". But a week before that I said that I loved him and he said it back , and one of our mutual best friend said to me " he said to me he's going to marry you one day ". So here I am a week later devastated, haven't ate all week, just waiting for a text or for a sign that he misses me . But nothing ! Im going back there for a school interview in two weeks and im lost and i have no idea what to do . I regret starting the fight cause If I would've held on a little bit longer I could just see him soon and just cuddle like we planned to do as " friends" like we used to say the whole time we weren't dating anymore ! I need to know ! I'm going back a whole month in July and moving in September and i need to know does he still love me ? Do I still have a chance ? Do at least miss him ?
Sorry it's long ! Thanks for your answered in advance cause I need help and advice !

@Lena0701,
You are both very young, and long distance fidelity is hard for anyone - but it's even harder when you are young.

As for whatever that other guy said, ignore that. It doesn't matter - and please don't involve anyone else in your relationships or get pulled into drama about it. You're right to understand that the other guy might not have had the best of motivations for telling you what he did, or he may have out and out lied to you. So forget about that.

As for the guy you want to be with, let me just say that if one fight unravels everything, then there wasn't much there to begin with. Go in two weeks and manage your expectations. If something happens, lovely. If it doesn't, then it doesn't.

As for you, you are letting this consume you. Don't. See a counselor if you feel you need to - you sound a bit depressed to me, actually (Note: I am not a doctor). But please take care of yourself. Don't let this affect your health any more than it already has.
