Should I break up with him?

So. My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years. Which is a really long time for me. He just moved away to Boston to pursue his PHD and I live on the west coast. He's going to be there for 5 years, so what do I do? I love him, but I'm not sure if he's "the one." Really, he's the only long term boyfriend I've ever had. I read this article on www.savvymiss.com about whether you should break up with him or not, and I'm not sure. What are some signs to tell if the relationship's over?

If after 2 years of dating neither knows it the other is "the one" then I'd say that it's time to re-evaluate the relationship. Did he say anything about you coming with him? What did he say about the relationship? I'd be wary and woild think about the benefits, if any, of waiting 5 years for him to finish his PhD are OR if there is a future for you two.
