I miss Steven more than I can stand. When he found out that he was being stationed in Japan, he immediately asked me to go with him. I couldn't imagine simply droppin everything - my life, my friends, my lease, my degree, my "perfect wedding" - and going to Japan with him.

looking at it objectively: you'll lose huge amounts of cash in the process of moving to Japan, risk never finishing your degree, have to deal with culture shock, and then the cost of re-establishing yourself in the US when his TOD is over.

by sticking around you can plan the wedding more efficently, finish your degree, line up a proper job for when he comes back, and not regret missing your final year of college.

additionally, if you cut back your wardrobe budget, you could probably afford to fly out to japan durring the summer and again in the spring.

in the end, staying here will teach you to appreciate him much more than if you never spend a significant amount of time apart; something that can't be learned any other way.

I think those two are trying to pacify.
The other side of the coin is that there will always be a college when you get back. Only if your faith in the relationship is as 100% secure as the odds that CU will still be around a year from now is it safe to stay here.

Here's the bottom line: If it's a tough decision where either direction has an upside...you can't make a wrong decision. If you left you continue to work on your relationship with Steven and if you stay you establish some security for yourself by getting the degree out of the way. You need a degree as an insurance policy.
