Hi Behoma,
The problem will probably (to an extent) take care of itself as soon as you move to a new campus. Yes, he will still be in love with you. But it won’t be this constant in your face pining. Six months is a long time, enough for him to reset, or at least find a new support system.
I have a feeling he will always be creepily invested in your life. Mostly because it is now an entrenched bad habit of his. Kind of like automatically logging onto FB everyday.
So after the off campus experience, what? You go back to the old campus? When you graduate, will he move to your area?
In the meantime, limit your interactions with him. One text/call/visit a day. When you see him face to face, be neutral, nice, and boring. No bringing up crushes. No information he can latch onto. Be legitimately busy, so after fifteen minutes of him you can say, “Gotta go!”
Good Luck!
Inky
