Listen, you're young and have a bright future. Your choice of university will be with you forever. If he leaves you because you want to give your future the best shot it has, what does that tell you? His mental illness certainly means you need to be thoughtful about how you tell him, but it doesn't mean you should sacrifice your future for him. Does he see a doctor regularly? If so, you might ask his doctor how to talk to him about it. Additionally, you might want to tell him with someone else present or in a public place.

You should pursue what you worked so hard for, and in my honest opinion you can do better then this guy. Don't let him define you, time to find someone who is going the same direction you are. You are patient though for enduring it all with him, but he really needs to see a professional. He may get angry and not reply well, but he needs to straighten those things out before he can be with anyone. Hope this helps.
