Lily, maybe this would be a good time to do some soul searching and decide what you would like your future to look like, how you can attain your goals...and then decide if he fits into the picture or not.
There is nothing wrong with having some space when he gets out to see how life on the outside unfolds with him, and then decide if this works for you.
You have been given time, and peace, and opportunity to make your own decisions on what is best for you. Embrace that and don't worry about the future right now, today is enough.
Hugs
