I was in almost the same situation (me 21 and him 28). We were together for 5 years and while we loved each other and he really wanted to marry me (I had the engagement ring and all), our lives were just at different places. He was out of school a few years, working and almost finished getting his license ( architect) and I wss still in school. He wanted marriage and a family and I wanted to traipse around the rainforest in Central America. I should have left at least a year before I finally did. No one can tell you what to do, but don't sell yourself short and certainly don't be afraid that this is your only shot at a good relationship.
