Is this wrong.........................…

Well I have been with my boyfriend ( pretty much hubby ) for 8 years. We have a 2 and half year old daughter together and have been living together for almost 3 years. Last week he decided that he wasn't happy anymore and told me that he is planning on moving out in January. I am devastated of course, this was the love of my life the father of my child and for him to just say that he wants to leave hurts like heck... But after a week of crying and sobbing, I have decided to move on with my life. I been planning on going to Law school and now decided that since I am going to be a single mom, I might as well move closer to where the schools are, I live in Upstate, NY and want to move an hour south to jersey as soon as possible with my mom so I can go to law school and be near my family. Well he is not happy about the fact that I am taking his daughter to NJ. He claims that I should stay where I am so he can see his daughter whenever he wants and be fully involved in her life . I see it as this is my opportunity to better my life for myself and my daughter , i have let him hold me back all these years and its his choice to leave his family not mine, so why should i hold myself back???? I am not moving to china ( its less then an hour drive) and I am doing it to better my situation for myself and child not to spite him like he may think. Am I wrong???? Should I stay local for my daughters sake, he can come see her whenever he wants and I will even bring her half way to meet him..
