Whether he loves you or not, it's got nothing to do with the breakup. He broke up with you because he is moving. He knows that long distance relationships are hard and he'd rather have a nice breakup than a really sad one. Sure, it's POSSIBLE that you two wouldn't break up, but the chances are small and you'll have to go through a lot of pain and work really hard to stay together especially after being so close for so long. You need to talk to him about this. Tell him that you know he lied to you about why he broke up with you. You two need to talk about the possibility of a long distance relationship and if it is something that you want, tell him that. Things can be worked out between you two if you want them to be. If you'd rather just go your separate ways, you need to start doing that. You can't hang on to him and miss other opportunities around you. Yes, it's okay to talk to him a lot, but no more intimacy. This really is a big decision for you to make and I hope that you are happy in whatever you choose. Good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

My guess is that he wants to be free to date others when he moves. If it is some distance from you then its only natural he wants to do so.
I think he probably does care about you a lot. May even love you. He sees change coming and may not like it but its going to happen. It can be sad sometimes to leave the comfort of what your used to.
You need to talk to him and honestly see where things stand between you. See what hes thinking.
I'm sorry I couldn't give you a more cheerful answer. I hope it does work out for you. But you may need to start thinking about moving on if things don't change.
