Well, my long distance boyfriend just informed me that he might move to New Jersey within 5-6 months.?

Question

He says that his office in Northern New Jersey is about 1 hour each way to his home in Newtown PA. He just moved to NewTown a year ago. I live in Maryland which is about 200 miles from Newtown and he usually comes down every other weekend. I applaud him on getting ahead in his company, however when I asked him does this mean that in few months time we won't talk and/or have vists very often. He quickly changed the subject. Do you guys think that I should make a clean break now before 5 months comes quickly. I care for him so much but I really don't want to hold him back.

Answer 1

In order to make a relationship work, there should always be compromise. I think you and your bf should sit down and talk about having such relationship and find solutions that would satisfy both of you..like visits once a month or...eventually you moving on with him or something. But if you think breaking up with him would be easier then by all means do it.

Answer 2

Just take things one day at a time.....Why worry about what MIGHT happen in 5 months. Do you believe that the relationship won't work? Before I married my husband we lived 12 hours apart in drive time and an hour and a half flight time......If I would have broken up with him while we were dating because I was worried about what "might" have happened....we wouldn't be married for 5 years with an 8 month old son....
