Hey guys, so I’ve been dating my gf for about 5 months now. We are both seniors in college and we will be graduating in less than a month! I guess this started a few days ago when I found out she got a job offer in Boston. I always knew I would end up in New York City (which is 5 hours by car, or 1 hour by plane) so I knew this was coming because the stuff she is interested in is not typically in New York. I also feel weird and slightly jealous because she just got 2 job offers and will not be unemployed like I will be!

The reality of her living in a different city has finally hit me and it’s kind of scary. We are both deeply in love with each other and we had a conversation yesterday that we would make it work. Its going to be a big change from living 2 min away from each other to being 5 hours away. We are not too far from each other to make it impossible, but I can’t help but look into the future. Does one of us have to eventually move? Will I be able to make this work?

Today we had an interesting conversation. We like to take time to truly express our emotions and see if there are any issues between us because we like to be honest as possible. My gf brought up the fact that it was really difficult and strange to be leaving college. Like I said before we acknowledged that we would do everything we could to stay together. However, she mentioned that we might eventually break up. She said she totally did not want to break up with me, but she wanted to put it out there that it was a possibility so we wouldn’t so shitty if we ever did. This was a surprising comment, but I kind of agree with it. Don’t get me wrong I don’t want to break up, but from my comments above there are prob some hints at it. Anyways I may be overthinking this but I can’t help it. I wanted to see how any other guys dealt with LDRs, how they felt, how it ended up, etc. Thanks so much for your help!
