writes:Hi,I am currently in a LDR (long distance relationship) after dating my boyfriend for 9 months. He came to Asia, where I currently reside, to study on a one year exchange and we happened to fall in love. We had plans to move to London together since I was moving to London in three months to study and his hometown is in a neighboring country, within the EU but still outside the UK. However plans have changed and he found a job in his hometown and wont be able to see me for a lot longer then expected (possibly up to a year). I have a feeling that we aren't meant to be and should break things off, especially since we have not been dating for a long time. He assures me that he will find a way, but I feel that it's selfish for me to keep waiting and make him sacrifices that he really shouldn't. Confused x Reply to this Question

 If I were you, I'd probably make the difficult decision to let him go and date other people. You can always revisit that if neither of you find someone new and circumstances change and you can be in the same location.
I did the LDR for a while, but I got to spend time with him often due to frequent flyer miles. We made it work but we didn't have that kind of distance that you do.
If you can't ever live in the same place and make a real relationship, I think you really should let it go. It's hard, it's unfair, it's just life messing with perfectly good couples, I think.
I hope it all works out for you. Best wishes.
