I told her it's getting too strong and we shouldn't if I am going to move away. She says she has never met anyone like me and she is completely in love. I do love her too but do you think it's worth continuing. The ONLY reason I would break up with her I'd to prevent her from more heartbreak in future because I care so much!What do u lot think?

 Some days it takes me nearly an hour to get to work. I live 9 miles from my office.
When my husband and I were dating it was LDR and he lived 2 hours away by car. I saw him, once we got serious, at least 3 nights a week. (Friday night-Sunday night and drove to work EARLY Monday morning from his place)
Had we been an hour apart I think we would have been together even more.
An hour is not a lot to folks with transportation or who live in an area where there is good transportation.

 Hi,
One hour is possible. It's not too far and with technology such as emails, texts, skype etc it will all help.
My only thoughts here are that you don't seem so keen on her. You see, if you were really interested in her, you would go out of your way to make it work for you both. I agree that an hours drive can and could be a nuisance, but it's not a lot if you love someone or want to be with them. She seems very keen to make things work and continue, so ask yourself if you do as well. Best wishes.

 Tempest in a teapot ? Much ado about nothing ?
I am no big fan of LDRs, and I am quite skeptical about their utility and sustenaibility.
But... one hour drive ? That's not really long distance. If you live in a big city, - as several millions of people do in NY, LA, Rome, London etc.etc. -- one hour drive or train or bus would be quite possibly the NORMAL distance you have to cover to see your friends, have a social life, date etc. , and somehow all these millions of people cope .
Sure, you and your gf probably won't be able to live in each other's pocket , or to meet asoften as you'd like... if you want to keep it going you can easily adjust- quality over quantity . If that's all the problem, I frankly can't see in it anything that justifies all the dire predictions of heartbreak and tears.
