my bf is moving to the united arab emirates to work for anything from 6 months to a year. When he told me i was a bit upset and told him that i cant do this long distance thing anymore. self preservation thing kicking in me thinks. i am not angry with him or anything. he has to take the opportunity. so last week we were a bit up in the air, but he is back from europe this week and he wants to have a proper talk to me about things.

in the meantime he has been very sweet telling me how much i mean to him. i dont want to get hurt anymore, but i am thinking that if itsmeant to be its meant to be when he gets back but at the same time i really want him to0. i am scared that dragging a relationship across several countries will not be good if we are to have a chance in the future?

but at the same time i think we could do it for a bit longer. i dont think my bf wants to give it all up. so i ve backed off until he comes back because i want him to relasie for himself what he really wants whether that be carrying on with the relationship. i dont want it to be a case of him "wanting something he cant have". i want his decision to be rational.

what do you think? am i doing the right thing? its pretty hard though.
