I've tried to do the long-distance thing twice. You end up hurting more than if you'd just broken it off when you leave. It's better to say, "We're breaking up because we'll be 3000 miles apart." than it is to say, "I know I said I'd be faithful, but as the months went by I was so lonely and then I was at this party and this guy I kinda had feelings for was there and he made a move and I didn't want to shoot him down..."
I made it a year once, and came back and we found we were both different people and that neither one of us had been entirely faithful. That just sucked, like "Why didn't I just live life during that year instead of waiting for THIS?"
You get the idea. Long distance relationships never work for very long. It will hurt to end it now, but it will hurt more later if you don't.

You don't say your age but long distance relationships are never easy even among adult friends. My son's been in one for almost a year and has spent a month of the last 3 visiting and it hurts like hell to leave. They're only 200 miles from each other.
But I wouldn't just break up. Agree to keep in touch and usually it will die a natural death with less pain or just end being friends. It will be alot easier to adjust if you have someone from home still on your side to write or call. Plus who knows it might work out in the future. Don't cut all ties since you both still obviously care.

Hello there! Yeah you are in a tough situation here. Long distant relationships are very hard. Relationships require that you see one another to do all those fun couple things. That's what draws you closer to one another as I am sure you know already. If you had a long distant relationship before that did not work out becauase of the distance between you, then it's probably a sign that it won't work with this one either. It's only fair to both of you to have someone there all the time to have fun with and all that good stuff. I hope that you can figure it out. Good luck and have a great day!

I don't think you should break up w/him if things are ment to be then ur relationship will tend to work it's way around the fact that you are so far. but if it doesn't work then i'm sure you will be able to find you another love. hope fully thing work out for the best. and you know you should give it a try you never know what will happen don't assume things bc it happened w/ ur ex.

Well...if you don't want memories of him sticking around (I don't know if they are good or bad) if they are good memories then that should tell you to think twice before letting go, but if you are so absolutely totally miserable then don't sit and wait until you have a place to go to. Really if you two got the place together and you are the one that is breaking up with him, then you should consider packing up and leaving. Don't stay just because you need a place to live, especially if you are truly miserable.

I think you should break up with him.
You know you are not going to see him and to be honest, long distance relationships don't work out.
Listen, If it is meant to be, then they'll be a way.
Maybe he'll move down there just for you,
Hey you never know, but for now you don't,so might as well just finish it off.

If It Has Already Crossed Your Mind Then Theres Your Answer. Break Up With Him. If You Both Love Each Other That Much He Would Move Away With You.

By simply asking the question it appears that you are more inclined to the break up. By your own admission it didn't work in the past and you think hope that somehow this will be different. I think you already know how this will playout. Whether you break up before or after is up to you, but if it were me I would have one last great date and part ways. Close the chapter and start a new one.

This happened to me before and I broke it off with my ex because I was moving far away. I came back to the town I lived in two years later and she was a different person, as was I.
It made sense for us to break up because we both had paths that were not going in the same direction and ultimately we're both better off for it. We keep in touch, but the most important thing is that we're both happy and happy for each other.
God bless.

For now the best thing is for you to breakup that way you end your relationship in good terms and who knows if later in life you meet each other again and are able to continue a relationship. But on the other hand if you continue your relationship long distance then you are faced with the tempation of meeting new people and so is he and maybe even seeing other people where you will be and where he will be so one of you might get hurt.
You already know what is the best thing to do so do it for your heart's sake.
Good luck
