Boyfriend plans to move across the country. Should I end the relationship now? ?

Love his company for the next three months and then say good bye. Send postcards. Break up. Stay friends. And start dating other people again once you are ready after he's gone.

He's focusing on his life right now. It's the right time for you to focus on your life as well. It's been a splendid 9 months, yes? So have a splendid three more unless you want to put an end to it now. People don't have to break up on bad terms. Sometimes they break up on good terms!

Well, while long distance relationships certainly are harder and generally less successful, it's not true to say they "never" work. I personally know a few couples who had a long-distance period in their relationship and are still happily together or even married in one case.

Here's the thing about long distance relationships though, both people have to be 10000% committed to making them work. And that means, for starters, believing that they can work. Trusting that they can work... and trusting each other. You'll both need a whole lot of trust and faith in each other. You'll both need to be committed to, committed to reaching out when you can, seeing each other when you can, spending the money it'll require, making yourselves available when it works for both of you, etc. All relationships take work but long-distance relationships take even more work. I suggest you tell him what you want and see if he's willing to work with you to stay together. If not, then you were already doomed to fail even if distance wasn't an issue. I wish you the best!!!

yes long distance never works

My advice is to end it. The reality is that he's not optimistic about the future of your relationship or his ability to stay committed in the face of distance. The truth is that long-distance works if two people are really passionate about each other. If he doesn't believe that your relationship is strong enough to overcome that distance, then he isn't the one regardless of how well things have gone so far.

Long distance is not going to work out. He’ll be working and you will be at school. Flying back and forth is going to rarely happen. And the enevable will happen. One of you will end up Meeting someone and moving on.  You both are still young 

I would end it when he leaves.  Stay in touch as friends if possible 

Is he a pilot for a major commercial airline? If so I'm sure he could work something out where he can still spend time with you. A pilot's life is not the most pleasant because of all the travel. If you're that close, why not just do the long distance thing until you're finished with your education then you can move to be with him and begin your career. That sounds like your best option to save things rather than just call them off. I'm sure it wouldn't be too long a wait depending on what you're in college/university for.
