Long distance relationship

Tweet

I just found out today that my boyfriend of 6 years found a job far away. I still have summer school and school in the fall before I graduate from college. I am so use to seeing him all the time, basically every day. And now he got a job that would take 5 - 6 hours to drive to see him. He has problems driving over to my place the way it is when he lives 2 miles away now... and now to move hundreds. I told him, "Why do I think this long distance relationship would work...if you can't even drive 2 miles." He said, "I'm good at doing the big things, not the little things." I don't want to be selfish, but I do not think I'm the type of person that can handle long distance...especially knowing he's moving to the big cities St Paul / Minneapolis where there's going to be hundreds of opportunities for cute girls out there without the baggage of problems we've had. I told him that since I have a brother and sister down there, I'd have no problem moving down there too, but he doesn't want that. So then I feel like he doesn't want me with him, but then when I said, "Well then maybe we should break up because we want different things." he said, "I am disappointed you'd throw me away like that". I am so confused! I don't want us to break up over a stupid job...and I don't want to be selfish either, but I don't want to be miserable either.
