Hi everyone,
I just registered to the forums and figured it would probably be a good idea to start with an introduction. So here goes;
My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 6 months now, we met online but we're both Dutch and don't live too far apart. A few months ago he was offered a fantastic job "promotion", only it means that he needs to relocate to New York City for at least a year (and a maximum of 2 years). The offer was almost too good to be true though, and he has already travelled to NY for work in the past, only for shorter periods so he pretty much knows what he's getting into. The offer was particularly hard to resist because the job he has here will cease to exist. So after we talked about it (and I had given my support) he accepted.
Even though we had only been together for a relatively short time we agreed immediately that we were going to make this work. At first I tried to find a way to go with him, but it turns out my moving to the U.S. is simply not a realistic option... That means we're going to have to maintain a long distance relationship for the time being. I know I can wait for him and I know I can trust him to do the same. I'm also happy for him because of the opportunity he's been given, but at the same time I'm absolutely terrified. He is truly the best thing that ever happened to me. I've been in a bunch of crappy relationships in the past, but being with him all of that seems to disappear, like it's of no relevance anymore. With him, it feels like I finally get the chance to be the best I can possibly be. There's no way I'm not going to do everything in my power to make this relationship work, he feels the same way.
He's leaving in less than 2 weeks so I decided I need to find a way to cope with the situation before my fears and insecurities get the better of me and I panic and ruin something that has every chance of being great and more. So I turn here for support.
Thanks for reading!
