I am dreading him going and I realise how hard it is going to be when he leaves.Should I stop seeing him now to make it easier for myself in the long run, or carry on and enjoy the next 5 months with him....?

Can't you go with him? I understand that you both have your lives, but when you love someone, it's worth making changes and sacrifices for both your benefit...

This is one is simple stay, with him! You enjoy his company and u have grown to like him over the time you have been together, wats stoppong you from keeping the relationship going? He gona be gone for a year but when he gets back everything will get back to normal. Im sure he will miss you loads while hes away and you will miss him but u will learn to cope without him just while he is away and what dosent hurt u makes you stronger! If u can keep a realtionship going between you too whens hes away then that shows how strong you both are as a couple! Hope this helps! Love Ali xxxx :)

Do you love him ?? If yes then there is nothing at all stopping you from still being together when he comes back, yes it will be hard but if it is true love it will pass so quickly. You could also go out and see him if you wanted. On the other hand if it is just a boyfriend but not bothered he is going away, which to me sounds like that or you wouldnt be thinking of splitting up with him in the first place, then it would be best to do it now instead of the pain later on and the worry of oh 6 more days till i have to tell him sort of thing. A lot of things can happen in 5 months, you could get engaged, fall pregnant, something may happen with your job and you have to move away. Think about his feelings too tho. and Good Luck. Nicnac x

Why can't you stay together while he's away? As someone who's had a long distance relationship the last 3 years I don't see why it has to end. Ok if he's going travelling around the world or something than I could probably see your point.
Will spendig the next 5 months with him make it harder to end it with him just before he goes? Does he feel the same way? Wouldn't it be a little rough on him to find just before he goees away that his girlfriend is ending it with him?!
Its a tough situation but I hope it works out for you!
