How do I say goodbye to my true love without making it harder for him?

A female age 51-59, *assy writes:

i have been with my bf for nearly 9 months now. i never belived people when they said one day you will find the man for you. i now know what they mean. he is loving, caring and very effectionet. he works away some times which i have always known. i am fine with that as that is the person i am in love with. he has been offered an amazing job which means he is leaving in january. he has called it all of between us because he does not think it is fair on me to wait for what could end up being longer than a year. i have told him how i feel and that i will wait. I dont expect him to be faithful as that is not fair to ask of any man, but all i asked was that when he is finished with the job he comes home to me. we are both hurting lots but he seems to think this is the best way for us both and that it will be easier to say goodbye. i am in a real bad way, but don't want him to miss this oppertunity, because i know he would end up hating me if he did not go. so my question is how do i say goodbye to the man i am in love with, without him seeing just how much it is killing me inside? someone please come up with a solution for me.
