 My boyfriend and I have been together 10 years. He is a roadie so is away for months at a time. He has in the past two years been away for 6 months, then back for 10 days then away again for 6 months. It is hard but we love each other enough to be honest about our feelings, but be faithful to each other when they are away. Even when he comes home, I see so little of him because he sleeps so much to make up for the time that he is away.
I would think that if this relationship is worth its salt, then you will find a way to be honest enough with each other, but faithful enough to stay faithful to one another for a year. A year is not nearly as long as it sounds! Besides you can call each other (a luxury we seldom have as he gets little time), email from cyber cafes, write to each other and if he really wanted, possibly come out and see you after 6 months for a few weeks.
You have a lot of options, dont throw in the towel now if this relationship is worth saving. Yes, he may be there in a year if you did throw in the towel but he may be with someone else and you dont want to let a good thing go.
Dont not go on your trip either, it is something that you so will regret later in life. I had that opportunity so many years ago and didnt do it, now I so regret it! Dont let anyone talk you out of it.
