Is it possible to have a long distance relationship for a year?
Yes, it is but involved a lot of work, communication, sacrifice and compromise and tbh, most people can’t survive a long distant relationship, even when they’ll be aprt less than a year or have been together for longer than you two. There’s a lot of reasons to it, and plenty of threads on Tsr about it.
It’s more likely to work if both of you are on the same page, willing to put in the effort and time, and ultimately positive about the experience. Ideally, he would go with you.
However, Sounds like he doesn’t want to go and won’t change his mind any time soon. The only thing you can do is what you’ve started to do, which is talk to him, explain your feelings, wants and ambition.
He might not change his mind and you’ll have to accept that ultimately. You’ll then need to make a decision on what to do next, stay or go.
Honestly, you shouldn’t miss out of the experience and doing what you want to do just because your boyfriend doesn’t. It’s not worth it, sounds bad, but you can find someone else, but if he truly care for you, he’ll support you and try help make it work.
If it’s a truly strong relationship and meant to be, then you’ll survive and manage. If not, then it wasn’t meant to be.
You might need to make a decision not on trying to do LDR and make it work, but if the relationship can survive and exist if you do end up going. I would say, that’s not your problem. If you want to go, then go and if he wants to stay then fine. Don’t let him hold you back, you’ll most likely look back and regret it (if you don’t go), and potentially just hate or blame him for it for not going whe. You look back at it and just frustrate your.
Just have to talk it through, think about the implications and make a decision. Good thing is, you have some time to think about it.
