My boyfriend and I have been dating for three years. We've had our ups and downs but all and all it has been a great one. It's been long distance for the past eleven months. During this time, because it's been very difficult for me, I've been bickering at him for not making enough effort for our relationship. He recently said that this isn't going to work and that I should be with someone that can be here for me because that's what I need. His career is very important to him and so he has to be away all the time. I asked that we work it out and that he should commute like we had planned. He said this is better for the both of us. Now he can just go and apply anywhere for jobs instead of trying to come closer to me. He said it might be about four years before he could come closer to me and that I shouldn't wait that long. We love each other so much and talked about marriage. He means the world to me and now I realize what I've lost. I'd do anything to get him back. He said we should have no contact for a while so that it'll be short-term pain and we'll both get over it sooner. I agreed but I absolutely don't want that. I don't know what to do to get him back and I could really use some wise input.
