Help I need some advice..

ivy

So I have being kicked out of my dads place and need to find a place to move to and get a job and stuff. I have an opportunity to move back up north with the rest of my family but my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years is worried about the distance while he finishes his degree (3-4 years). Thjs would be a really good opportunity for me as I already have a place to sat and jobs lined up... what should i do... we are both worried about the distance and what it will do to our relationship.
