I'm not sure if there's a bunch of pessimists on the subreddit; I haven't visited here much. So, please, if you're going to be negative don't respond.  

I have been with my boyfriend for a year now. In the past, I have never pictured myself ending up with anyone, I always ran away or avoided relationship situations. When I met him, something inside of me melted. He is everything I secretly wanted but was too afraid to find. He just appeared when I least expected it and I couldn't be happier.  

Anyways, fast forward to now. He's going to college to become a shipping merchant, working in the engine room. When he graduates, he will have a job that requires him to work a month on/month off. He is doing this to pursue his dream of having enough money and time to travel. What we both want in our futures is to travel. I know some of you may be thinking I'm naive or fooling myself, but I know that this is the love of my life. It doesn't make sense to be with anyone else. Being with him is right. The only thing is, is that I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle being alone for a month at a time. I know that in order to be with him this is how it would have to be. Basically, either handle being apart so we can be together, or not have him at all. I can't imagine a life without him.  I know it's a ways down the road, but this is the only thing that could tear us apart, and I don't want that to happen. We have reached the point in our relationship where we see each other in one another's futures; it just makes sense. I don't want to lose him because being apart is something I'm not able to handle.  
 
Basically, any advice/similar stories/anything would be helpful.
