I might have to go long distance and its freaking me out. Advice?

Going to go straight to the point for this. So the original plan was for my boyfriend and I to move in to an apartment together wherever my graduate program is. He'd find a new job and I'd be in school again. However, he doesn't really like his job and he's finally getting into his passion, photography, which he wants to turn into a money making career. He has begun to create professional networks and clients here, where we live now, and he may want to stay here while I go to school. This means we'd have to be very long distance. He has started to create a life here but I plan on moving around a lot with possible Americorp programs, graduate school, and work. I don't want to drag him around the country and possibly ruin his photography dreams. I totally support this plan and his ambitions because he fully supports mine. He doesn't want me to stay here if my goal is to go to school elsewhere. But, I was really loving the idea of us living together after I graduate. We've been semi-long distance for a while and I'm ready to take the next step of our relationship. I haven't really told him how I feel about long distance and I'm not sure if I should. I don't want to hold him back but I don't want to put our relationship in jeopardy. Any advice about any aspect of this??

I would say I think you both need to have a serious heart to heart talk about all of this. Do both of you plan on eventually getting married??? How serious are both of you about staying together? I'm not saying that either one of you needs to give in, but trying to do a long distance relationship isn't very easy to sustain.

I’ve tried talking to him a couple times but I think he just doesn’t want to face it, wants to focus on now instead of dwelling on the future. But we are pretty serious and we’ve talked about marriage and our future together. So I’m not sure what this all means for us.
