You cannot be in denial that he is leaving, or pretend everything will be the same as before. You can't just stop him, and he cannot stay. This is a very tough situation in a relationship and you can not be mum about it and avoid the topic and behave like nothing is going to change.

A huge part of the relationship is going to change. The change will not be easy, it will be very difficult. So instead of keeping quiet about the situation and avoiding the topic of his leaving. You will have to talk about it. You will have to have a discussion with him about what about the relationship and where it will stand with his leaving the country.

You will have to be assertive in this situation and leave all the "ifs" and "buts" at home before meeting him for the discussion. It is going to be difficult but you cannot get into the discussion in a negative frame of mind. Things like 'we can work on the relationship but will it work with this long distance?' This implies you have already passed the verdict that it is not going to work so you do not have to put effort into it. Instead you can use sentences like 'it is going to be difficult and we are willing to work on the relationship'. This is a more positive response and your man will also feel positive about the relationship.

It is difficult for you that he will be leaving and you have to be there without him. At a time you will think was it really necessary for him to go. But remember it is the same for him. This is a difficult phase for him too. He also has to cope up with the same situation. So do not be dramatic about the situation and avoid the topic. Make it easier for him to talk to you about the situation. Guy's give up on seeing their girl crying. Hold in those tears, be strong and welcome the conversation.

Now finally when the discussion is done and you are at the verge of a verdict to carry on or to let go, be ready to face either decision. Even if you are not willing to let go and admit that the relationship may have to come to an end, try to control your emotions and follow logic. Do not hold grudges if you are heading for a break up. And if you are agreeing to work on for a long distance relationship just give it your best shot.
