I went to university a long way from where my boyfriend is. I thought we'd be alright and stay together but he's been distant when he's talking to men and I went to see him and he wasn't the same. Should I let the relationship end or work on it?

You should talk about it with him. That's the first thing, tell him how you feel (about him being distant and not being the same) and ask him what he thinks, and whether he feels the same way.

Keep in mind things like how far away are you from him, how often can you see each other and how long have you two been together. LDR are hard and requires a lot of work, I personally have never been in one (I don't think I could), but have friends who have, some of them have broken up due to distance and some are still together.

It's not easy as some random person on the Internet telling you to broke up or to still be in a relationship, that's up to you (and him.)

this. only the two of you can decide if it is worth it or not

Can't he move together with you?

Either way, it's a lot of mutual work if you're going to try to make it happen. Talk a lot of him about this, and be honest.

talk it over with him. nothing will work if you aren't open about your feelings.

they say distance makes the heart grow fonder, this might be true, but its hell on a person emotionally. if you feel he is being distant then there might be something else going on there. i would make plans to talk with him and see where he is and what he feels about the relationship. thats the best plan, so dont go making any rash decisions until you tow have that talk.

This is a long distance relationship now. I've been in one for 9 months.
It's difficult but there are things you can always do to still be together even if you're far away. It does seem like you should work on it.
