How am i supposed to get thru not seeing my fiance for 10 months?

My fiance and I have been together on and off for 12 years. We're finally close to marriage and seeing the light at the end of this long nasty tunnel. But he needs help. He was abused in his childhood and can't stay here where we live because of triggers and what not. But I have a lease and kids. I can't just leave. He's leaving in 2 weeks to Jacksonville Florida to go live with his mom to get help to better himself for our future. I totally support that even though it hurts. Im just scared of losing him again. We've come so far. But I have obligations here and can't move to Jacksonville until June of next year. How will we survive this? I'll be lucky if I can see him for thanksigiving, his birthday in January and spring break in March.

you said "off and on for 12 years"...think of this as one of the "off" times

@Fernie we aren't breaking up though. That's why it's so hard. All the other off times we broke up. I don't want to break up. We're planning a wedding right now. I know he has to leave to get better but I don't know if I can handle 10 months of texts and facetime.

@JustGettingBy92 I know that...my point is when you were without him in those "off" times you survived...right?

@Fernie yeah I did. It's just hard. I know I'll survive. And I sound like a crazy lovestruck teenager. I just know that he's the one and that I don't want to live without him.

@JustGettingBy92 count your blessings you did find a man you love for all these years. You'll be fine
