Dear miyoid:

It reads like your boyfriend is very much emotionally attached to you. I hope that he will be able to endure the new situation because your new job would mean a better future for you and for him, right? I mean, is he looking into the future with the hope that your new job and move to another country may mean a better future for him?

I understand him being “sad for himself”, but if he has a new motivation (to have a better life with you in a few years), his sadness will be mixed with hope and excitement, and that hope and excitement may carry him through the sadness of not having you around as much as he has you now.
