Fairytale or a cruel dream....?

Well, it's like this.... A few months ago I met this guy & then started dating. Little did I know he is my absolute Prince Charming, the perfect man for me, my better half... We have a great relationship, so comfortable & natural w/ eachother & our ways, so compatable w/everything we eat, like to do, how we think & view things.... I know Im in LoVe w/ him & he tells me he LoVes me as well, so whats the problem.... The problem factor is that he's here in California working.... He actually lives in South Carolina.... and eventually w/ have to pack up & head back home. He has his kids most of them grown except for his 8yr old daughter in which he's a single father to. Im so in LoVe & Happy but at the same time it feels like there's a ticking time bomb that's gonna eventually gonna explode & go off (that would be the day he has to leave & go back home ) I literally get sick to my stomch when I think about it... It makes me moody & emotionally unstable at times. Earlier in the relationship I guess I picked a fight you might say & then said I was done over something stupid, but it was because I was & still am scared & dont want to have to go through the heartache of feeling he's "poof"gone from my life. He says he's going to come back & visit me & aren't I gonna go there to S.C. to visit him.... Of course I say & I truly would, it's nust sometimes easier said than done. He was just made aware by his boss that he will be staying longer. Of course I dont want him to leave but it also makes it more intense & difficult emotionally the longer he's here. Im trying to put in my head "it is what it is...." but my heart & soul want this relationship to continue & move forward.... So, what do you think.... Am I setting myself up for a major "heartbreak"...wishful thinking....? Should I keep all my eggs in his basket & take the emotional risk I dont believe I could survive ? HELP !!!

dang that's pretty awful. I like a guy that lives pretty far from me too,and it sucks,i don't know why someone who seems so perfect comes into your life like this. What I would do if I were you is consider moving to South Carolina. If he and you both feel strongly about each other this would be the best solution. If you cant move for some reason, see if he'd consider moving to California with you. If neither of you can move then I would say you need to move on, stay friends if you want, but I wouldn't keep a relationship going if it isn't going anywhere..hope I helped ya
