Confused

I'm in a long distance relationship my boyfriend is a great person and we love each other very much. We have broken up about 6 times before because we live too from each other but every time we break up we always seem to find our selves back together but I really want to end the relationship because its really difficult being in a long distance relationship but I don't want to i'm scared and confused...

It seems to be too much of a strain on you guys, breaking up so many times. So much that enjoying the relationship seems a struggle more then it should. Maybe having a good friendship rather then a relationship would work better
