<human>: Ok so here's the situation: My girlfriend and I have been dating for around 8 years... We've dated all through HS and College.  Both of us are getting ready to move into the work world. I'm still looking for a job and she's got two offers. One in NY and the other is way down south...

I love this girl but as much as I want her to stay close to me in NY (where I'll likely work) I want her to do what's best for her and makes her happiest.

For her industry it would be best for her to work in NY.  There's no question but she likes the company in Florida... The culture is more laid back and well it's Florida... cheaper living, good weather and whatnot.

The company in NY is way more recognized and would look great on a resume.  The job pays more (mostly because of living expenses in NY so everything is relative) and the culture at the company is a bit more corporate.  She's already interned at the company and had a good time working there. 

Now she's asking me if we think we could do the long distance thing and to be honest I really don't know. We've never tried this kind of thing before... It's not like we're talking NYC and Boston here... We're talking about taking flights in order to see each other.

Taking my heart out of things I think it would honestly be better for her to work in NY than in Florida... For her industry NY is the undisputed place to be. If she wanted to go from NY to Florida it would probably be much easier than the other way around.

I would try to make the long distance thing work but I'll be honest it's already been difficult to be with one girl throughout HS and college.  I love this girl and when I'm with her I couldn't be happier but being away from eachother for what will probably be at least 2 years will be really difficult and I honestly don't know that I could do it.

How should I be handling this?

<bot>: Girlfriend and I have been together for 8 years we're graduating from college soon.  She's considering moving to Florida to work and I don't know if I could handle the distance (with me being in NY).
