TITLE: [19/M] just talked to my girlfriend (20) about the fact that we would not be able to see each other for a year and a half come December.
POST: We are both in college, and have been dating for about a month and  half, and she is a year a head of me in school. She is planning on going abroad next semester, and I was looking at taking all of next year to go abroad, not just one semester. so realistically by the time I get back she will have graduated and left the area. I had just brought that up to talk to her because it needed to happen and then she broke down, I didn't know what to say, and still don't. I haven't talked to her since last night but I'm going to get her flowers now. Can we still have a good relationship for the last few months, and is there anything I can do to make it better?
TL;DR: 
My girlfriend and I may never see each other again when the semester ends, can we still make this work and if so, how?
