Should I stay with my boyfriend who's moving 5 hours away for a job

I'm heartbroken at the thought of distance ending our relationship, but I'm stressed now and not sure I can handle months/years of long distance

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had evaluated our relationship's resilience to distance before he got the job offer"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider discussing your concerns and boundaries with your partner before making a life-changing decision"
