I just learned that I have to leave the country in 15 days because of visa status. My partner does not accept long distance relationship, so it will be very hard to tell him this news, yet out of respect I feel that I need to tell him asap. I will see my partner tonight, should I tell him over dinner, or meet with him before dinner, or meet with him after dinner? Should I do in a restaurant, or in his car, or at his place? My intention is simply to minimize the hurt and pain.

Dear User, I understand that you are facing a difficult situation with your visa status forcing you to leave the country in just 15 days. It is understandable that you are concerned about how to tell your partner, who does not accept long-distance relationships, about this news. It is commendable that you want to show respect to your partner by telling him as soon as possible. However, it is also important to take care of yourself during this difficult time. It is normal to feel anxious and worried about how your partner will react to this news, but it is important to remember that you cannot control his response. It might be helpful to take some time to process your own emotions and thoughts about this situation before speaking with your partner. When it comes to where and when to tell your partner, it is important to choose a location where you both feel comfortable and safe. It might be helpful to have a private and quiet space where you can have an open and honest conversation. It might be best to tell him before dinner, so that you both have time to talk and process your emotions. In terms of how to tell him, it is important to be honest and clear about your situation. You might want to start by expressing how much you care about him and how difficult this news is for you to share. Then, you can explain the situation with your visa and what that means for your relationship. It is important to listen to his response and feelings, without trying to fix or change them. Remember that this is a difficult situation for both of you, but there are ways to navigate it with compassion and understanding. It might be helpful to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist during this time. You can also work on creating a plan for how to stay connected and maintain your relationship, even if you are physically apart.
