Hello everyone. Some background my bf land I have been together for about 6 months. He is practically living with me since the start.

So everything started when i got the offer of doing an Internship abroad, i told him about it bc i was excited and wanted to do it. He on the other hand didn't, he said that he doesn't want a long distance relationship. I explained that it was only for a month and i wasnt completely gone bc i would eventually come back(he knows how does things work bc he as well applied for one some time ago). He didn't want to hear about it and said if i do that he will go to a different country as well. (But like living and working there till he doesn't want to anymore)I tried reasoning with him, that it isnt the same if he goes there and lives there for an amount of time. He said he doesn't care and that is what he will do. I asked him if that means that he would break up with me if i go and he said that he wouldn't break up but would live a long distance relationship bc It doesn't matter then. I asked him if he doesn't want an long distance relationship,why he is doing that. He couldn't really answer that, except saying that it all wouldn't matter anymore then. Now i am here, divided between going or staying with him. Its only a month and i would come back. Should i still go? AITA if i go? I need help, bc i dont wanna break up. Still wanna go, but reasoning with him seems impossible. Does anyone have some advice?

So i didn't expect to get replies so fast 😅 so just for context i am 18(M) and he is 20(M). The main issue is that even if i take the internship i will feel like the A bc he is living with me. If we break up he will be homeless and he doesn't have a job, so he lives rent free with me. If i tell him that i take the internship I don't think he will handle it well bc i will put him in a shit situation. And idk how long it would take for him to even find a job. He doesn't have any family near us he could move to and his pride is too high that he would ask for help.
