Just wanted to add to what the others have already said...
You did the right thing in talking to him! Your relationship, while not baby fresh, is still quite young, and keeping the line of communication open are important, especially in a long distance relationship! I know the feelings of dread and apprehension that come with a possibly devastating reply waiting to be read.... Take courage, in the long run knowing is better than not. And we're here to talk whatever the outcome!
Best wishes,
Ro
