How do I tell them?

I will be starting my new job soon (as a new grad) and I am afraid the subject of "significant other" will come up soon. I am afraid if my new co-workers know about my long time boyfriend who lives 3 hours away, they will automatically assume I am only working there for a year just to get the experience and will leave them. If they assume that I think they will not want to be a "nice" co-worker and will not try to bond with me.

How can I go about without mentioning to anyone about my bf? You know how it is sometimes, the subject is just brought up in conversations, not necessarily interrogating. Do I deny his existence?

Hubby and I live 3 hours apart. We've been doing this for well over two years and plan to do it for the forseeable future.

My co-workers know I'm married (for well over 30 years - lol) but in this day and age with the economy so bad, we just consider it the price we have to pay in order ot have good jobs. `
