advice
Well I've been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. We're both 17, I'm a junior and he's a senior which means he'll be graduating this year. We're really close and madly in love. I'm just really afraid of what will happen when he goes away to college. All the colleges he has applied to are somewhat close to here besides one. I watch movies and shows and see couples break up all the time with the whole college situation. I was wondering what other people thought about my situation. I love him so much, and we're both willing to try and make it work. I'm just really scared, it's crazy what love can do to you. So I was wondering if anyone could suggest anything..thanks a bunch
i was in a similar situation to yours last year. my bf and i were together for 2 years, and we were both going off to college. i went half way across the country, and he went an hour away from home. i was scared too, because i didn't want to lose him, but we both knew that some things had to change. i've heard stories of all kind-people that stayed together long distance, or people that broke up, and it all depends on the kind of relationship the couple has. my bf and i decided to do sort of an open relationship, so we're free to hook up with other people at school, but when we get back home we're still together. we both love each other very much, and so far it's worked out. it's really hard, especially if you are the jealous type, but its just something that you have to learn to accept. we didn't want to stay together because it would be way too hard for us, and we didn't want to feel like we were taking away from the "college life" that we are supposed to have, but we didn't want to break up either, cause that would be too hard too. so basically we put our relationship on hold while were in school, and when were home we're together. i hope this helped, but remember, do whatever feels right for you too, not what other people tell u, because what worked for one, may not work for you. good luck, and be strong-if it was meant to work out, it will.
