Me-16/f
Him-17/m
Neither of us has had a job before and since it's the summer, we've been constantly talking and hanging out and it's been great. I really love talking to him even if we're just texting...like, I don't even know what to do if I'm not talking to him...The thing is, he wants to get a summer job to make some money and stuff but I'm not sure...I mean it's only part time so we'll still get to hang out and stuff but...idk I guess I'm just really selfish and just want to talk to him all the time like we do right now >.< I want to be really supportive but how am I supposed to support something if I feel this way about it? :( Please help me be more supportive...maybe just tell me if your significant other getting a job affected the relationship too drastically? I really want to be a good girlfriend and be supportive because I know I would want that if I was looking for a job...thanks for any advice!

I'm not the type to just tell people what they want to hear. Don't take offense to this, but you seem to be looking for that type of answer.
My boyfriend is older, and I'm in the same type of situation you are. It's okay to feel a little jealous about it, but life goes on.. He has to make a living sooner than you do, and that's the way it is. He's doing what is good for him, and you should, by every means support that. Even if you don't want to, you should atleast try.
It sucks. Royally. I know, girl.
Jobs are a few hours you have away from him, and I bet you'll be just fine.
People have to go away for you to miss them, and maybe that's a good thing.
I'm not sure if he likes it or not, but wanting to see him every day can come off overbearing and demanding.
I think it would be in your, and your relationship's best interest to support him no matter what.. Look at the big picture, and see that he's living his life, and doing what he has to do.
It's not like he's leaving for war or anything drastic.
Cheer up. You're in a good relationship, and your boyfriend is man enough to get a job.
You love him, so support his decisions to LIVE.

Not sure how I'm "looking for an answer that I want to hear" considering I admitted I was wrong to feel like that in the question...many times :/
