boyfriend going to college


Question Posted Saturday July 16 2005, 4:06 pm

16/female

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 8 months now, but he's been one of my closest friends for about 4 years. I truly am in love with him and I know this because I've never felt this feeling before. I won't get into that, however. He just graduated this year and is going to a college that is about 2 hours away. He promised me he'd be home as much as he can and I know he will, but I don't think I can go that long without him. He went on vacation for about 1 week out of the country and I was so upset. I couldn't stop thinking about him and was never happy during this time period. I think about him leaving all the time and how much I'll miss him. I don't know what I'll do without him..I've never had a boyfriend like him before. Should I try and overcome that feeling or try and find someone else. I really don't know what to do. I will greatly appriciate any other suggestions. Thank you.

If you feel that strongly for the guy why look elsewhere? You will just have to learn to live with him being away at school. You can talk everyday, email and IM. Not the same as seeing each other but it could be worse...computers could be non existent! Keep busy with your school activities and time will fly. And, don't waste any more time stewing about it now..enjoy what time you have before he leaves! :)

If you two are really in love, you'd make arrangements to make things work. Like plan certain days out of the month to see each other so that you can have something to look forward to instead of getting upset.

If arrangements are not possible, I'd say just to stay in contact with each other whether via phone, cell, internet, etc. Talk to each other as often as you can to relieve the heartache of missing each other.

Now, if THAT isn't possible, drop a note in my inbox and I'll try and conjure up another plan :)

Basically, if he goes to college, he'll cheat on you. Overcome that feeling and find someone else. Good luck! Hope I helped!

well i think that if you truely love this guy, you should most DEFFINATLY stay with him. just try remembering all the good times youve had with him, and imagine erasing all those from your memory... long distance relationships are difficult, but if hes willing to continue the relationship that takes guts and its obvious hes fucking CRAZY about you, and if he promises he'll come home as much as possible, then trust him that he will. no question this guy adores you, and theres always school vacations and weekends. just think of all the possibilities, but i think you should stick with him!! hope i helped:)

If you are truely in love with this boy, don't let him out of your life! It's okay to feel sad that he's not there but you'll still get to see him on weekends and school breaks. If I were you I'd try to keep myself busy and try not to think about it(unless it's a positive thought :))
..Hope I helped..

Just overcome the feeling, and stay with him. You have to get used to this feeling anyway.. because when you get married your husband usually goes on buisness trips. Be sure to talk to him everyday or every other day..
