He's going away to college. =[
I'm 17 years old, and so is my boyfriend. He'll be 18 in February 08.. and here's what's going on.
sorry if this is kinda long
Well, we've been together for a year and 3 months and we're both crazy about eachother.
Because of what happened with his parents he doesn't want to get married until his late twenties.
He's a senior this year and is leaving to go to college next year. The colleges he's applying for are all at least 3 hours away. Neither of us know what to do. I can't move away with him. So he said I should wait for him, and we'll see eachother a few times throughout the 4 years he's in college.. But school is his number 1 priority, I mean, he's not happy unless he's getting straight A's. And in college he'd be even more busy than he is now, in highschool, right?
I love him so much but I don't think I'm strong enough to wait so long, not knowing if he's began liking someone else, or something like that. I trust that he wouldn't cheat on me, but I can't be sure NOTHING would happen. I mean, it's college! lol.
Please help me.
I love him so much and I'd die without him.

Its probably better for both of you in the long run if you break it off now. Hes missing out on alot if he goes into college with a girlfriend. You're missing out alot if you spend your senior year loving a guy at distance.
And I speak from experience when I say, that distance hardly ever provides anything decent in the way of results.
Odds are, heartbreak now, or heartbreak later.

Hmm...well I'm 18 and in college, and my boyfriend of a year and a half is 16 and in high school, and we're making it work.
Trust is key. My boyfriend trusts me, and I trust him, without that then we would never survive the distance.
In college you get a lot of breaks, such as fall break for a week, thanksgiving break for a week, winter break for nearly a month, a long spring break, and then his freshman year will be over before you know it. It's gonna be really difficult if you decide to stay together [which I really think you should], but the little things can help, like calling every night for hours, writing letters, maybe even driving to visit if you're able to.
Honestly, don't throw away what you have just because he's going away. You might be really surprised at how quickly the time goes, and then once you both are done with college you can be together all the time.
If you two really love each other then it's definitely worth doing everything you can to stay together. You just both need to make the effort.
But for now, don't think about college, you've still got a good amount of months before he goes, just enjoy the time now and think about college when the time comes, good luck and I hope things work out for you.
