i'm 17 and my boyfriend is 19. we've been going out for almost two years now. i really do love him. he graduated last year. he told me multiple times he was going to college but every time kept making up different excuses. i could tell he wasn't serious about it but i always believed him that he would eventually go. a few weeks ago he told me he is not going. i was completely devastated that he basically lied to me for year, although he still says he was planning on going. anyway, i plan on staying with him for a long time. but what bothers me is if our relationship continues for awhile, what job is he going to have? i'm not trying to be greedy or anything, it just scares me. i guess i need stability. i'm not sure what my exact question is, but what would you do if you were me?
Additional info, added Sunday August 17 2008, 8:35 pm: i've already talked to him about it and he knows exactly how i feel. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life? jsmalls19 answered Saturday August 16 2008, 4:05 pm: Be upfront with your boyfriend. Explain how you feel about the entire situation and hopefully he'd understand where your coming from. tell him you love him and want to be with him for awhile. Ask him why he doesn't want to go to college, maybe he has a really good reason why. If he doesn't understand and nothing is changing his mind, work on it but keep in mind your 17 years old, you have your whole life ahead of you, dont let him discourage you from going to college.
