bringing your relationship to college.


Question Posted Saturday December 27 2008, 2:24 pm

i'd like to hear from people who have experience in going away to college while you were in a relationship? what happened? did it work out? my first love and i dated for a year and a half, we were inseperable, then had a BAD break up, were broken up for a year, and just got back together a little over 2 months ago, and everything's perfect again. in the fall, im moving to alabama for college [we're from georgia], and i dont know what to do. he said he is NOT going to lose me again, but i dont know how i feel about trying to maintain a long distance relationship in school. we talked about him moving there with me, but i highly doubt that will happen because he'll be in school here, and i'll more than likely have to live in a dorm my first year. i honestly think breaking up would be best, but i dont want to break up with him. that would hurt us both so much because we love being together. i just dont know what to do, and college is quickly approaching. any experience on this?

i didn't have to experience this, but a couple of my friends have AND the outcome has been good so far:) my best friend has been going out with her boyfriend for two and a half years, and is currently transferring back to where she lives because she was homesick and her boyfriend will be two and a half hours away. she is sad about it, but she knows their strong enough and that they can get thru anything together. my other friend is going out with a senior in high school and she is a freshman in college, and she thinks it helped their relationship. she said they don't fight as much, and that it's good to have space away from each other. it makes the time you have together even better. i know you and your boyfriend will be just fine! it will be hard, but if you love each other enough you can get through anything. best of luck to you two! ♥ LU

it was the summer after my junior year and my boyfriend and i began dating. he was a year ahead of me. so we dated that year and then he left for college and i was still in high school. it was tough. very very tough but i knew it was worth it. i knew he was the one for me and we worked through it. it definitely got easier once i began college with him. we are now engaged and live a happy life together. that year without him was hell and we fought a lot but it was completely worth it because i loved him more than anything.
it is possible as long as both of you are completely committed to making it through. communication is imperative

I've not been in this situation, so I know that my advice is not what your looking for, however, this coming June, I will be in your situation. My boyfriend is leaving for Nashville, Tennessee, and I live in eastern Kentucky. So I'll only get to see him on weekends =[.
I know how you feel, about not wanting to be seperated, and how you both would be devestated, however, I don't see why you all should break up, if your inlove with this boy.
If everythings perfect, then you should atleast give it a chance, when you go to college.
If you don't know how you feel about maintaining a long distance relationship, you should atleast try. I mean, college will be hard, but going to college and losing someone you love, may be even harder.
I don't know what I would do without my snookums. I just hope you make the right decision.
Goodluck.
I know my advice is confusing, mainly because I'm not who your wanting to hear from, but I think you should atleast give it a try.

Best wishes!
AA
