Question Posted Wednesday January 28 2009, 4:21 pm
hi, i'm 18 year old and have been with my current boyfriend since october 2007.
i love him and always have but i'm just getting so stressed lately over college, moving home, he's got a job over 1000 miles away from me, money problems and more, i'm just worried it's going to tear us apart. i keep asking myself if leaving him would make things easier for myself and i no it would, but i don't want to loose him
First off, school should be your first priority. If your boyfriend is keeping you from succeeding at school, even if it is unwillingly, then you have to distance yourself.
Maybe, instead of actually breaking things off, tell him that you need a break to get things sorted out. Make sure that he knows that you still want a relationship eventually, but that you're sticking to your priorities. If he can't respect school as a top priority for you, then he isn't a keeper.

Stop stressing so much about everything, you're only 18. Give yourself sometime to stop and smell the roses. You're only 18 once dear. So, please enjoy it well it's here. :) [ HotSauce's advice column | Ask HotSauce A Question ]
