Staying with my HS boyfriend when I go to college


Question Posted Sunday July 18 2010, 8:47 pm

I will be a college freshman this fall and am planning on staying with my high school boyfriend. I love him so much and we are very serious but lately I have been feeling a lot of anxiety about the situation. I'm scared if what will happen to us. I don't know if I can handle the long distance relationship. I'm going to miss him so much and I don't want to miss out on having a great time in college. The thing about us that is different from most college freshman in relationships is that he isn't going to college. He is joining the military so I know he will not be partying or doing anything he shouldn't be doing (Even though I know he never would) Anyway I feel like I need to be with him no matter what...he needs my support as a solider...I know its going to be difficult for him and I don't know how he would go on with out me. Don't get me wrong I don't want to leave him, I love him, I just feel pressure that no matter what happens in college I have to stay with him. I don't know what to do, I am scared. Can anyone share their experiences/ advice on being in college with a boyfriend or having a boyfriend in the military? Thanks, sorry this was long.

You shouldn't feel like you have to stay with him just because he is going into the military. You should stay with him because you love him, period. Yes, its going to be tough as he will be away from you, whether or not you are going to college. You just have to put in the effort that is necessary for your relationship to survive.
Im not sure how often he will get to call and such while he is at basic training, but discuss it with him that way you are there when he calls or you can email or write. My cousins husband is in the military and just came back from afghanistan, him being away and then coming home has made them a lot closer and stronger as a couple. You just have to be sure that it is what you want and then put in the effort that it needs to flourish.
Hope I Helped & Good Luck :)
