i'm going to college, but my boyfriend is not?
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 7 months, and next fall ill be attending college while he is at home. I feel like him and I are going in different directions with life, and that I'm going to end up finding some different in college, because my boyfriend and I have had our differences. I feel like I'm going to end up breaking up with him then, however its going to be harder considering we'd be dating for a lot longer. Should I break it off now? Or am I in the wrong here?

You have to do what you feel is best for the relationship. If you feel you are on different paths and going in different directions its best to maybe think about a break or brekaing up. Now just because he isn't going to college doesn't mean he doesn't have a plan but it might not be one that you want for yourself. You have to ask yourself do you love him? Do you see a future with him? If you answered 'yes' to both questions then I would try really hard to work it out. If you answered 'no' then you need to mvoe on and find out what you really need or want for your future.

This is entirely your decision... but I was in the same spot as you and here's my story- we dated for a year and he was a year younger than me. I went off to college while he stayed back for senior year in high school. We tried to make it work the first 2 weeks but after those weeks it just went downhill. Eventually we started questioning each other and not trusting each other as much. I went to parties and he was always suspicious of me drinking and being with other guys. I was always suspicious if he was with other girls. Eventually we decided to call it quits (it was a mutual thing) because we just didn't think it could work anymore.
Oh and here's a little statistics for you.. Out of my 8 friends that came to college with a boyfriend, only 1 of them still has that boyfriend. Everyone else broke up already.
soo... take that into consideration that other peoples relationships don't necessarily work long distance or if one is in college and the other is not. However, your relationship could be different depending on the chemistry between you 2. But one of my friends dated this guy for literally 5 years and they broke up after a month in college because it was too difficult for them to handle.
one more thing, if you are already questioning about breaking up with him now.. then it sounds to me like you've already made your mind. If you are truly in love with him, you shouldn't be questioning this.
