boyfriend going to college Options

[shannoniwamoto]

My boyfriend and i have been together for a little bit more than half a year and we're one year apart... he's a senior and i'm a junior.. lately i have been worrying about how our relationship's gonna end up being like when he's off to college, we've talked about this before and we both agreed to try to work it out, but we also talked about the "ifs" .. like " if something happens .. " it saddens me.. to know someone who's so great and everything might leave me in .. 6 months i mean there's still like alot of time and i know i probably shouldnt be worryin about this so early, but i've just been thinking alot lately, is this weird? and has this ever happened to anyone before? ... thx

Hey, I've been through that. My girlfriend was a junior and I was a senior and we were worried as well. Now I'm a freshman, done with my first semester, and she's a senior applying to colleges, and guess what? We're still together. I thought it was going to be tough, but it really wasn't. Long distance relationships are mostly based on trust, and communication. You need to trust one another, and make sure you don't break each other's trust. Communication is important as well. Let each other know how your day was, how you feel on this certain subject, etc etc.

Also, it's all about compromises. I don't go out partying or to bars that often because I don't want to do something that might jeopardize my relationship.
