He is going to college and I am so scared I'll lose him

Question - (1 May 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 1 May 2008)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hey everyone, i need some advice, some comfort. I have been with my boyfriend for a year and eight months, he is talking about staying together forever. I am ok with him talking about it, but what bothers me is he is about to go away to college

he is going into his junior year of college and applied to Texas A and M and got accepted, i am really happy he is following his dream, but i am afraid its not going to last. He swears up and down nothing is going to happen but its not for sure.

I have no reason not to trust him but i still have doubts. Any pointers on long distance relationships, on how to handle the anxiety anything?

Thanks a bunch

Hey!

It will be hard, especially at first, but youre lucky that he is going away in his junior year, you only have two years apart, not 4.

If you love him and trust him then things will work. Ive been away at college for 2 years now, 4 hours from my boyfriend, at another college. It has lasted, hes graduating and moving to be here with me next year!

The biggest thing is to communicate every day, by email, phone as much as possible and texting if you have a cell phone!

It can work, especially if you really love eachother!

Good luck honey, message me if you wanna chat any more!

You need to get your trust up if this is going to last. Long distance is possible but it's not nice.

You need to distract yourself if you are the one being left behind as it is hardest for you. Find a new hobby and keep yourself really busy.

Arrange times when he will phone you so you are not sat in by the phone all day and just keep in touch in as many ways as you can. Letters and parcels are fun, email and the internet makes things a lot easier too.

Good Luck!! xx
