We are now in our 20's and i feel as though he would be perfect to spend the rest of my life with but at this time in our lives, its sort of hard to be together so seriously. He and i are both busy with school and he is very into sports. We don't want to miss out on any experiences in our young adult life and hold each other back, but we also what to stay together and remain as close as possible. Also sometimes i get scared that i will regret never having experienced other people. I don't want to break up with him i just get the feeling that i wish we met later in life sort of thing. Is anyone in a similar situation or can someone offer any advice on how to get through this? Reply to this Question Share |

I feel that right now with university and his sports, theres more importance placed on that than our relationship. (obviosly education is important for our future together). But with his sports, its like hes in his prime to play and i feel i sort of take a back seat to that. I understand that this is the age where you will be playing competative sports liek this but althoug i understand, it sort of takes a toll on our relationship. Theres factors getting in the way of "us" just being "us" and i know it can work itself out in the end, its just hard fro the time being.

I think that if things are going great with you guys you'll regret it more if you break up. It's a grass is greener situation. Yeah dating can have it's ups, like a giddyness sort of thing, it's exciting, but it can also have its downs. Bad dates, new guys who are jerks, bad kissers, etc... And lets not forget the possibility you could be broken up with for weird reasons by them. Plus you have the perk of neither of you ever having to compare yourselves to exes. If you're feeling bad, try investing some more time with friends and such. But if you have something great with someone great, I wouldn't throw it away just to go have some awkward and bad dates.
