writes:Hey everyone,I would really appreciate any advice here especially from people in the same situation. At the moment, I have been with my boyfriend for just over a year and in September we will be going out of London to other cities for university. However, it isn't as simple as we will only be a short train ride away, I am going towards the north of England, and he wants to go to Southampton.I worked out if we were to see eachother what we'd have to do, and the train is so complicated you have to go to London then change lines twice through the underground and then get on another train down South. Altogether probably a 5 or 6 hour journey.Whenever I try and talk about it I get sad and he tries to change the subject.Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did it pan out in the end? I don't know how I would deal with long distance like that, I hate not seeing him for a week.Thanks for the help

 Well, yes, it IS going to be very difficult. You have to bear in mind, however, that you both have chosen the universities you'll be attending, and perhaps there were no available choices closer to each other.....
Unless you CAN still change your mind and choose a college not so far from his - IF that's even possible, and IF you think it would be worth the sacrifice - or unless HE can change, that might be one option.
Otherwise, you'll have to settle for not seeing one another so often. Perhaps you could install Skype on your laptops so you can see and talk to one another live. Then meet in person at half-term and holidays, or long weekends....
