I am about to start my sophomore (and final) year at a local community college and he's starting his freshman year at a university 6.5 hours away.We told each other that if we can make it through this one school year separated, then we are meant to be. You see, I'm transferring to his university after I graduate from my first college. Anyway, we trust each other like nothing else but I still sometimes wonder if one of us might...wander...?I am so in love with my boyfriend and I most definitely see us getting married and doing the whole shabang with him. But I'm also realistically-minded enough to know that with this year will come some challenges. Challenges he and I are willing to get through together; even if we are 6.5 hours away from each other.I'm just not really sure how to deal with this feeling. A feeling that terrifies me.

reader, anonymous, writes (12 August 2009): The feeling is normal. Take problems as they come and keep up good communication with him. Make sure you both are completely honest with each other, and if, in the year, either of you feels like you might wander, talk about it. Talking about it will most likely make you see if he really is worth living your whole life with. If either of you feels like a breakup is in order, then move on with your life. Don't dwell on it and know that there are people out there for the two of you even if you aren't right for each other. I know older couples that have survived through problems like this, and I hope you two can get through it two. From how you speak of your relationship, though, the future looks bright.
Good luck. =]
