About Melissa Burton (a.k.a Bee) Expertise I have been in plenty of long distance relationships before and I know for a fact that they do take lots of hard work and dedication. I can help with making a relationship strong enough to last even through distance, breaking up long distance, not knowing what to do when things get hard, dealing with heart break, starting to like someone else even though you are in a relationship long distance, etc. If you need advice I`m here to help and if you just need someone to talk to then I`ll be glad to listen.
Experience I have been in long distance relationships before and some have worked and some
have not. I know plenty of people who are in the same type of relationships as these.
Question Hi...
I'm 18 years old, and I have been in a long distance
relationship with a boy who is a few provinces away for 6
months. I'm completely in love with him, and him with me,
and we want to be stay together. My problem is he is going
to college there in the fall, and I plan on taking a year
off to work so I can go to university next year. My Dad
doesn't know about our relationship yet, but he will in July
when my boyfriend comes down to visit. What I want to do is
move there with him, for a year, make money there and then
come back here for university... but I don't think my dad
will like that at all! He is going to say it's stupid to
move in with someone just like that and he won't believe we
love each other. Another thing, I have to move, because my
mom is selling her house and moving in with her boyfriend
who won't let me live there, and i have absolutely no money
due to the recession and no job offers. Should I move there
when my Dad will be mad? When should I tell him this?
Thanks,
Kelly
Answer Hello
First of all you should tell your Dad as soon as possible. Ideally it would be great if you could talk to him about it sometime around now. I think you should talk to your Dad about your options and what he thinks you should do. Honestly I think moving in with your bf for a year is probably a bad idea. Love has nothing to do with you moving in with him or not. Moving in with someone isn't a decision you base on love, but both people need to be emotionally and financially ready to be able to move in with someone. Since you guys rarely see each other, it seems like a bad idea to just do that without having more experience being with him in person. Maybe your dad can help provide you with some support to move up there and maybe find a job. Your dad may also know of other places that would be interested in hiring you. Anyway talk to your dad about your options and discuss it with him. Don't just make a decision without your dad's input. Talk to him first and if you guys cannot think of a better option than go with your original plan. That's all you really can do. Good luck!
