Expert: Sandi Date: 11/3/2007 Subject: Do i stay with him?
Question Dear Sandi, I'm 17 and i will be leaving to college in Fall of 08. My main question is, when i go to college, should i try and stay with my boyfriend or do i break things off with him?
He is 16 and i am 17. He is a sophomore in high school and i am a senior in high school. Him and i have been dating for over a year now. I have known him for more then 7 years, I have grown up with him practically. His family and my family are very close. We even go to the same school, church, hang with the same crowd, and live down the street from each other. I see him every day!
Being his girlfriend is like being in a dream. He is amazing!
My parents say that when i leave for college (5 hours away) that i should break up with him 1)so i can meet new people and 2) to concentrate on my studies. But I cant imagine doing that. He thinks that if i break up with him when i go to college that i will just find other guys and forget all about him. He says that he would wait a lifetime to be able to stay with me. I am his first gf and he is my fist bf. This guy is my best friend, what do i do? How would i tell him that i will need to break things off with him? And if i do need to break it off... do i do it right before i leave for college? I'm so confused!
Answer i think you both need to have a heart to heart conversation and be totally open and honest with each other. long distance relationships can be hard. i think its ok to give it a try and see what happends. if it looks like there are other guys you might want to date then i think you should do that. he is your first love and unfortunantly that doesnt always work out. you moght regret not dating other guys later in life.
