Healthy Relationships Support Group

I know exactly what you are going through. When i went to college for the first time I had a long distance relationship. It was just like you only 30 minutes away and at first it seems like forever away when ure used to having your boyfriend right there for every moment. So i understand the stress.

But i will tell you that yeah it is really hard. especially as a freshman...but yeah its gna be difficult to see eachother but really what it comes down to is that if you two are meant to be together then you will be together.

It didnt work out for me, but thats simply because my relationship wasnt strong enough. But i have friends who are 22 now and have been doing the long distnace thing with their significant others for 4 years and are engaged. so it can be done!!

Ultimately...
take it day by day. Dont stress yourself out about what if's. Because you just have to have faith in your relationship, and if you both put in the love and the work that you need then you will have nothing to worry about. I'm here if you need someone to talk more about this.

good luck!

There are plenty of ways to keep in touch with him! ;) I know you'll phone & email him, but don't forget to write him every once in a while, send a card. Send him "care packages" with the special touch only you can give it. Stuff like that... it'll help him remember what's important! ;)

Like Star suggested, Don't Stress! Focus on your own schooling and let the rest take care of it's self.

The above responses I agree with. Don't worry about the what if's. I have seen couples who had to follow their own paths, separately. Some of them continued and got married. Some did not. So I believe if you're meant to be together - you will. Focusing on your education, meeting new people, maybe a new hobby, can be a very enriching time. It also allows growth to happen. Please don't be scared that you won't "do any better", because that is really limiting yourself. You may do "better" and have a really good relationship. Good luck.

Thanks everyone. Though, I don't believe in the whole "meant to be" thing anymore. There's just too many people in this world, and too many people that complain about their partners. But I do believe that if we are strong enough, it can work. All I can say is I hope each of our paths don't steer us away from each other.

30 minutes isn't that far apart. To try to make sure you don't grow apart, travel to where he is to party with him and continue to be part of his life.
