mike Posted October 22, 1999 Share Posted October 22, 1999 i am a freshman in college and my highschool girlfriend and i are only an hour and a half apart, but decided that it would be best to break up. she recently came to visit and sparked old feelings. now i cant stop thinking about her. we both agree that we could easily see marriage in our future, but getting around this problem of distance would be next to impossible. do we stay broken up, or do we give it a try and risk more heartbreak? please help. thank you Link to post Share on other sites
happy girl Posted October 22, 1999 Share Posted October 22, 1999 You are both very young. Being away at school is going to change your outlook on so many things without you even realizing it. Whats wrong with continuing to see eachother once in a while but remaining technically broken up? This will allow you both to explore other options and grow on your own. You are too young to be commiting yourselves to anything other than your education. Don't cut the relationship off completely. Just make school your first priority. Trying to spend alot of time with someone who lives a distance from you would not be doing that. If things were meant to be, spending a couple years apart will only make your relationship stronger in the end. I know it is hard, I can tell you miss her but that is just a trade off for the oppurtunity to better your life through college. I have been going through a similar situation for a few months now and I can tell you it's getting easier. When I see my ex, we both know we only have a limited amount of time to spend together so we try to make the most of it. We don't argue like we used to and we appreciate eachother much more than when we were together. Another bonus is that if I meet a hot guy I don't have to feel guilty about flirting with him. This is becoming much longer than I intended, but my point is take advantage of this time to yourself and don't get back together with her just out of loneliness. Things will get better.
