can it work?

im going off to uni in september and my boyfriend is a year younger than me and is going next year. we both really want to stay together and i really do love him. we've been together for nearly 6 months and even though its not really that long we have been through so so so much together and he means everything to me, and stays with me through everything. so i cant loose him. but will it work? im a really insecure person and i dont know if i'll be able to do it, or would it be best just to end and be friends? advice please x
Is the university you are going to within a train journey from where you and your boyfriend live?

As you are going uni before him, I would imagine he would be the one with the more insecure feelings than yourself, seeing as it would be you meeting new people, making new friends, that sort of thing. As far as the chance of it working, of course it has! It would change the circumstances of the relationship, for example, it wont be that easy to see each other whenever you feel like it, but it can definitely work. A relationship takes two people to make it work, so as long as you both try, and it's not a one-sided thing, then I am sure it will work! Good luck, Sunny :smile:
