will i stay faithfull to my girlfriend at uni?

*Checks Magic 8-ball*

No, I doubt you will. The fact that you have to ask suggests to me that you're not sure and that therefore if temptation puts itself in your way you will jump on it and that'll be that.

all i keep hearing is " theres no way your going to be able to stay away from women when your drunk and your girlfriends is miles away from you"

has anyone been in a long term relationship. then left thier gf/bf to go to university?

what happened?


Totally up to you. Yes, it's possible. I'm at uni - have a boyfriend at home - all's good. We've managed it for a year so far.
Saying this, we only live 2 hours away. I guess it could be different (and difficult) if you're at opposide sides of the country. However, if you're very into her and vice versa, it probably won't.

Some people do stick with there gf/bf and are very happy. Others don't and are equally as happy. It all depends on if you want to or not.

Think about it and you will know if you want to or not then she has to do the same :p:

I was completely faithful to my boyfriend throughout the entire of uni, because I loved him completely.

Then I finished uni, came home, lived with him, and fell for my manager at my work and cheated on my boyfriend.

Moral of the story - nothing to do with distance, its to do with *love* :redface:

exactlt!
but ill probably get it into my head the shes doin exactly the same thing!!

very insecure relationship! you wouldnt think so after 5 years though lol.

5 years is a long time. If something new hits me right in the face at freshers then so be it! ehy! shed never know anyway would she

but ovcourse thats not the point. sorry.

we shall see what happens

I doubt you will if you're having to ask. Fortunately my boyfriend and I are at the same university so it isn't an issue, but I know for a fact that if I had to transfer to another university I would stay 100% faithful to him.

Well nobody is going to force you to cheat. Depends how devoted you are to your girlfriend really. It is perfectly possible to maintain a relationship whilst one person is away. You are the only one who can answer your question as we have no idea what you are like & whether the relationship is worth it.

That's a ****ty attitude to have. The fact that the girl won't find out doesn't make cheating on her right. It's clear from this comment that you aren't interested in devoting the time and energy to your relationship and you want to play the field at uni. Give the girl the respect she deserves and split up with her. You're already drooling over the thought of meeting some hot young girl during Freshers week. Pathetic.

How are we supposed to know?

i stayed faithfull to my girlfriend while i was in my first year, but had severe doubts she did the same. We both started at different universities about an hour apart. She split up with me the summer after uni anyway having cheated on me with a guy she works with.

Moral is: Cheating can happen distance or not university or not. I found that girls didnt jump on me, and any that were interested respected that i said no cause i had a girlfriend.

Talk to your girlfriend, its better to have an open and frank discussion about these things then just go ahead and cheat on her - think about she would feel. U dont think she'd find out, but she will. As a great band once said, you cant hide those lyin eyes!

I've planning on staying faithful to my boyfriend when I go to uni leaving a 4-5 hour journey between us. I wouldn't let myself get into a situation where I would cheat on him. I love him so much so don't plan on throwing it all away just because of being at uni.
