Uni Relationships
What are everyones experiences of relationships at university? good? bad?
Have you been cheated on/been tempted to cheat because of the uni environment? are you glad to be in one, or wishing you wernt?
on the other hand are you single at uni and loving it? experimenting? do you wish you were with someone at uni? do you think it effects your studies either way?
Any other comments would be great!

Not ANOTHER uni relationship thread.....
ive said it before and I'll say it again. Relationships with love and trust may well survive. those without may well not. but its different for every person, you cant plan your life out you just have to go with the flow.

Met my bf at uni and have been with him for 9 months now. Seeing him tomorrow for the first time since July! Can't wait!
And yesh I'm glad I'm in a relationship. But since the hols I've noticed the brilliance of being single too

4 relationships in first year.
first one, ended amiably.
second one, messed me around.
3rd one, i finished it cos she was a little weird. and i think she fancied some1 else.
4th one, still going.
not been tempted to cheat, and glad im in one.
it effected my studies towards the end of 2nd and 3rd one. stopped me sleeping properly which resulted in my concentration going down etc.

I didnt expect to meet anyone that I would become really close to, didnt particularly want a relationship either, but i did and it happened. i like being single, but after meeting this person at uni, it doesnt bother me not being single...so i dont really mind...i guess whatever happens, happens...i go with the flow man!!

I met my first "proper" boyfriend during Freshers' Week, and it lasted two months :P Still, it ended really amicably, he's one of my best mates, one of this year's housemates (along with my current boyfriend... heh) and going out with a good friend of mine from back home. My current boyfriend was a friend beforehand, and we started going out in February.
You mentioned studies, well, he and I both have the same perspective on studying - we get slightly obsessive when it comes to deadlines, and we're pretty hard workers, so we bitch to each other/motivate each other/know when to leave each other alone to get things done. But when I'm really panicking about something, he's around to get my feet back on the ground, so to speak. So really it hasn't posed a problem at all. In fact, I'm far happier with him, in general of course, but also re: studies.
Cheating - no, I'd never cheat on him.
Am I happy to be in a relationship, hell yes. I spent far too long being single before uni. There've been downs as well as ups this past year, and I'm really grateful to all my friends for being there, but he'll make me hot chocolate in the middle of the night and worry about me and stand up for me, and.. yeah. I'm going to stop being mushy.

I suppose Im a bit disappointed with uni in terms of relationships. I was single when I got to uni and looking forwards to meeting new people, I met a girl in Freshers Week who I went out with through the first semester, then was single again for the rest of first year. Met another girl at the start of 2nd year and went out with her till some time in November, and was single again for the rest of 2nd year. One thing I'd say is it's easy to go with expectations that you're bound to meet someone in an environment such as uni, but there are no guarantees about anything. Some people do, and some people don't. I have a lot of friends who have been single throughout there time at uni and it really bothers some because you seem to be surrounded by people who are in relationships.
But at the end of the day there's a lot more to uni than relationships and looking at things objectively now, the length of time I have been single has meant I've had more time to do other things, I've got fit, I've worked hard and done well in my exams last year, and I'm financially making ends meet. None of those three things would have happened if I'd had a girlfriend through uni.
There was a time when I felt a bit down about being single but I seem to have got past that now, and out of the people who I've known who've had relationships at uni, it has affected other things.

Because it's September so it's fresh whether it's talked about once or a million times, it will be preying on a lot of peoples minds at the moment.

i am really worried that i will be tempted or that my boyfriend will wen i go to uni as he is away but we have told each other that if we meet anyone else we will just tell each other 
lol dont know why thats a sad thing but you always know yourself and i know i wouldnt cheat and if i did meet somone else i would tell him, hard as it would be, whereas i know he has cheated before, not on me, but he has cheated so i am still nervous!

I see this comment too much and it annoys me. "OMFG!11 Search!" What's wrong with wanting a fresh perspective, especially on a topic such as this? It's not like there are threads clogging up the board asking the same thing time and time again. It's good to reignite discussions, times change.
Ditto. Also there are new people on TSR everyday! Just because some people have been here forever they get annoyed when then see past topics pop up. Let the new people give their opinions too.

It's like the social elite sometimes on here, isn't it. This is a message board, for discussion not a dedicated information archive.
I think it'd be good to have a relationship at uni...last year was mostly flings for me, I knew I wouldn't be living in London after I left so I had to prevent anything from going anywhere.
Leeds however (a week on Sunday) , now that's going to change

When i arrived at uni i was in a relationship with someone back home, that ended messily around christmas. I found someone else pretty soon after and had a messy first few months after not giving myself enough time to get over my ex, but my new guy was so understanding and so helpful and gave me as much time to myself as i need but was always there if i wanted him.The relationship we have now is so strong and we can't imagine being without one another, real true love story.
The only two couples i know at uni are me and my boyf and a couple of friends. My friends are getting married this summer and me and my boyf are hoping to after graduation.
