Boyfriend and Uni...

I am due to start Uni in a week or so, and won't even have been with my boyfriend at home for 3 weeks.

Is this stupid? Honest opinions please! I definatly don't want to end it but it seems weird living hours away from someone I've only just got with. We've known each other for around 5 months now.

no, if you want to be with him it isnt stupid.

i got with my GF about a month before uni ended, so its been a looooong summer, even though i have been to see her a couple of times.

one of my housemates is dating a guy at a different uni. they started dating just before they both went to uni, and now they have been dating for almost 2 years, so it can work!

I'd known my boyfriend 1 week before we got together, and now we've been together for about a month before I start uni, and I don't think it's stupid at all, and neither does he, because we're just so right for each other! We're not gonna be living hours away (20 mins :biggrin:

), but it wouldn't be any different if we did really. Because I donn't know about you but I wouldn't break up with someone just because I'm going to uni!

i dont know anyone who was together before uni and then broke up, im really suprised but all of the relationships have lasted
however i know someone who ruined her 1st year by training it to and from her bfs uni every weekend. as a result she hates it there and has really integrated properly and spent £1200 on travel.
if you do plan on going to see ur boyfriend dont do it too much!

Course it ain't stupid, it's refreshing to hear your going to stick by him and make a go of it, it can work, many people i know have survived uni and still be together and actually made them stronger for it.

Just I know everyone says Uni is a chance to start again fresh... I definately don't want to be stuck in my room the whole time missing my boyfriend! Well I'll see how it goes :smile:

Hey.

You definately shouldn't finish it just because your goin to uni, at least give it a shot, otherwise you'll never know! As long as you like him and are happy there's no reason why it wont work... but yah i agree with killerbee dont see him too much! Easier said than done though..best of luck!! :smile:

and what will be will be! xx

So don't sit in your room missing your boyfriend!

As I've said before, it's more likely than not that you won't still be together by graduation (based on a law of averages) but there's no reason to give up before you've started. And not seeing him for 3 weeks might be tough but it'll give you a chance to make your own way at uni and make friends etc, in order to take your mind off missing him.

I'm in a completely different country from my boyfriend and haven't seen him since July. We won't see each other til Christmas now, but that doesn't mean I constantly miss him, I'm far too busy with other things.

We've been together for 2 years now, and before when he was at Uni with me we would often spend long times apart in the holidays as he lived in Leicester and I lived in Plymouth.

So keep yourself occuped and when you do see him it'll be even more special. :biggrin:

My flatmate got together with her boyfriend a month before uni started, they visited each other roughly every 3 weeks and now they've been together a year. There were a few tears, but overall they coped fine!

I met my boyfriend while at uni, and found that to be more difficult as I had to divide my time more. Though he went to Canada for 2months when we'd been together only 2weeks lol

My fiancée is at home in another country... I really miss him, but there is no way we will give up and he will com eover in three weeks to visit.

My boyfriends at Manchester. Been gone a week and its ok. I'm going to visit him in about a month, once he's has chance to make proper friends. Then I guess I'll see him 3 times or so before Christmas. Hey, it's hard, but it might make us stronger. Either way, there's no point not trying and so never knowing.

I'm in Manchester and my boyfriend is back home. We'll see each other next month, and then for a fair old bit at Christmas I imagine. I don't know how long it will last, but it's doing good so far...I have to say I've never been the type to rely wholly on a partner so I can manage without him quite well, I just miss seeing him. :smile:
