Reading this thread has made me feel better and worse. My boyfriend and I are going to uni this year having currently been together 7 months (we'll actually miss our anniversary because we'll be starting uni) and I've been without him before: he went on holiday to Australia for a month this past Christmas and that was tough. I mean, the last week I went crazy because we just argued all week because we missed each other but talking on instant message had meant he'd felt it had detracted from his holiday and it just wasn't nice. But when he got back we were fine.

I'm just worried about the general things, I'm totally in love with him and this relationship is everything I've ever wanted which is why I don't want to become paranoid because I don't want it to go. My point is, can anyone tell me of relationships 5 hour train journeys apart that have lasted? We agreed to meet at home but he still seems a bit funny about meeting once a month, which is out of character for him. Everything else with us is normal :smile:

I know this is years ago but I was wondering how this worked out for you? As me and my boyfriend will also be 5 hours apart from each other

In my opinion talking about past events that my good mates were in; they came to uni in relationships, one had their girl back at home and the other was at a different university. I'm single so I was annoyed at this decision but they BOTH decided they wasn't coming out for freshers because they valued their relationship more than a few noghtbs out! That's is respectable but then why waste your first week just for your girlfriend ? Maybe that's why I'm single but if you really do respect your girlwnd and value your relationship so much then I would agree don't risk it and go to freshers just stay at home that week with your girlfriend making sure she knows you love her. Because still to this day ( 1 year on ) both my friends are still with their partners! And a big part of that would of been not going to freshers week. If you can prove that to her then you will have a great deal of a relationship going further on!!
