I feel the same too.

I told him last night I'd been feeling really sad, and he hasn't texted back since then. I don't think my boyfriend wants me or loves me when I feel low. He always does this.

My boyfriend asked to take a break, and there's another girl trying to get involved...life sucks, but have faith! That's what I have, I believe my boyfriend and I will survive! Be positive

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you agreed that you won't be seeing other people? I'm sure you and your boyfriend will be fine, you sound positive and I hope it stays that way

I am trying, but this has happened many times before when I need someone to talk to. I just want to stop crying really. I hope it will be okay, fingers crossed for the both of us

A break is a pathetic excuse, sounds more like he is using the break excuse so he can persue this other girl

Just had a nice talk with my bf over skype. He was a bit annoyed that I told him I wasn't happy with him not replying to me etc. But we're ok Going to try and make it work ^^

Good luck

Thank you ^^ I feel a lot happier now Hope you're ok xx

Hey
At the beginning of first year, i Hated university.
My boyfriend and I met in school and loved being near each other. We worked better and were a lot happier seeing each other every day at school and going out on dates and sharing friends etc.
So when uni came along, I dreaded it and boy did I HATE it in my first year.
We decided to do the "long distance relationship" (LDR) thing and I'll tell you the honest truth. It hurts. But boy is it worth it.
We made it through with skype chats, surprise visits (i LOVED doing these XD), playing online games with each other etc.

Third year was the easiest year because a) it went so fast ! (doing dissertation etc) and b) i knew that when I finished uni, I could be with him again and not be restricted by 2 hours travelling.

Just remember: University is where you find out what makes you "tick". So make close friends (and its a good idea to make a friend who is also in a LDR [enter the weepy convo's!]), do go out some of the time (but make sure to keep your partner in the loop) and enjoy yourself!

IF you're dreading it, remember, you do have options

My LDR lasted all 3 years whilst at uni!! And I have a degree and the love of my life at the end of it

*sends courage to all uni students in an LDR or embarking on one*


Good luck!!

My girlfriend moved down to uni this morning and I've just had the most depressing day as I've not known what to do with myself now she's gone. I don't move down until this saturday and I've just got off the phone with her during which we both cried numerous times. Reading this has just cheered me up so thank you!
