Can a guy stay faithful while at college?

<p>Debbym, I understand your worries, I’ve been there, but there is nothing you can do. My D was in a relationship for almost three years (she is now senior in HS) with a guy three years older than her (very cute but with an strange personality), and by the time he got into college a thousand miles away, I thought that he would cheat on her, and that didn’t happen. My D was always more mature than him, and after a few demanding fights he started, she broke up with him. She still loves this guy and she doesn’t even think in another relationship, but she couldn’t resist anymore the pressure he was putting in her following advices from his peers at college. I don’t think he had another companion after the break up; they are without knowing it faithful to each other, and I’m praying that they never get back together to repeat this sad story again.</p>

<p>I'm going to go against the testosterone-fueled manliness of the last few posts and say that it's very much possible. In fact, I'm living proof.</p>

<p>I've been in a relationship with my girlfriend for seven years. I've remained faithful during two stints abroad as well.</p>

<p>If they're truly devoted to one another, then they'll manage. If not, they won't. It's fatalistic, but that's how it works.</p>

<p>Odd that no one has suggested the following;</p>

<p>What about debbym's daughter cheating on her boyfriend now that they're apart?</p>

<p>Not likley, as she at this point only has eyes for him. It's not in her personality. Not only that he basically through family, town, cell and computer would know instantly.</p>

<p>Sure.... you're a very reliable and unbiased source. The boyfriend's mother would probably say the same thing about her child. </p>

<p>The point is this; you being worried about the relationship doesn't accomplish anything. It certainly won't change matters, either in terms of your daughter, or her boyfriend cheating. </p>

<p>All you're doing is creating unnecessary anxiety for yourself.</p>

<p>It definitly depends on individuals. I think it is possible for a guy to remain faithful while in college although I won't deny, I am rather skeptical of such possibilities.<br>
Nonetheless, I think if they have something working and realize all the problems that come with a relationship like that then they can definitly make it work.<br>
All the same, there's no guarantees. Maybe you should just let it be. Besides, even if she was in a relationship with someone who was with her or something, there's just as much of a chance that it wouldn't work.</p>
