<p>So my boyfriend and I have been together for going on 3 years now (since my freshman year of high school) and I am getting ready to go away to Hampton University while my hometown, Memphis, is over 800 miles away. He gave me a promise ring (meaning I will still be here for you when you get out of college) the night after my graduation. But just the other day he presented the idea that he could simply save up some money over 6months-1year and move up to Virginia do we could be together. He told me that all I have to do is say the words, and hell be there in a heart beat. I Love him with all my heart but I don't want to have him start all over simply for me but I want to be close to him, as Well. So....what do I do?
I think giving him and, in turn, our relationship 2years, he could move up there once I've completed my freshman and sophomore years. Advice is more than welcome. Thanks in advance to all responders !</p>

<p>Not trying to be a Debbie downer here - but I read some study that less than 10% of high school sweethearts end up getting married, and fewer actually stay married. It happens, but not very often. I just advise against him picking up his whole life and moving to a new location for an 18 year old girl, who is just entering college. I read nothing that sounded like a good idea in that post. Just keep in mind whatever you do, that high school relationships rarely work out, and when you’re young and (relatively speaking, just by age, not personally) immature, somethings probably going to go wrong, and he’ll be stuck there, with the rest of his normal life over 800 miles away. I just personally wouldn’t put someone through that at such a young age. Just my $0.02</p>
<p>Thank you for the advice. I read the same statistic but I hope on beating the odds :)</p>
