Keep girlfriend for college? (student Q)

<p>My Berkeley D began seeing her BF in winter of senior year. She planned to break up in August before she left for school, as he was already in another college which is nearly 1000 miles from her school.</p>

<p>She decided not to break up with him and has had her ups & downs with missing him and making a fun life at Cal when his life already sounds so fun. She has, though, decided to return to Cal next fall and she and BF are still going strong. Like Calmom, I think she is the only one of her clas who is still with the guy when they are at different schools.</p>

<p>My advice would be don't stress it before you need to, if you feel like you want to break up, so be it, but don't do it for artificial reasons....you culd continue to date and have fun at school or you may grow apart and split up. i would, though, recommend you both make a schedule for the first few weeks of school and agree on certain days/times when you will branch out and make other friends and not hang with each other 24/7; make a new group of buddies there, even if you keep your relationship.</p>
