<p>I am a college student from Taiwan, and I plan to study in US maybe for several months.</p>
<p>I told my bf this, and he said he would be depressed and miss me everyday if I study
abroad.</p>
<p>What can I do? I love him but I also want to learn more.
I told him we can use skybe to talk everyday, but he said he would never let me go abroad.</p>
<p>I really have trouble with my bf and studing. Please give me some advices, thx.</p>
<p>He sounds like a little knowledgable person. If I had a girlfriend and she wanted to study abroad, I would def. let her as it is her desire to experience her own academic image. </p>
<p>Just go. If he keeps doing this, tell him that you’ll never speak to him again because it is important to your college-graduate school resume. Plus, studying abroad can be socially fun as well. :)</p>
<p>Never “let” you?
Like hell would I tolerate my boyfriend telling me what I am and am not “allowed” to do. Going abroad can be a incredibly rewarding experience and it’s selfish of him to want you to miss out on that.</p>
<p>Well, is your boyfriend paying your college tuition? No? sucks for him. Of course you’ll miss each other, but the choice is up to you, not him. </p>
<p>I can’t study abroad and my boyfriend could, so I encouraged him to do so. He’s in Madrid right now (I’m in NY) and I miss him a lot, but we skype several times a week and email/facebook chat everyday. Plus he sends me cute little Spanish touristy trinkets in the mail all the time as “surprises” - he’s so cute :]</p>
<p>^^^lmao!!!</p>
<p>Collegeboss is suppose to have 2 Ls. I wonder why he has three. Hmm…</p>
<p>Do it anyway. If he really loves you, he’ll maintain a long-distance relationship.</p>
<p>yea… im bored.</p>
<p>Easy. Don’t let your boyfriend control/tell you what to do when it comes to your education. He’s being very selfish, in case you haven’t figured that out yet.</p>
<p>you’ll regret it if you don’t go and you later in life break up with your boyfriend. the fact that he is so insistent on your staying says more about him and the type of guy he is(and if i were you i’d be questioning if youeven want to be in a relationship with a guy who is like that).
you weren’t born attached to your boyfriend, and you won’t die attached to him. live for yourself.</p>
<p>Coming from a BF’s perspective I know how he feels, you just need to make sure you show him that you won’t forget about him over there, and when you get over there, actually make sure you don’t forget about him! As long as you don’t cheat on him or do anything crazy you’re golden!</p>
<p>Do not tie yourself down with some guy whose world would collapse if you’re gone for a couple of months. He sounds very dependent, controlling and like he doesn’t have your best interests at heart.</p>
<p>Romances will come and go. Experiences and education stay with you.</p>
<p>I know plenty of college students who have studied abroad while leaving their significant others behind. Their significant others missed them, but were glad that their loved ones had the opportunity for such a fulfilling experience.</p>
<p>Do not ignore your dreams in order to try to make your boyfriend happy. If the love is real, he’d support your dreams, not try to make you give up on them.</p>
<p>I agree with Plattsburgh…He has no right to “let” you do anything. Do what is best for you and your future. If he doesn’t support it, maybe he’s not included in “what’s best for you.”</p>
<p>He can, if you don’t mind my saying, **** the **** right off.</p>
<p>Dump him now, he is weak and insecure. Manipulation of your emotions is desperate and self serving. It is not love to stop someone from studying and improving herself. You are not responsible for his happiness. Very bad boyfriend-get rid of him before he gets too dependent on you. If you permit him to manipulate you and give up your opportunity to study abroad then you are a foolish girl and you will regret your decision. He should be your biggest supporter.</p>
