I've been with my boyfriend for 5year now and in September we'll both be going to different universities. I'm worried that this might cause a drift in our relationship. As we grow as adults I'm worried maybe just maybe he might go off with someone else. The reason for my worry is purely that he may be tempted to go off with someone else as we've never had other relationships. He's my first boyfriend and I'm his first girlfriend. My fear is that a girls who his family would approve of may come his way and with one drunken mistake I might be out of the picture.
He may realize that he wants to try being with different girls or just having sex with another person as it's something he hasn't experienced -----also scared that I may no longer be the person that he wants to be with ( he's never said so but I'm scared of change). Cause uni is full of (some) young people that go off with each other for the sake of it or people having drunken one night stands. His family does not approve of me Because of my race. So I already know that no matter what I do or say, I still won't be good enough to them because of my race. I used to think that our future together may be difficult because of this but I realized this wasn't an issue because he's willing (has done) to stand up to his family (they're chinese) if they say bad things about me.
I'm just scared of the change the combination of uni and work might bring to the relationship.
I do absolutely adore him and our relationship and I'm proud of us because we've lasted so long. And he's been such a wonderful and supportive boyfriend. It's just that I worry that if I'm out of sight I'll be out of his mind.
I'm hoping that if there is a change, it would be a good one where it will become apparent to both of us that we want each other for good and I really want this experience to solidify us more as a couple. Which is what I have a suspicion will happen but I'm just nervous about it all.
I think I've used the word worry too many times to tell me that perhaps it's just insecurity of change and no concrete reason for me to worry!! I just used it again..
Is anyone here still with their first love and if so any advice for a stronger relationship is welcome.
