My Boyfriends going off to college. What should we do?
Does the age difference really affect a relationship? Is there really such a thing as the 'high school sweethearts'? We both love each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together but how should we handle this?
This is a pretty long story, but I'll try to keep it short for our sake :) well I'm 15 and my boyfriend is 17. He's graduating this year and going to college. I'm still going to be in high school as a junior and I might be going to the same college as him in 2 years but we really don't know how to keep this long distance relationship lasting. The university he's going to is actually only 45 minutes away from where we live now. I guess I'd say we're more in the mature level. Its not some fling, we're in a serious relationship .we're madly in love with each other, we really are. We've talked about this numerous times.. we talked about ALL about the future. We both DO want to be together but we both worry about each other. He thinks I'm going to fall in love with another guy because I need to enjoy my high school years and 'explore' (since he's already done with that and knows what he wants, which he says is me and only me) but honestly I think he's going to find another girl in college or get drunk in crazy college partys. I mean really, even if this is a small town, any person that goes to college is more than likely going to fall in love with someone there. He's isn't a party boy, only been drunk once in his life which was last year. One of his friends is a party boy so that gets me a little concerned... I probably sound over protective here huh? We both have been controlling to each other lately. He thinks I'm going to get drunk off my with my friends since they are wild party girls and he's always concerned about other guys liking me or hitting on me. Or if I'm going to get drunk with my friends (I've never been drunk for the fact). I'm actually a pretty innocent good girl, which he knows. I tell him he's over worrying, but he says he just cares too much
Overall I just need some opinions on what you think about the whole college guy and high school girl dating. Is the 2 year age difference bad? Would it be selfish of me to be in a relationship with him when he's out there starting his new life? Or should I just keep going out with him and see how things go from there.. I trust him with all my heart and he's the most sweetest guy I've EVER met. I want to marry this man (I know I'm too young to say this) but just he's perfect in every way. We've been through SO much and we've seen the best and worst of each other. Sometimes we even think we're married by the way we act. I just pray that there could BE a future in our relationship.
Sorry this is so long. THANKS FOR LISTENING :)
