billman1 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I am a freshman in college and my partner is almost a senior in highschool. We love eachother very much and have been together for about a year and a half. To keep it short, there is a possibility that she may move out of state in a year and a half. Even if she does not move, there is a good possibility that she will attend a college that is a decent amount of distance away from where I am living. I love her and I really do want to be with her, but is it worth being in a relationship where you know that your partner will probably move away in less than 2 years? I dont know how I am supposed to stay positive and happy in the relationship when in the back of my head im thinking about the day she has to leave and "us" comes to an end. This thought has been confusing and depressing me lately, what should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savignon Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I am a subscriber to "Tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all". That doesn't mean you'll "lose" her, but you certainly won't know unless you try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyapplle123 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I read your first sentence of your post, "I am a freshman in college and my partner is almost a senior in highschool. We love eachother very much and have been together for about a year and a half. " Now if you both love each other very much and have been together for a year and a half, WHY WOULDN'T IT BE WORTH STAYING IN THE RELATIONSHIP? Yes, distance will be a factor but as long as the two of you work on seeing each other, there is no reason why the relationship would have to come to an end because of this.

BeyazGulum Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Live each day as it comes. Why stop something good prematurely for fear of it falling apart somewhere along the road? That's not to say it even will! Plenty of LDRs are successful - it just requires patience, faith and commitment. Better to try and know than give up (unnecessarily, in my eyes) and be left wondering.

morrowrd Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I don't see the wisdom in breaking up over a "what might be." I'd be thinking about how down the road you might regret the "what if's. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssj5goghan Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Definitely man. If you two love each other, you'll make it work. Marriage is supposed to be forever, and if you two are meant to be, you'll get through this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
