Moving away....

[GrantThomas]

Hi,


Im 18 year old senior in high school with 9 days left till graduation. On July 8th I move to Chicago for college, right now I live in Columbus Ohio. Its about a 6 hour drive.

Heres my deal:

For the last year and a half I have been with another Christain girl, we grew very close and have strong plans for our future together. We feel that we are one for God and hope pruity in our relationship only under Him. So natural there are no sexual struggles, intamacy, but nothing too fare then holding each other/what not. But now we have come to the point where we need to face my leaving. I for one dont feel its an issue to stay together and have a long distance relationship, I Love this woman and Im not about to give her up just over school, I wont even been gone two years. On the other hand she has stated that she "feels her drifting from me." A simple fact that she is just sad that I am leaving, but does want to stay together.

Now my question:

Anyone here in the Younge adult range have a big move and have to deal with something like this?

I have to note I will be living by myself, so I plan on staying busy with working to do my best to not be alone all the time.

Sort-of running out of time before I have to be at work, so ill end short and post later with some more detailed stuff.

Thanks guys!

I live across the country from my fiance' (I'm in Pa, she's in Ca). It's difficult but it depends on how strong your love is for each other, whether it truly is unconditional, as to whether it works out or not. The best you can do is feel blessed enough that you live only 6 hours away and try to come back every weekend and on breaks. She has to understand as well as you do that if it is to work out, that you need to be able to support her. So in essence, you're going to college is for her well being as well as your own. You can love but love won't pay the bills.

Do what you can though, get cellphones with free nights/weekends, talk online, get some webcams, etc. Communication is the key. Good luck, mate.

Prepare yourself for a breakup - that is usually what happens (but then again it might not for you).

Right so......

Im going to go against the cliche and trust MY OWN relationship and not what usually happens.

i think long distances relationships are tricky but can work..ultimatly, if she is the one for you, and you both go on living your lives with God as your number one..then God will carry you through and bring you together!
