beautifulsekhmet Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Ok, here's my situation.I have technically been with my bf for two years, we're pretty happy together and serious.I'm finally going 'away' to school(been trying for about 3 years now) which is about 3 hours away for about 2 years although i will still 'visit' my hometown since i give piano lessons there so i'd be in town for 2-3 times a month.My bf has told me many times that even if we do break up (gag:p) he'd still have me in his life which is awesome! since i had a very bad experience with my ex.Anyways, so i guess my question is how can i go about or handle our relationship while i'm away at school? both of us have figured out that calling would work since he never emails(and doesn't check them either lol, he's never online to chat and refuses to get an online account ie. myspace) he's no real hurry to go off to school either, he's more interested currently in just working which i do support him in.Any suggestions or other interesting ideas? oh and we've been trying to be together as much as we can before i leave in the next 2 weeks or so. Are there any other plans of what i can do with/for him before i head on out? i'd like to do something special for him since he's my best friend and has done alot for me:) i'm a little low on cash but any ideas would be great! thanks!!
clairebear Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 text, phone, email, visit when you can - no biggie, and don't make it one!!!!! that's my best advice to you - you're about to embark on the most exciting time of your life, so enjoy it and don't sweat the small stuff!! if it is meant to be, between you and your b'f, this will be a walk in the park!!! just have fun!!!! :)
MeloraB Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 If you're gonna be able to see your bf 2-3 a month, then count yourself lucky. Many people on here don't see their SO for months and sometimes years at a time. Just have fun in school and keep in touch with your bf and you'll see that everything will be ok . When my boyfriend was away, we would only keep in touch via the phone. He would never check his emails and we got to chat on msn maybe 2 or 3 times in a period of six months. We did use skype a lot but only in the beginning. You'll be fine!!
jonesec Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 From personal experience, don't spend all your time trying to talk to him. Granted once a day is fine, but if consume your life with trying to talk to him as mush as possible it will A) Seem harder than it should and B) Take away from your school experience. My first year I was worried about talking to my guy and making sure I was always free when he was, but then I realized that I was never leaving my dorm. It was no big deal at all to step out for a night or whatever, he understood. And it just made our next call much more interesting because we had to catch up. Also, don't rely on just calls to keep in touch. Sending little packages and cards always get the message across, and they don't have to be expensive at all, just fill it with inside jokes and personal messages. You'll be fine.

Author beautifulsekhmet Posted June 23, 2008 Author Posted June 23, 2008 thank you for the responses and interesting ideas! i'm not worrying or being all like, oh my god, if i don't see him in like a month i just know we'll break up.Naw, i just wanted some input from others who can give me some ideas of what i can do that's special and whatnot.Thank you again! i like the idea of sending little joke cards or something in the mail to him, i'm certain he'll like them and about a month or 2 will pass then he'll throw them away lol which is sad but maybe i can also write him little letters since who writes letters anymore? lol
