Girlfriend and leaving for college?

Question:

My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost a year. We are in love and know our relationship will work if we dont do something stupid. She got a scholarship to a school 8 hours away and her parents want her to go. Its a great school for the field she is going into. She has tried to convince herself to leave and all she does is cry and cry and cant do anything. For about 3 days she was sure she was going to leave, in those 3 days she lost like 5 pounds and cried non-stop. She decided she cant make herself leave. She applied to a good school here where Im going. The education she will get in her field is not quite as good, but she did get a good amount of scholarship money (Almost a full ride). She doesnt want to leave and we both believe that because of the way we are 4 years of seperation would destroy our relationship. We care to much about each other to be away from each other. for that long. I want to make sure that changing your college plans for someone you love isnt rediculou

Answer:
If you really loved her you would want her to go and make something of herself

If it is meant to happen it will

Let her go

it is asking too much of her, and what are you sacrificing? if you really love her make her do what's best for her.

I didn't change my life for my boyfriend. We were together about a year and a half when i left for college in a different city than he is. It's been a year now, and i'm not going to lie it's like the hardest thing i've ever done, but it's really shown strength in our relationship. I love him more now than ever. I am transferring home next year because we plan to start our lives together... but this year has mad eour relationship really special, and it makes me feel super about him. If i would've known what i know now.. i still would've gone away. But, i don't blame her for wanting to change her life goals for you.

if you are this much in love then it would be wrong to separate you two..
but make sure that you do not have any children before you graduate from college..
you two are having relations..(probably) so take extra precautions as life is hard even with a good education..
and be prepared for a lot of flack from her parents..they will not understand everything but they should respect their daughters decision...
good luck..and work hard in college..the harder you work now in education ..the easier you will have it later in life..good luck..

Sorry but changing your plans like this is ridiculous.

Of course her moving away would be the end of the relationship within about a year. However even her staying probably won't save the relationship, the odds are just too great. No one should short change their education this way, it's just plain stupid. Going away to college is one of the greatest life changing things a kid can do. It expands your mind and understanding of life 10 fold over staying at home for college. No one that can should pass up the chance.
