Yes. And based upon my experience, I can confidently recommend you end it. Don't try to salvage it. Don't try some misguided attempt at maintaining a long-term, long-distance thing. 5 months is nothing, and certainly no reason to restrict yourself from exploring new things at university.
enjoy the time that's left, but don't try to maintain it after you've both moved. stay friends if you want. once you're living at your college, try to go out and be social, make lots of new friends, 'cause if you stay inside a lot, you'll be left thinking about her.
Whatever you do, don't try to keep a relationship. If I were you, I'd get as much you can, I'm sure you'll forget all about "it" once you're surrounded by new women in college.Harkat95We werent planning to keep going during University, but we'll probably meet up after we graduate or something. Im talking about now. Should we end it now or at the last minute (when we finally move)?

Mountain Dew and Space Balls are seriously not helping. But I appreciate the fact that you're ummm...trying...to.... What are you doing exactly?Seriously, it sounds just like she wants to break up with you but not till she's gone (like you said). I would try to change her mind all together or just break it off now. Not worth the effort of staying together if you know you aren't going to be together soon anyway.
I say have as much sex as possible. I'm talking about a looottt of sex.MgamerBDIm already doing that mate ;)
Just like my high school teacher said, end your relationship before going to college. There will be limitless opportunities to meet women in college, with parties and the like.AdamPA1006That is absurd. You don't just break up with someone you love because you may meet someone else...
That is absurd. You don't just break up with someone you love because you may meet someone else... Have you been through college? I just finished my sophomore year. Everyone ends of cheating anyway and this is no good either.[QUOTE="AdamPA1006"]Just like my high school teacher said, end your relationship before going to college.

Okay, so here's the deal. My gf and I have been going steady for almost 5 months now, and in a months and a halfs time, we'll both be moving away to go to university in different countries. She's mentioned maybe 'slowing it down' in the past, with the idea being that by the time we say our final goodbyes we'll just be friends. This may sound like she wants to end it and she's looking for an excuse, but we're really just confused. I mean, the idea of just having her one day and not even seeing her the next is bad enough. So OT, what do you think we should do? End it gradually or enjoy the amount of time we have together as best as we can. Also, anyone with any past experience?BrightonPierMake the best of the time you have, your both going to meet new people while your apart. Try and be friends but don't hold on, you will get hurt.
Why does everyone assume that when you go to college, you're gonna end up cheating on someone? :?
Quick tip: don't hang out with sluts.
I don't get it either. I understand some people just go to college to party but that really is the minority. To say you can't have a GF or BF while in college is just flat out dumb.Why does everyone assume that when you go to college, you're gonna end up cheating on someone? :?

My 2 roommates cheated on their girls. I did once. Its hard not too going out and drinking and living it up freshman year. I met my current gf in college (like i said just finished sophomore year) so hopefully I wont end up cheating on her. But I saw a ton of it and it definitely happens a lot.Why does everyone assume that when you go to college, you're gonna end up cheating on someone? :?

No it's really not hard for anyone with any will power. If you're cheating on your GF in college, that isn't going to change once you get out. There are girls everywhere, not just in school.Why does everyone assume that when you go to college, you're gonna end up cheating on someone? :?

Wow no I dont. The temptations are out there and you have to decide for yourself if there are worth abstaining for a girl who is probably doing the same thing and cheating also. Bro drinking is fun and all but kinda the whole point of partying in college is getting drunk and getting chicks. But im just going by what I am seeing at my university.....[QUOTE="no_more_fayth"][QUOTE="AdamPA1006"] My 2 roommates cheated on their girls. I did once.

Most people think that, usually it turns out no to be true however.

nah i have left some pissed off girls in my time, if they had they would have loved to tell me about it, shocked none have even tried to lie about it just to hurt me.That sounds weird and painful. I'd go with this advice:

I met my husband like a month before graduating from high school. We were going to go to different schools in the fall and I kind of figured we'd break up somewhere along the line, but to plan a breakup just seems kind of silly. Get in a fight, decide long-distance isn't working after growing apart, whatever, that's how relationships work.
Anyways long-distance was hard. Really hard. But in the end we knew we could trust each other and we ended up working out. I'm not saying hold onto something non-serious in the chance it's special because there are tons of other people out there, but dumping someone now because you'll break up later seems pointless.
It kind of sounds like your girlfriend is already putting nails in the coffin, though.
Okay, so here's the deal. My gf and I have been going steady for almost 5 months now, and in a months and a halfs time, we'll both be moving away to go to university in different countries. She's mentioned maybe 'slowing it down' in the past, with the idea being that by the time we say our final goodbyes we'll just be friends.

So OT, what do you think we should do? End it gradually or enjoy the amount of time we have together as best as we can. Also, anyone with any past experience?BrightonPierDefinitely end it either way. Not in a bad way, it's just that it won't work for that long over that great of a distance. That being said, I would enjoy the time that you have and when the time comes to part ways, you'll both know that you can stay friends as you'll have talked about it already. There's really no way to buffer to a break-up. What I mean by this is that there is no way to try to ease into a break-up to keep from getting hurt without at least one person beginning to either ignore the other or one or both not giving much into the relationship. Break-ups will happen and the hurt will be there. The hurt is actually a good thing that leads to emotional maturity and experience that will make you better and smarter going into the next relationship. Never try to do a gradual break-up or you will be cheating them and yourself.
You're gonna have to ask her if she still wants to be with you. No fooling around; look for a straight up yes or no answer. That's really your only issue here because let's face it, as difficult as long distance is (I'm currently in a long distance relationship), it's definitely possible if both parties want to go through with it. The advice you're getting in this thread is absurd. -Tish-Yeah but the girl apparently told him they should slow it down and just go back to friends when they go their separate ways. I am not against long distance relationships, it's just according to him, that's the vibe he is getting. That's why I said they should break it off. If she wanted to stay with him, she wouldn't have said that.

If she wanted to stay with him, she wouldn't have said that. you act as if men or women never say things they dont mean in stressful and uncertain times. it may be her flight response is acting, not saying they should try to force anything, that is bad news bears in a relationship, just saying parties involved may not know the full meaning of their guttural words.
Indeed, no point in delaying the inevitable with it just playing on your mind everyday until the final goodbye day. Just end it now and move on - there are plenty of women out there :)Seriously, it sounds just like she wants to break up with you but not till she's gone (like you said). I would try to change her mind all together or just break it off now. Not worth the effort of staying together if you know you aren't going to be together soon anyway.
