[MedwayCorrado 10]

Yeah so, today it happened, i knew it was going to as when i got with her she said thats her plans, but it just crept up on us and today at about half 7, off she went..and wow, it hurts so much more than i thought it would..

 

Anyone ever been through this or got any tips on what to do? Doesn't help that my mates are either A) On holiday B) Being total idiots..

If I was you I would keep myself busy and keep myself occupied to try and take your mind off it. (maybe packaging my lights and sending them to me will keep you busy for abit, lol. :) ) It will get easier after a couple of weeks mate. :)

I don't usually answer 'personal' threads on here but this one I have a bit of experience of!

 

I am a couple of years older than my girlfriend so I went to uni while she was still in 6th form.

 

I think it was more difficult for her, especially to begin with as I kind of had 2 lives and she only had the 1. What I mean by that is that I was going to places and meeting people that she knew nothing about. Whereas when I spoke to her, I knew all of the stuff she was up to.

 

It is hard and if you don't 100% trust each other it's a waste of time. If you do then you can give each other some independence and not expect a long phone call everyday at the same time- she will probably be really busy and you don't want to make her feel like she's burdened if you are too clingy.

 

My girlfriend went to uni while I was in my last year at the other end of the country and so she was the one with the new life then which I had to get used to.

 

For the time being, my advice is keep in touch but don't be OTT and go to visit her in the next few weeks if you can- this will give you a picture of where she is and what she's doing when you speak to her in the future. It's also good to meet all her friends and socialise with them so you are not in a separate world from uni! And try really hard not to fight on the phone because it sucks when you can't see each other for another 2 weeks to sort it out face to face.

 

If there's more good times than bad then stick with it and it should survive- we were living apart for about 6 years and we've just bought a house together so there's proof it can work!
