Long term Relationship Advice?

My bf %26amp; I have been in a relationship for 2 yrs. He is now a freshmen in college %26amp; I am a senior in high school. Everything was perfect before he left for college, but lately I have been finding out all this stuff about him that he never would have done when he was here. Im not saying that I didn鈥檛 expect it, but I feel like he is leading a separate life at college. We got into a fight %26amp; he wouldnt call for the week, and when he came down for his spring break he said we were together but he needed space. I was ok with it %26amp;gave him space, he texted me a few days later and he wanted to be together, we agreed to start fresh, %26amp; the rest of the week was like we were in love all over again. He is now back at college %26amp; not calling me as often, texting me at 4:30am to say was studying for calc goodnight. I don鈥檛 know if he is just stressed with college, or he is just screwing with my head at this point, or even if he is just keeping me around for when he is home....Long term Relationship Advice?
This is a tough one. He may be keeping you around because you are safe, but.....going to college is totally different then what you are used to. Its not unusual for somebody to stay up until those hours to actually study. You have new friends and get busy. I certainly wouldnt jump to any conclusions. Realize that at this point you guys are in two different places, so things will be different. My bf and I are in the same situtaion, although I am still in college and hes at home. We have different lives during the week. I hardly talk to him while I am at school because I am so busy, or tired or stressed. But the fact that we dont talk to each other has no reflection on how we feel about each other. Its us giving each other space to do the things we need to do in our seperate locations.Long term Relationship Advice?
Sounds like he's discovered a whole new world....


His world!!! Where he can have his freedom to do what ever


he likes ....but you... he wants your freedom too!!!!!He doesn't like the idea of that , he wants to keep you waiting (faithfully) at home doing whatever he wants also!!!!!!
it seems that when people go to college they change... could be a part of growing up... there are pressures that he is under that you couldn't understand cuz you are not experiencing the same things... it sounds as if your world is changing... it can be scarey... but you know what... as you grow older, things often get better... and the guy I thought I couldn't live without in high school... I don't even know where he is now... and I am happy with the guy I married... I would have a serious heart to heart with your b/f and see what he is thinking... if he doesn't take you seriously, he could be using you... but you have to allow that he may be too busy for you while he is at school...
Raelee and Boadicea are both right: College is a whole new world that you have to adapt to in order to survive. And yes, most people do change along about the middle of their first semester. My own wonderful lady is currently in her first year of college and I've noticed changes in her. And it's not unusual at all for her to study until 4 or 5am when there is an exam looming.
Don't jump to conclusions, but it SOUNDS like he's just keeping you for home. I'm sorry but it does sound like you are the chick that if none of the hookups at college work out, he knows he has you to fall back on.
The trouble with long term relationships is that well you are just not around eath other that much. And too now that he is in college he is probably looking for college girls to date or screw. Usually when a guy says I need space they are going to break up with you soon.
