I just had "the talk" with my boyfriend of 3 years about what's going to happen in late May when I leave. He's proposed that we split...I really don't like this idea. I'm heartbroken he doesnt have any hope of it working because it's long distance, he's the only person I have here in Philly (besides my family, which I'm desperate to get away from). I'm kinda torn...I want to do the college program more than anything though I've been through everything with Steve. I hate losing him...

Disney:confused3 Steve

::sighs::
 
Like JediHunny said, it's doable. My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 3 years, and it's been long distance the entire time. For us, it started out Washington state to Nevada, now it's WA to Florida.

Both parties have to be willing to make the effort.

Phone calls, texting, and instant messaging are great ways to stay in touch. Plus, if he can afford it, he can come visit you! Disney World is the best place for dates!

Good luck.
 
Oh Jellipop...I am so sorry to hear that. It worries me how quickly he moved to ending things. Especially after 3 years. I wouldn't give up your disney experience for someone who is not even willing to try long distance. I think it shows a lack of appreciation for the wonderful girl that is "jellipop":) Best of luck with that. Sending many happy thoughts your way
 

Well I think he's not strong enough if he already went to that decision..you still have months! My bf and I have been going out for 8 months now. A month after we were together he was taken into military custody in the middle of the night and was gone for 4 months. I never got to say goodbye, the first month or so I was only able to write, finally he got a computer so I saw him over the web cam..that was like 2 months in. We stayed together through all that after only being together a month. Now its my turn to leave him and we are both willing to make it work. thats the key. you have to trust eachother so much that you wont let anything happen. I wish you luck and hope things work out for you.
 
I agree with everyone else, the long distance is doable. I also strongly feel that if you are ment to be letting go and seeing if you come back together in the future it will happen!!! Good luck and I hope you two can figure out a happy medium so you don't have to give something wonderful up in either situation!
 
Hopefully we can work something out, I really do love him more than anything, he's the only one that keeps me sane here. I don't know what disney is going to hold for me....I do know that I have to go though.

My deceased granny kinda told me at a psychic reading thing (think John Edwards if you know who he is). My mom got our family tickets to a psychic medium and my grandma made it clear that I'm meant to go to Florida, by doing what I asked her to do prior to going to this event. I said "granny if you come through tonight I want you to yell at my mama that I can go to Florida." And she did!!! That was kinda creepy lol.

Ok, back to the convo. I'll try talking to him about the idea. I hope he'll warm up to the idea. He means everything to me.
 
Sorry to hear about your situation...good luck with whatever you choose. I know I was supposed to go to Disney for spring but I ended up satying here for my girlfriend of two years. Then just a month ago she broke up with me and I found out she cheated on me :( But now im going to Disney for fall advantage and Im really looking forward to it!

what a biotch. good for you bud. glad you got another chance.
 
You only live once...that's how I look at it. I've been with my boyfriend on and off for 7 years. The OFF parts are the long distance parts. We didn't want to restrict ourselves or each other from moving on if it happened or having a good time. In the end, we always end up back together. Testing the relationship this way makes it stronger, anyway. It's better than forcing a LDR and then ending up doing something you or him regret. Not saying that WILL happen, but even those who love each other do this if they are put in certain situations.
 
I think us splitting would probably be the best, if it's meant to be, we'll find our way back again. We always have. We dated when we were 14, met when we were like 8, started dating when I was 19...it's been a bumpy ride but we're still here for each other. Maybe I'll find someone better in Florida? If something happenss like that...I'll always love Steve though.

Yeah I was thinking maybe i would find someone better in florida...if i can find a girl that wont cheat on me. Problem being, what happens when I have to leave? haha
 
yall just need to go and have fun and not hold back. since yall are single, just let what happens happen. if you meet someone it may be just for 5 months or it may last you never know. life's too short.

This is some good advice to yourself to follow =). I totally believe if things are meant to be they WILL find a way.
 
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one going through this! My boyfriend and I have been together for about 2 years now...and we've had this discussion MILLIONS of times! What's also messed up about the situation is that not only am I trying to get into Disney...he's going into the Army! At first, we decided that it would probably be best to break up for that little bit of time, but he doesn't want to lose me if I find somebody to be with while I'm up in Orlando...and he's going to be missing me A LOT!!!...but if we stay together...I won't be able to talk to him while I'm doing the internship because he would be going through Basic Training...and we would have little to no contact during that time....which completely SUCKS!!! I really don't know what I'm going to do...I really do love him....but sadly either way...I'm losing him......

Thank you for the reassurement! But that's the thing...i don't know what to do....I wish reality was like Disney...Dreams Do Come True :wizard:....all we would ever need in life is a little bit of Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust :)

haha that would be awesome. I know when i was supposed to go in spring, my girlfriend said she was going to break up with me if i went....i ended up cancelling for spring (not cause of that), but she ended up cheating on me and dumping me a month ago anyway....but maybe ill find someone in florida :) anyway, i guess what im trying to say is in order for it to work, you both have to trust each other 100%
