Today, I changed all my plans, after months of him begging me to, so I could go to the same university as my long-term boyfriend. After I sent in my deposit, he told me we couldn't live together in college because I was "invading his space." FML

Never change your plans for the sake of a single boy in your youth. In this era, it's just not worth it, darling...and now you see why....

If he was so desperate to be together, why didn't he go to the college of your choice? Dump him, because let's face it, he's probably a clingy loser anyway. Pull your pants up and do what you want to do; independence is always attractive. More often than not, your education will last longer than your relationships, especially if it's a high school relationship, so always put school first.

I'm sorry OP. Hopefully you can still go to the college of your choice now. I wouldn't go back to that boy after what he did. If you do continue your relationship with him, hopefully you will make HIM come to YOU. Good luck, OP!

It's definitely true that you shouldn't make bad life decisions for a significant other at that age. You just have too much going on. If he's the one, you'll work it out somehow, trust me. So go to the school of your choice if you can. If you're stuck at that school, don't sweat it too much. I'm sure there's plenty you can do and discover there if you just make sure to get out there and try things. Work hard, try new things, and you'll be fine. As for your relationship, it's conceivable that he just doesn't want to live with someone yet. Plenty of people are in happy relationships and feel that way. Maybe he's just not ready. But I'd be surprised if you guys were together for more than a semester. Just prepare yourself for either outcome.

most universities/colleges have coed dorms but gender is separated by floors. depends on your college but most likely you wouldn't be allowed to live in the same room as him anyway.

OMG what a douche bag he is, but why would you change your already thought out plans. Plus sorry to say this but college is where you meet many new plp and it was gonna happen anyway.

Ever heard that absence makes the heart grow fonder? Just in case he did need space, he could have conveyed that to u in a more tactful way.

That's only true to a certain extent, and on very different levels for many people. If they're apart too long (let's use the example of a year without really seeing each other) they begin to care less and less until the relationship eventually fizzles. Mind you, if they're apart for a month or less, then yes, absence does make the heart grow fonder, and you look forward to the time you spend together. If it's as long as a year before you see them, that could become overwhelming whereas a month isn't that overwhelming. Sorry if my comment barely makes sense, I'm a little drugged up from my cold medication.

As I've argued many-a-time before, usually your high school sweetheart is someone whom you grow apart from as you age. It sounds as though you had your pick of universities, was this the best choice for you? The time apart from your hunny bunny may have been just what you needed as you grew up a little from high school to realize that maybe he's not the one for you. But you didn't give yourself that chance did you? Maybe it was to work out anyway, but you'll never know if you don't experience life the way you were meant to.
