Well I've been dating this guy for about 6 months.I'm a junior in high school and he is a freshman at the college that's in my hometown. However, he lives 30 minutes away. We don't get to see each alot but we eat lunch together twice a week and hang out once on the weekends. One problem of ours is my parents. My parents are very strict and don't let us hang out as much as we'd like. I've grown use to it but my partner hasn't. He gets all mad and won't talk to me like all day or takes it out on me. He complains all the time about it and how he doesn't know how much longer he'll put up with it. Another problem is we fight alot. We both are very stubborn , hard headed people that want to be right majority of the time. We fight over past things, what the future holds for us and much more. Since I'm planing on going to Miss. State University in 2 years and he plans on going to Ole Miss which is like 2-3 hour drive. He gets mad cause I'm not going to Ole Miss with him. So these ! are some of our problems. We've almost broken up twice and gone on a break for a week before. What should we do? Continue this, and if so how should we work things out? Or end and just be friends even though it might mean we never date again? I'm confused, please help! Thanks,Kelli

I bet your confused, for one, not the best relationship for anyone ESPACIALLY someone in highschool. That aside, your lives do not make the situation TRUE for the two of you. You've got love, no doubt there, but this situation makes it hard for you guys to know HOW to love. So your stuck doing ALOT of talking about what would make you comfrontable with this relationship, if you don't well you fight, thats just how it is. They call it transgression, without a honest dialogue about your feelings were you can trust the other well take it seriously all you can do is fight. So its time for some heart-felt conversation, lets just say if your crying your doing something right, if your yelling, your failin....

Hi Kelli
I know when two people care about eachother, they would love too see eachother all the time but sometimes thats not possible, like in your situation. .
It sounds like he isnt trying hard enough too make this relationship work. When he states don't know how much i can put up with this. Your still very young, and you plan on going to different school, so my opinion to you is to maybe break it off.It doesnt seem like this relationship is going to make it thru the different schools..If he cant handle it now , he won't handle it then..You are just prolonging the relationship. Or you can stick it out and talk with him, and discuss your problems you have with him fighting etc. You stilll have to go thru another grade in high school, so maybe if you both are willing to fight for your relationship and love grows stronger, you may even decide to go too the college he is at.Time will only tell. Ask yourself how much does he mean too you? Is he worth fighting for? Then ask him the same question and see where it will go. LDR can work but its very very hard.You both have to want it...You both have to put your hearts into.Never lose communication...key word.Good Luck Kelli
