Hey Ashley,

I know its hard not to be living together, but why not try and make the best of this. Instead of seeing it as the end of his commitment, why not just take it as a renewal

Like going out on dates, and taking mini weekends together. Maybe its harder to see the big picture when you are in it, but sweetie, its only 17 miles. At night after school, you can pop over to his place whenever you want and he can do the same.

Take it from someone who has also lived with the man she loves and he had to move away too. At least you have the seeing each other more than once or twice a week option. Really it is not as bad as it seems....its all a matter of getting accustomed to change.

Talk it out with him....maybe instead of attacking him with WHY ARE YOU LEAVING?!?! you can come at him with..."ok, so you are moving away, how are we going to work out our time together"

The more you fight him on this the easier it is for him to leave....i dont mean that to sound mean, but i've learned that the more you fight and yell the faster they run.

So go in there with a positive 'lets fix this' attitude and i think you'll see you guys will make some headway.

And to be totally honest, i'm sure you'll find that as the time goes on he'll end up spending more nights and more nights at your place to the point where he just might come back and say it was easier when you were living together.

Guys are notorious for not listening to our reasoning and they automatically throw it to the "you're being irrational" pile because we never present it in a manner they like.

Don't see this as a relationship downgrade, just a change of venue. An extra apartment to stay in
