So, I met this girl on OKC about 6-7 months ago and we immediately clicked. We have had our ups and downs for the past couple months, but we are always so honest with eachother and always find a way to fix it with communication. I am 20 (not in college) and she is 17 (planning on going to college) and during that time she wants to take some time to experience the college life without feeling tied down. We really are very attached to one another and we talk about getting married in the future and having a family and what not when we're older. Which is why I completely understand why she wants to take this break at some point! If we truly do want to spend our lives together when we're older and feel comfortable with it, then we both will need to experience more things and explore our options so we don't regret it later on and resent eachother. I feel that as long as we continue with our honesty, trustworthy-ness, and effective communication then this could work. We plan on telling eachother EVERYTHING. Every person we see, every person we potentially sleep with, etc. If we keep things like that from one another, then that's a bad sign that we are, or one of us, is moving on. I feel that this could work out in the end. She says she doesn't necessarily want another boyfriend, but she may want to see other people (casual sex). I love that we can talk about this and both be on the same page about it. I just wanted to know what you guys think about this whole thing. Although, I'm sure it's a pretty common issue. I have good feelings about this relationship, although I still get sad when I think about her leaving. Wish us luck! Any advice is well appreciated :)
