Me and my boyfriend have been together just over a month. I’m an upcoming freshmen, while he’s an upcoming sophomore. We live about 45 minutes apart from each other.
I would say we’re a very affectionate couple. Intimate as well. (We‘ve done “it”). We hang out roughly 2-3 times a month, because of the distance, which makes it a little difficult. Me and him, though, are going in a few weeks to see Bruno Mars on my birthday.
I want advice on how me and him can stay in a long term relationship, even going into adult years? Me and him both struggle with mental health, me more than him, but we hear each other out and validate ourselves. We have our moments and stuff but my siblings and parents like him, and his guardian likes me. I just really want this to work. He’s always calling himself a bad boyfriend and I don’t wish that on him and I don’t think he’s bad at all. He only says that when he yells or gets mad, which, I totally get. I don’t know how to help him with that because I worry it’ll be too far one day.
The hardest part of the relationship I’d say is either the distance or his cousin. I absolutely hate his cousin, because he’s my ex. My boyfriend knows, and is aware and keeps us apart, but his cousin is a cheater and a liar. He’s how I met my boyfriend, though.
I just don’t really know what to do. I want advice, and just anything that would help me and him. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask, I just need help!!!
