University as a couple

pinkshoes

My brother and his ex were together from aged 15/16, went to uni together, shared house together etc... They split up 7.5 years later as they (she...) felt they had changed a lot from being 16 years old and no longer wanted the same things from life.

My brother was gutted, but then met a lovely girl who he is now engaged to.

If it is meant to be, it will last.

I met a guy at uni in my first year, dated him for a year and then split up. In my second year I started going out with a work friend, and I now live with him 3 years later. (I know, not the same thing at all)

Yes uni is a special time and the first taste of adult freedom, but how you use this freedom is down to the individual. My ex and I liked to spend time together as opposed to going out in town because that's who we were. My OH didn't mind what I did when I was living in student digs, but most nights I'd get bored and go back to his.

ellay as I was exactly where you were last year, and have just read my posts too I will update with you;

YD and her fella had a blissful year, supported each other throughout, and have moved into a shared house with four other fellas this year - still together.

They too have made it work, and I am terribly proud of them. They cook for each other around their work shifts, use a slow cooker, go to seperate sports things, he turns out to walk her home after diving because it's 9.30pm and he doesn't like her walking home alone - she goes clubbing whilst he works on the door.....

They have had a good year, and are all set up for another.

Whether or not they stay together for ever who knows, but whilst it has given her a slightly different uni experience to a single girl, it's not any 'less' an experience I don't think, she has had a great year and is loving it.
