HS boyfriend and girlfriend

[Anonymous]

When do these long distance HS relationships break up during freshman year? I'm gonna take a wild guess and say they break up during Thanksgiving break.

For the most part it happens pretty early if they are both freshmen.

If one is still in high school, then it might take a bit longer but frankly not a great look for a college guy to have a high school girlfriend.

I would suggest they break up at graduation unless they have a child together or something and see how they feel the following summer.

One of our DDs dated her high school boyfriend through junior year of college.

Not really something parents get to decide. They are young adults.

You don’t like him or her? You seem giddy and it’s weird.

After sophomore year and I had transferred to his college for my sophomore year.

I liked the college better than my first one.

And met my husband there in junior year. Married/together 3 decades.

It died a slow death late senior year until it finally ended beach week and yes we were absolutely giddy.

Going to college with a girlfriend still in high school or on another campus is one of the dumbest moves you can make -- right up there with following a high school girlfriend to college. Maybe one in ten couples actually go the distance. The other nine end up wasting part or all of their college experience -- time they could’ve spent chasing sorority dimez -- and they always regret it.

Not to mention, top-tier fraternities generally aren't interested in rushees who are tied down in long-distance relationships. They want guys who pull and bring fine women to the house. And a bid from a top-tier fraternity can lead to networking and career opportunities long after graduation. There are just so many reasons why trying to maintain a high school relationship in college is a bad idea.
