Did you ever have a relationship that was just bad timing?

My boyfriend and I have only been going out since July 18th. This summer has been the greatest period in my entire life. Alas, we are going to different colleges and we’re going to have to go our separate ways now. He’s leaving for college today and I’m going with him to help him move in. Then my seeing of him will be severely limited.

We haven’t broken up yet. I’m wondering if we should. I know several friends who broke up peacefully before they went to different colleges because it was the most realistic thing to do. Of course I still intend to be friends with him and we’re not going to cut each other off, but being in different colleges makes it more difficult.

It just sucks because we’d known each other since 2002 and then nothing happened relationship-wise until July 2009. Oh well…any similar experiences?
