Kelley is a sophomore at Baltimore City Community College. She?s been in a steady relationship with her boyfriend, Rashad, for 4 years, and they?ve been in a long-distance relationship for the past 2 years. In an email, Kelley answered my questions on maintaining a relationship in college and shared some advice. Check out part one here!
How do you stay in contact?
Staying in contact with one another is pretty easy for Rashad and I. We are just a message or phone call away! From the moment we wake up, until it is time to go to bed, we are communicating. In-between classes we check up on each other to see how everything is going or what exciting news may have happened in the world. Rashad typically comes home for the weekend 1-2 times a month so we always see each other then. I plan to visit him soon, to keep things exciting.
Do you have any trust issues in your relationship?
In my opinion, being apart automatically leads to some sort of trust issues. I don?t care what anyone says; the moment a couple is split miles apart, things change. It?s not the fact that I don?t trust him while he?s away; it?s that I don?t trust the girls. Some girls are shady, and when they see a good opportunity they run towards it. ?My boyfriend is a good catch, without a doubt, and most females notice that.
What advice do you have for couples dealing with long-distance trust issues?
I would be conscious of the people your partner hangs out with. I?m not saying you have to investigate them, just listen to how your partner talks about them, and watch how often they hang out. Do they hang out in a group or is just the two of them?
If you do have a problem, I would simply ask your boyfriend/girlfriend. Be aware that what he/she says may not be the answer you?re looking for, but you will get an answer. Don?t be obsessive because that is nothing but a turn off. If something is going on and it is meant for you to know, trust me you will find out.
I?ve had my trust issues, and so has Rashad. If a person didn?t worry about their partner, I would think that they just don?t care enough about their relationship to make sure things are working.
Check back tomorrow for part 3!
