Hey there everyone. So...My husband and I got married when we were 16. Despite popular belief, it wasn't because we were having a baby or anything - we just knew we were supposed to be together and our parents trusted us.

Anyway, now we're 18 and seniors in high school. We applied to a lot of colleges. Some were the same schools, some were different. The thing is, we've gotten just about all of our acceptance/rejection letters and it turns out that we haven't gotten accepted to any of the same schools.

He and I are really torn on what to do. Right now, we're really considering going to different schools. The problem is most of his options are in the Northeast and mine are in the South.

He really wants to go to school in the north and I'm completely in love with one of the schools in the South. We've weighed our options. My husband thinks it might be a good idea to go to different schools and to be apart from each other for at least a semester but I feel like this option might result in us breaking up. More importantly, I don't think I want to be apart from him that long. Another option is one of us going to community college near the others university. My husband said he's willing to go to a community college near wherever I go to school but I feel like that's going to make him unhappy.

I'm not sure what to do. I guess I just want some of your thoughts? or any possible suggestions? Thank you. :)

The two of you are married and the two of you should trust each other even if it is being away for a long time. You said that you knew you were supposed to be together and even got married AND your parents trusted you. If thats the case then go separate universities. Things might be rocky but every relationship is. And marriage is no further from the truth. This is about your future careers here so whatever the you decide, make sure it is being decided with your husband.

Why don't the two of you just compromise and go to the state college where you live right now. It's a step above a community college and anyone can get in basically. You'll be near family and you could even take classes together.
