A female United States age 26-29, *egeroonie writes:

me(16) and my boyfriend(almost 17) have talked about getting an apartment close to the collage we both will be going to after we graduate. it'll be a few years for me cause I'm a year behind but since he only has one year I figured he should start saving money for one.

Would us sharing an apartment be to much to handle right now?

Phoebe Halliwell agony auntI agree with what's been said already. College life is stressful! It'll test your relationship whether you're living together or not. I think it would be good for you to each have your own space to go to at times when you just need to think or feel like being on your own.

Also, I know you might not want to hear this, but you're young; what if you and your boyfriend were to break up? Would you really want to still be living together...?

Wait until you both mature a bit before taking such a huge step :)

A female reader, anonymous, writes (5 August 2010):

If it's not for a few years then why are you worrying about it now? You don't know what's going to happen in the meantime. People change, what you want changes, what you think changes...you may decide that you don't want to go to that college, you might decide you don't want to be with him anymore...who knows. Why stress out and worry about something that may or may not happen in a few years? Just focus on enjoying today and your relationship now. You never know what the future will hold and can't control it....so don't waste time worrying about it.

cocoqueen88 agony auntyou may want to stay seperate for the college years... if in fact you 2 are still together. college is the time where you wanna find yourself and explore new and different things.

Plus living with someone is a huge step. it's all cute at first but it can cause a lot of problems. stay in seperate places so the both of you have time to mature... and trust me you'll need it.

BrownWolf agony auntNot to put a scare on you. College life will put a heavy strain on your relationship as it is.

Going to see someone and living with someone, are two very different things. Anyone living together with their partners will tell you that.

Wait and see how things go before you take that step.
