Is it normal that i don't want to go to uni without my boyfriend?
So we've been together almost 18 months and we're both about to start different unis a long way apart. He says that once we start we have to go back to being friends, at least for a while. I'm having a lot of issues over whether to go - I didn't get into my first choice uni, they've cancelled some of the modules I wanted to do this year, and I'm generally worried that I won't be able to cope - but more than anything else I'm scared of being without him. I have trouble being away from him anyway, I don't have many other friends around and I get lonely and upset really quickly. Also, the second year of my course will be spent abroad, and I hate the idea of not seeing him for a year. He says he's too big a part of my life, and maybe that's true but I don't know what to do about it. I have to go up a few weeks before he does, and I know I'm not going to want to go. I considered dropping out but he says it won't make a difference to us being together, and I feel really trapped and scared. I want to be with him more than anything.
Since I got my exam results I've been feeling stressed and sick, I cry a lot, I don't want to eat much and when I do it's usually not very healthy. At first this was major disappointment for not getting my first choice uni, but now I think it's more to do with him. I just know that thinking about it makes me feel ill, and I'm running out of time.
Is it normal to feel this strongly?
