I'm 18 and have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 3 years now. He's 2 years older but we both came to a university at the same time. And since we didn't get to see each other as much as we would have liked to while I was still in high school, we've spent every minute together since we've moved down here. We rushed into living together. And now I'm beginning to think it was a mistake. But me and my roommate don't quite get along. I feel like I have no where else to go because when we fight, we're just stuck with each other and it's never been like that. What do I need to do? We rarely fight, but when we do, we take it hard.
We're happy and we love each other, but am I missing out on the freshman year experience because I'm in a committed relationship? Or did we mess up by living together so soon? The transition has been a tough one.
Any suggestions?

you might have rushed in on living together too soon. but 3 years sounds like a decent commitment to one person, and you shouldn't let a slip up such as living together ruin your relationship. If anything this should bring you closer together. You just need to take one day at a time. commit yourself to school, and commit yourself to your boyfriend. its a new experience and the transition will eventually adjust and smoothen out. just keep your head above the water :]

Thanks, girl. I think the summer before we even moved was worse than actually moving here. We were both so stressed. But now we make efforts to have movie nights and do cute things like curl up together with a bowl of popcorn and watch a scary movie. :) I guess because our schedules are so different and the economy isn't the same as when we started dating, alone time is hard to find and dates aren't as frequent. Anyone else's relationship suffering from the bed economy? If so, I read some good tips in Cosmopolitan for cheap/no-cost dates. :)

Sammy, we definitely didn't plan on living together during my first year of college. lol It just kinda happened. Hell, he has a roommate who, I'm pretty sure, wants me out! But the dorm life just wasn't for me. Lol! Too small and too blaaaah. I think next year, I'm getting my own apartment and the circumstances will be much better.

Thanks so much!
