While timing is a factor in things, I don't think that people should break up simply because of a major change (going to college, grad school, etc.) If that were the case, Boy and I would have given up long ago, when we graduated from HS. Or we could have done it recently when we graduated from college.
I was definitely looking for "the one" when we met. I figured it would be a HS thing and that would be it. But the more we got to know each other, the more we realized that this was something amazing.
Just because someone is "the one" doesn't mean that the relationship doesn't require work. In fact, I think that those require *more* work, simply because you know they are so right, that you're willing to fight tooth and nail to keep it.
We've often lamented that it would have been so much better had we met later on - it gets to be quite stressful to date someone for half a decade, and know that there is still another 2 years before getting married. But, we just kind of figure that it becomes a part of the fabric of our relationship and that in the end, it all works out for the best - that we took the time to get our educations before getting married, that we're making sure that we're financially stable, etc.
