During 80% of our relationship, my fiance and I have been full time graduate students. My fiance’s graduation symbolized so much more than just accomplishing hard work…it symbolizes the beginning of a new era. We can now dedicate 100% of our time to wedding planning. Psych! Just kidding. But definitely at least 50%! Long gone will be study dates at the library, late-night dates in the cafeteria, and all night celebrations in Manhattan but the best is yet to come, eh?
How will our relationship change? Will we learn how to live a normal life, 9-5? Unfortunately, we won’t learn that yet. I have landed my dream job in DC, and he his in Houston. So for at least the next 6 months we will be long-distance. It breaks my heart that we are living apart at a time where I want to spend the rest of my life with him, but this is a curse of the modern couple I suppose. Have any of you had similar experiences? How do you deal with being engaged and apart?
