"My boyfriend and I are long distance now, but it hasn&amp;#039;t felt that way, since we see each other almost every weekend. I do sometimes get frustrated when we&amp;#039;re both too busy to talk much during the week, so it&amp;#039;s nice to know that we can spend time together once Friday rolls around. This past weekend was one of the first times we&amp;#039;ve spent a weekend apart in a few months\u2014usually, I go to visit his school or he comes to visit mine (we take turns). But this weekend, I wanted to have girl time with my roommate before spring break, and K. wanted some time with his own friends, too. No big deal, right?

No, you cannot go to two date functions. I pouted for a little bit, because I didn&amp;#039;t want to have to be the controlling girlfriend that says, &amp;quot;no.&amp;quot; No one likes that type of girlfriend, and I don&amp;#039;t want to be her. So, I gave myself time to think about it for a couple of hours. I understood both of our sides\u2014he didn&amp;#039;t understand why it would be a big deal to go, because they have just been friends for years, and I didn&amp;#039;t understand why it was a big deal to just skip it, since it was clearly irritating me. At the end of the day, I chose to be chill. I&amp;#039;ve met both of the girls and I know that they have a group of really good friends (guys and girls) that have been friends for years. If I couldn&amp;#039;t trust him to go to a date party with a friend, that would be a really bad sign. Plus, if he was actually going to do something bad, then it would happen whether or not he went to some date function.

If he&amp;#039;s totally fine with me going to parties without him, then I&amp;#039;m okay with him doing the same thing. In the past, I&amp;#039;ve had to constantly worry about what a boyfriend was doing when I wasn&amp;#039;t around because I couldn&amp;#039;t trust him. It&amp;#039;s nice that I don&amp;#039;t feel like I have to worry now. :) Are you doing the long distance thing\u2014what&amp;#039;s the hardest part for you?
