Love Advice from a Student’s Perspective

Wendy Hernandez and Maleny Barba

My partner gets mad whenever I want to spend time with my friends and not her, what should I do?

You should be able to have time for both your friends and partner because being in a relationship does not mean you’re excluded from spending time with your friends. Don’t forget that you also need time for yourself as much as she does. Sit with her and talk calmly about how you are feeling and let her know she can also spend time with her friends just as much as you do.   

My partner wants to control my social life, is it okay for him to do that?

It is not okay for him to do that, however, if your relationship is mature enough, you shouldn’t be running into this problem. As a mature relationship, you should know which people would be okay for you to socialize with and the same goes for the other person. You shouldn’t let your partner control you but you should know what will bother the other person and will cause a problem.

I don’t like talking to my partner all day. I believe I need some time during the day for myself but I do not know how to tell my partner. How should I tell her?

You should be honest with your partner because a relationship is based on honesty. Tell your partner that you need time for yourself and also talking with your loved one shouldn’t be mandatory. Wanting time for yourself is nothing bad because regardless of your relationship, you should and need time to yourself to do your own things.

My girlfriend is always bugging me to answer her 24/7. What advice would you give me? I NEED HELP!

My warning would be to talk to her and explain why you can’t answer 24/7. If she doesn’t understand, she may not be the right person. She needs to understand that you will not be with her at every minute of the day.

My best friend kissed me on the lips on purpose to get revenge on his girlfriend. I don’t know how to tell my boyfriend!

In this case, it is something that you should say as soon as possible, because someone who saw them could see it and want to tell your boyfriend. It is better for your boyfriend to find out from you than from someone else. It might hurt your boyfriend’

 

s feelings but the pain would be less because you were honest with him and told him the truth. Explain what really happened and how it was that your best friend who kissed you. Explain that he did not stop from kissing you and tell him the reaction you had towards your best friend.

How could I tell my crush that I’ve been in love with them since freshman year, and now we are seniors!

Love is something you are not looking for, it usually coincidentally happens without knowing that this person could be your partner. In this case, I advise you to tell them in person and really tell them everything you feel for them. Tell them what you felt from the moment you saw them. If they also feel something for you, things are going to happen but if that person does not feel anything for you, at least you have your answer and your closure. A beautiful person like you deserves you before anyone else!
