If you're in a relationship...

Totally agree on different situations.
My boyfriend works for one of the biggest entertainment companies in Canada (a company that deals mostly with children's entertainment stations). That being said, he is extremely supportive from a career perspective because he understands the great opportunities that can come from working for Disney. In addition, they are crazy busy right now (moving to a brand spanking to complex on the harbourfront in Toronto...the building has a slide that takes employees to the ground floor!). The bottom line is he's busy in Toronto and while he will be racking up air miles coming to visit me each month, we both are very career oriented and do what we need to do to get the job done. While I have every intention of having a good time and partying, I guess being the old maid that I am, my phase of "hooking up" and "flirting" has passed (FYI--I'm not saying I disapprove and by no means am I passing judgement I've just become an old maid--when I'm with someone I'm with them 100 percent).

I guess what I'm trying to say is I've met the guy I plan on spending the rest of my life with. I love him. He loves me. We're gonna build one kick ass family (um...in a few years anyways).

Thanks again for all the feedback though. It's great to hear so many different perspectives on this and I can't wait to meet you all (but again, I hope you don't think I'm a big giant prude...)

Sending out the love...

It's different for every person, but if you're in a relationship before you go, I'd say keep it on and see what happens. If it can't take the strain, then so be it, at least you'll know you tried. If you break up before you go out there, then you'll never know if it would have worked or not.

Mind you, I'll be going out single, so I can't really talk lol.

 

this is something else im worrying about... my bf was a MASSIVE whore before he met me, and now hes out there for a year and hes hanging around with a load of gay guys and going out with them ALL the time.

its only a matter of time until he cheats, if he hasnt already.

definately go single if ur doing this!

 

Hey Steven. I just wondered if your boyfriend knows you are writing all this on the forum? As I know lots of the current participants use it.

I personally think that he could have broken up with you before he went, but the fact that he didn't means he loves you and is gonna be faithful? He has been on his program for a month, and the first month of a disney program is probably the hardest as you have to get used to a new job, people and country. I'm sure all the nights out will die down in the next month or so.

I wouldn't say he has chosen disney over you, as people move away to work all the time and leave loved ones behind.

 

One word: AMAZING!!

That's one thing Disney doesn't have, you should make sure you visit him if no other reason than to go on the slide!!

Sorry, i realise that was completely irrelevent to the topic...carry on!! :-X

 

as soon as I get pictures I'll post them!

 

Yeah his bf is fully aware that he puts things like this on a forum...as i am his bf...makes me feel loved

 

Hey Guys!!!

I have to agree with Steven and say that breaking up is the best option. My boyfriend has been there for two months and personally if I didnt get in for next month it would not have worked!! It just hurst so much to see him having fun with other people and yes there is skype but because of the time difference and their working hours its damn difficult to organise...everytime he has a chance Im busy and vice-versa. Also alot of promises are broken in that time period and you feel seriously neglected and left out! Please dont see me as moaning but I just want people who are going into something like this to discuss it before hand and really consider their oprion.. I have had a long distance relationship the year before with the same guy but we only lived 6 hours away from each other( It worked really well)...now its 29 by flight!! It makes a huge difference and I have to say that If you do love each other you can always take a break for that year and carry on where you left off but as we know thats not always a guarantee!!


Im just very grateful that I got accepted into the preogram too!! I take it a sign!!!

Thanks for my little rant guys, Much appreciaited!!

XxX

 

I've just read through this and I think that everyone needs to be careful with what they say. Everyone is different, and all relationships are different. You can't just put a label on it and say if your going away, break up now!! I've applied for the CRP and am hoping more than anything to be accepted. I am already in a long distance relationship (I live in London - bf in Wales - which may not sound too far, but try both doing shift work!!) I am lucky if I see him once every three months, and only then its when we have prearranged a few days off in a row!!

If you are determine to make it work then you will do. And if you are meant to be together then you will last through it. If not then at least your in the happiest place on earth to distract yourself!!!

(sorry I'm an eighties child and grew up with preachy sitcoms...and I love Gary Coleman)
That is all. I'm going to pack now.
