DEAR ABBY: I am 15 and had been going with my boyfriend, "Chris," for only a month when I found out that my family is moving to Arizona at the end of August. When I told Chris, he said he didn't see the point of our relationship if I'm leaving, and he broke up with me.
My problem is I have very strong feelings for Chris, and I'm going to be here all summer. That's a long time. Chris and I still talk and have met casually on different occasions, but he thinks I should concentrate on getting ready to start my "new life" without him. What's your opinion, Abby? -- TEXAS "MISSY"
DEAR "MISSY": Chris may have a point. Maintain a friendship with him, but don't expect an exclusive relationship. Give him marks for being practical and rational. Stay in contact after the move. Who knows where things might lead when you are both older.
