school help: Advice please. - Help.com

Advice please.

I have a relative who is almost 19 years old in college and is dating someone who is across the nation. I myself married my long distance relationship so I do believe in them, but my relative is totally blind. She started to go down on her grades in school to the point that she almost got kicked out. She tells her family that he loves her more then them. She talks on the phone with him constantly. If he calls and he doesn’t answer she will call him back and say sorry I couldn’t answer becuase and she goes into this whole explanation. She is the only who travels to see him becuase he can’t. I feel that she is totally obsessed with this relationship, but how do I tell a 19 year old this when it seems it isn’t my place to say anything. Oh and her parents don’t know that she travels to see him. She lies to them which I think is wrong becuase if she wants to carry this relationship as an adult than you shouldn’t be hiding the things you do. Can someone give me some advice.

Well, have you tried simply talking with her, or is that not an option? At 19 (granted I’m 17 but I managed to get into a similar situation at 15), there is no logic when it comes to relationships. Does this guy she’s with know the effects the relationship is having on her? Maybe he could suggest they slow down so she can focus?
