My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost four years. We started dating her freshman year and my sophmore year and graduated at the same time in May 2011. She had obtained and internship in Boston which is required for her major and lasts for ten months, so basically a year and I will be staying in NJ where I live. She lives in RI. I absolutely love her and wish that we could be together but she starts her internship in october and moves to boston in

sept. We visited each other during the summer about once a month for a week at a time.She visited twice and i visited her twice. During her second visit to NJ, we both began discussing our future and she brought up the fact that when she moves to boston she thinks she will want to take a break to find her self and have the option to see other people. We have had discussed this before but it became more real when we graduated. It kills me but i know that she is right and i know that i SHOULD be doing the same. But this girl fascinates me always with her ability to see the good in people, her genuine kindness, and her dorky sense of humor. I really feel that i could not find a better girl than her. She truly is amazing and i dont really want to let her go.

So i had just finished visitng her in RI and she told me that she changed her mind and wants to stay together. Someone had changed when she visited one of her friends in Boston. Im not really sure. Should i just accept things if they are good? Im not really sure how i should feel and would really appreciate the advice. There are other things that i would like to know which involves sex so maybe you guys could continue to help me with that after you incredible people help me with this situation. :) thanks

Forget about how you think you SHOULD feel, and tell her how you REALLY feel! Go tell her all that you told us! If she still wants to break up, then it's her loss, but at least you will know where she stands, that you did everything you could, and you can move on to someone who can really love you back.
