College Advice for My Relationship

[dunnoWut2Dew]

My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost a year now, she's a rising junior, and I'm a rising senior. Next year i'll most likely be heading to a college that has a majority of women. I do have a girlfriend whom I fell in love with but I'm not sure if she's the best fit for me. She is a really sweet girl but she does things that drives me nuts. For example, we fight at least once a week, she complains about pretty much EVERYTHING, and she is very insecure. My mom doesn't like her very much and thinks I could do better. When I go to college i'll be surrounded by tons of women. I know for a fact that I'll find a girl who is better for me. My current girlfriend is my first one and I'm very scared to break up with her. She is SO emotional that I don't know what she would do. She really is in love with me and I would feel so bad breaking up with her just to allow me to explore other options. She really does adore me with all her heart but I don't think we could manage a LDR. I know her heart would be shattered and it would break mine too.

As soon as we part ways I know I'll start missing her like crazy, but I honestly think its best if I break it off. Its almost an obligation to do so. I want to be able to have a fun 4 years rather than being bogged down by a LDR. Can somebody please give me some advice?

Suck it up princess. Break ups are never easy. You are young, and yes I totally agree with you that you should enjoy different experiences before ever settling into a committed relationship. She is young and will never understand this because she is too immature....the young ones are all emotional freaks. They are disillusioned about dating...they think a relationship is forever......NOT! Relationships come and go, its part of life Just tell her honestly that its not fair for either of you to continue when you will be separated for years.....She will be swept up in the heartbreak but I bet her parents will step in and explain things to her.

Dude Im not even sure why you are with her. Not once did you ever mention your feelings for her. It sounds to me you have already left this relationship...... Thats more cruel than breaking up with her.

As Smackie said, you've already check out of the relationship, you just need to settle the account.

There is no easy way to break up with someone but there are good and bad ways. Be honest is the best way. Most people usually opt for sparing feelings (usually their own) and this usually results in confusion.
