Ex’s relationships not your business
I’ve been dating my high-school girlfriend for the past two years. She is two years older than me and will be going to college this fall. We are planning on breaking up when she leaves this fall. But it will be too hard to be apart. I still love her and she loves me, but the distance and age difference make it too much for us. I’m having a hard time thinking that we even can be friends. I can be a jealous guy, and I can’t stand the idea of her sleeping with other guys. I told her that I can’t handle being friends if she decides to sleep with other guys. Now she doesn’t want to break up, but I don’t know if I can handle her being so far away around so many other guys. I’m having a really hard time with this whole situation. Any ideas?
