My name is TJ. I'm 18, live in NJ, and am soon to be going to college in Orlando, Florida. My girlfriend of a year, Justine, was the best thing I believe to enter my life. She is 16 and remains in High School. We've done absolutely everything together the first time... all our 'bases' were first covered by each other, and we were the first meaningful realtionship in both our lives. We have an incredibly strong bond, nothing is going wrong.
I don't want to brag, but I guess I should just to help make my problem clearer. People say we are the "cutest couple", we're "perfect for each other"...etc... and I agree. I don't see another couple that can compare.
The problem lies in that I am leaving for college in 23 days. The last thing I want is for our relationship to end. However, Justine suggests (and strongly believes) that we should just break it off the day I go away, and then whenever I'm home we could 'get back together'. Sorry, I can't deal with that.
She's a girl that is sought after by a lot of people... these are guys that I know. They're like hawks, circling around Justine, waiting for me to leave. I can't bear to know that the girl I love can and will get manipulated by them and there's absolutely nothing that I can do about it.
College is going to be scary. Leaving my family is bad enough, but leaving the one I can truly depend on and am completely attatched to is even worse. I don't know what to do, or how to accept it, and if someone has any good advice I'm open to it. Thanks...
TJ
