Hate to break it to you, but these "failures at life" are spot on. I know you don't want to believe me, but it's the truth. I felt the same way when I got into my LTR at 20. All these people told me to not get too serious and enjoy my time as a young adult. I, of course, ignored that advice, and wish I hadn't.
I didn't say the were failures at life because they tried to influence her. I'm saying they're that because that's really what they are.Those people have nothing going for them.If you're not successful dont give advice about how to be successful.That was the idea.

Add to this the fact that it is a long distance relationship, where she doesn't even see you 90% of the time. Being physical with someone 2 days out of the month is not normal for an 18 year old, nor a 20 year old. She obviously isn't happy with the way things are, and no matter how hard you try to convince her otherwise she will continue to be unhappy. It isn't your fault - It is just the way the cards were dealt. You can't, and shouldn't, give up college to make her happy. And it sounds like she can't move just yet, so that won't happen either.
I know this. And you're right.I also said something along these lines in my first post.

If you love her, and it sounds like you do, let her go. Enjoy the time outside of the relationship, and if you both still feel the connection after a year and a half apart, you can talk about it then. Don't waste your younger years, they go by quick.
This is also true.My emotion storm was keeping me from seeing this simple truth.I understand your point , but nothing of these years was wasted. It was a great experience and a immense opportunity to learn a great deal of things.Which I did.

This weekend, do as Heywood says. Make it enjoyable. When the serious talk comes, and it will, don't avoid it. If you want, tell her to save it for the last day and enjoy the rest of the time. Unless it is a weight on her mind, which it may very well be. Be understanding, and if she wants it to end, end it. Don't get angry, end it in a mature manner. Trust me, you'll feel 10x better about it, knowing you handled it maturely.
I'm a rational guy and nothing if not capable of being mature. So is she. I have no reason to be angry and ending it maturely is exactly what I want and I bet it's what she wants too. There's no reason for anger and resentment.I already said in my first post everything she told me is completely understandable.
I managed to get myself together and see things a lot clearer now.
Like I said , a great movie deserves a great ending. I won't settle for anything less.
I guess I should be happy.After all most breakups are a result of insecurity , cheating , lying , all that ugly stuff.Seems like I actually picked a lucky card if I think about it.
Thanks for your input.It was helpful ^_^.
