Walking away to avoid getting hurt?

Is this a coward move by me? Me and a girl are going into a long distance relationship together. We are each other's first loves, and have confirmed how much we love each other. She's been completely faithful to me, and I faithful to her.

But, she's moving away and so I am (colleges). We will be about 8 hours apart, and won't get to see each other much but are both willing to wait for each other (and want to). She told me she wants no one else, and she is a confident gal. Very strong. She told me there was no one else for her in her life.

But, I'm just so scared of getting hurt. She's insanely gorgeous, and gets plenty of attention as it is already. She doesn't care for it, and wishes she wasn't as pretty as she is. But, she said she's "really excited about going to a public school" since she's been in a small private school all through high school.

I am just so scared that she will go crazy and want to party and whatnot. Am I being a coward for thinking about just walking away? Because I have been hurt really bad before once already, and can't stand to go through that again. Would this be a bad move on my part? I only want her in my life...her, and only her. She's my life, my everything. And I'm her everything and her life. Completely in love with each other.

But, I'm too afraid of getting hurt. I am seriously considering just walking away...please help...

well if you trust her and she trusts you what is the problem? you sound as if you do not trust her. dude if you have a thing as good as you say, and a woman as good as you say, you better stick it out and see what happens. going away from each other is not the end of the world.you would still be able to see each other from time to time. you must each keep your sexual desire in check though. good luck dude

Oh no...she NEVER hurt me. She was perfect in every way in terms of making me happy. She never once made me loose trust in her at all.

We won't see each other very much at all. Maybe a couple times a year. But I may end up transferring to her school.

I will put my trust and faith in her though. She has done and been the greatest person to me

EDIT - It was my ex before her that hurt me real bad

EDIT x2 - She was my first REAL love. My ex before her was empty

well this is an easy one. stay with her. have you thought about the hell and torment you will put her through if you break it off? me personally, if I had a girl like that, this question wouldn't even cross my mind. I would stand by her no matter what.

Okay man...

I appreciate it. I never have wanted to give up on her, and she is stronger than me. It's just a "protective" move I'm trying to make for myself...

that is good and smart thinking looking out for yourself in the long run! i hope everything works out for you two. good luck

I just woke up and feel like I can't do it anymore...

Her and I barely get to talk, and won't get to see each other barely at all.

She said there is no one else for her, but I'm getting jealous over her "being happy" to go out and experience college...

I want her to have that time, and I just hate feeling like this.

yes it is very tough. is there a way for you or her to move or transfer to a school that is closer?

Not for a while, at least...

She has a volleyball scholarship, and I have to stay in state for school. Both of our families are struggling financially.

I may be able to go to her school in fall 2012. Almost 3 years from now.

I am in a horrible bind, but I don't want to give up on her. She's a very special person to me. The MOST special. I want her to do well in life, and I want her in my life. So, I can't just say "you're out of my life". She IS my life. Everything I do, I use her as my motivation.

It's almost like...no matter how hard I try, I can't just give up on her. I care about her and love her too much.

dont let fear override hope. when you care for someone you take that leap of faith. Its your first love so your even more scared. we all are. every relationship you encounter in life, there is that possibility. give her the benefit of the doubt. if she loves you, you shouldnt have anything to worry about. and if you do get hurt, thats life. we have all been there. it sucks, but you move on and then your just one step closer to meeting the right one

DO NOT BREAK UP WITH HER!!! YOU WILL HURT HER EXTREMLEY AND MAYBE FOREVER AND MAY END UP HURTING YOURSELF AS WELL THEN END UP LIVING IN A CONSTANT REGRET WHILE SHE MAY BE LEFT WITH AN EMOTIONAL SCAR. im just thinking from my point of view (a girl), if it isnt meant to be or if something eventually drifts you two apart, let it go slowly, dont break it off especially since she told you she wants YOU. wait until you guys get to college and decide from there.

Hi i am kinda inn the same sitiation as u actulli am in the ezacli same situatuion & i jst wanted 2 know how it turned out 4 u? Please if you could let me know what happend and if u fink it was the right decition
Thank You S.A

hey well i think if you guys trust each other it will be alright. you have to trust her a lot. and uni/college is difficul you will meet loads of people. and the distance is complicated too but there is always a way to contact each other skype etc. : ) and even taking a train once a weekend or once a month if once a week is not possibile.
wish you all the best!
