<p>apologize for this. move/delete if wrong forum/inappropriate. would appreciate advice on the general question; even more if you could comment on my situation. read below for details.</p>
<p>been in a relationship for about a year and a half now. sweet, cute, ambitious lady --- granted, we have our differences, but we get along quite well.</p>
<p>fall marks the start of our first year in college. she's off to perhaps one of the top universities for the field she's entering; i'm off to community college. luckily, we're still only about an hour or two apart.</p>
<p>problem? circumstances we got together under. without saying too much, let's just say her ex was (and still is, strangely enough) a good friend of mine... which i still feel kind of bad about, as we were close and talking about a possible relationship while she was with him.</p>
<p>i'm not typically the jealous type, but regardless of the fact that it's my own doing, in a way a precedent has been set. she acknowledges this and states that she's sorry there's nothing really she can say or do to help.</p>
<p>she's been pretty shaky with what she says and how she apparently feels. has more than once in the past few days said that if she finds someone else, she may end up leaving. that she wants to see me fight for her. she then says she's not looking, and that she'll try to hold up her end.</p>
<p>i feel like i've tried to do what i could to make the relationship work. i'm still very much interested in her; she supposedly still feels the same way. but the lack of confidence in her words... can't help but makes me feel uneasy.</p>
<p>thoughts? anyone have experience in this sort of sitation (hs to college)? thanks.</p>
