Think you can help me with some thing??

ok...so im 20 my girlfriend is 17 turning 18 real soon. we have been dating for like 3 years now. well she graduates this year and after summer shes moving with her best girlfriend to an appartment thats like 2 hours away from where I am now. So she...

tells me she wants to learn how to independant and she doesnt really want me to follow her or anything cause she will just end up relying on me so I ask her if she wants to break up or something cause most of the time girls say one thing but mean another..but she says she doesnt want to break up she wants to make this long distance thing work out and all that. so how do I take this? is this going to blow up in my face or? do I let her go and support her and everything will work out? we have talked so many times about this but she still says she wants to go and learn herself. I just need some advice on how to take this and what I should do? thanks

It just seems like she wants to test your relationship in some way, she wants to see how you two can handle being apart, sometimes it's nice for a relationship to have some distance apart for a little while. It doesn't at all mean she doesn't want to be with you. If you truly want to be her, you'll make this work.
