i know how she feels to be honest, i was in a pretty serious relationship at 19, and after almost a year, i just wanted a break, i know its such a hard thing to hear, but sometimes, time alone is all you need to make you realise wat you have, we got back together and havent looked back since, i couldnt ask for a better guy!! talk to her and explain that while you respect her wishes, you still care for her and would like to still keep in contact now and then. she is young and has every right to feel a little smothered and wanna get out a bit. let her do wat she needs, chances are absence will make the heart grow fonder

just-ask-xx agony auntLook, you're both young and you're in love with her, and she's probably in love with you, but the thing is, she might be scared of committing, of getting married and all that. Just give her the time and space she needs and things'll work out eventually, once you have your lives sorted you can marry her or whatever but in the meantime, stay friends, and always respect her, just a thought =] x

Sweet-thing agony auntYour girlfriend is still young and it is probably wise that she have time to explore life before she decides to make be with anyone permanently. She needs to figure out who she is and what she wants in life and you cannot do this for her. Give her some space and see what happens. If it doesn't work out for you two, it probably wasn't meant to be anyhow and wouldn't you rather know now, than wait until after you're married and have kids, only to have her freak out and need to "find herself" because she hasn't a clue? It's always a bad idea for a woman to go from being someone's daughter, to someone's wife with no time in between to be themselves and figure stuff out. I wish you the best.
