I have a girlfriend that I have been going out with for 14 months. She lives 2 hours away and I see her almost every weekend- I either take her back to my house or I stay at her house for the weekend. Things have typically gone fine until about two months ago. We have fought more and more. I am friends with my ex's uncle, and this bothers her tremendously. However, me and him are good friends and I am not planning on stopping hanging out with him because he is an awesome guy and in some ways my idol. Anything that has to do with my ex girlfriend, my girlfriend is totally against it, even though I am totally over avoiding my ex and we have even somewhat become friends. My current girlfriend and I started going out approximately three weeks after my last relationship, which lasted 10 months and was my first love- quite a painful experience although I am over it and I feel like it taught me a lot. I am just not sure what to do about this whole situation. I feel like I am growing more distant from my current girlfriend the less time I spend with her, and I feel like I want to experience other women someday, and I feel like there are some things I need to explore and do on my own while I am single, while I can. I know she loves me like crazy and I love her too- I don't know if I want to lose her forever. I am only 20 though and I know I have my whole life ahead of me. Would someone please give me some insight on this?

Yes you are ONLY 20 you feel like you want to get out there and see what and who else is out there so do it. You are a afraid that if you break up with this girl you will hurt her. But its better to be honest with her that waste her time and your time. You're not in this relationship whole heartedly so whats the point. Don't do things in life half ass. Either do it the 100% or forget it its not worth it. You know what you have to do but you just want to take the easy way out and not confront your issues.
And your girlfriend going crazy just because your hanging out with your exes UNCLE? thats a sign that she is insecure and it will just get worst TRUST ME. You won't be able to talk to another female for the rest of your life. I mean its not even your ex your talking to. Then I would understand. Its her Uncle I mean she really needs to get over herself.
Any way bottom line your way too young for all that stress Get out while you still can. We all get our hearts broken and we all get over it. Its apart of growing up. [ liloprah's advice column | Ask liloprah A Question ]

Dont make excuses and say its because you are young, love has no age, it is just what you want to do. Its time to break up with her. Yes, it will hurt her but life is about hurting and getting hurt. I promise you she will get through it. you cant stress on every decision you make by wondering who you're going to hurt. you have to do what is best for you.
