Dear Peer,

I’ve been dating this girl and I’m really feeling her. We have a ton in a common, but we argue a lot.  I love her a lot and I’ll do anything for her but I just feel like we are growing apart. Even though every time I feel like I’m done with her, I just keep going back to her. What does this mean? I love this girl to death, she is the reason why I breathe, she makes me smile, but I still feel empty.

Sincerely,

I Love To See Her Go, But I Hate To Watch Her Leave.

Dear I Hate To Watch Her Leave,

Arguing is a part of life and a part of relationships. Think about your family, do you like them all the time? No, not really. The closer you are to someone the more likely you are to bump heads. On the other hand, every relationships isn’t meant to last a lifetime. If you feel like you need some time and space, take it. Maybe you really are growing apart if you feel empty and need time to figure things out or decide to move in a different direction. Or maybe you’re not ready for a real relationship. You can love someone and not be with them. It’s certainly not the end of the world. This is your time for self-discovery- and that includes choosing a romantic partner. Take time out to figure out what you want out of life and give her time to do the same. What’s meant to be, will be. Also, I’m sure you missed a few assignments stressing over some girl. Graduation is the motive, not marriage (yet)! Just kidding, but follow your heart.

Signed,

Your Peer
