Dear Dolly,
I’ve been with my girlfriend for almost 2 years now, but recently she’s started being really distant, it’s like she doesn’t care anymore. She is leaving for college at the end of the year and although we said we would try long distance, I don’t know if she wants to keep it going. Is it me? What do I do?

Dear Anonymous,
2 years is a long time to suddenly not care anymore. You said yourself she’s going to college, she might be nervous about that, it is a huge step in her life. You say you’ve agreed to a long distance relationship, however I agree that she appears to be having doubts. College is a time for starting over, for meeting new people and making new experiences. She might be worried that your relationship could be holding her back and not allowing her to separate school from college. If you really do love her and want her to be happy, you’ll let her go and make her way into the world. Chances are, she probably still cares deeply for you and is distancing herself to make her departure easier for the both of you. Talk to her, support her, she might be holding back a lot more than she wants. At the end of the day, if it’s truly meant to be, then you’ll find each other again, but for now you need to let her have that college experience and find herself.
Best of luck,
Dolly
