Some background: I'm a senior in high school, currently set to graduate a month from now. This is my 2nd relationship after being single for a year.

My girlfriend and I have been dating for over 2 months now, and everything seemed okay at first. We have good chemistry, I enjoyed the time we spent together and everything *should* be great.

But for some reason, it doesn't feel alright. The first month was fine and everything, but the past few weeks I've had a growing feeling of doubt and discomfort. I miss spending time with my friends more and more and I'm growing more protective of my free-time. I've post-poned dates for this very reason. There's still over a month of school left, so we'd be seeing each other constantly no matter what but it just felt like she wanted to spend time 24/7 that I felt trapped. I've realized just how much I valued my own time to put towards working on my future career and personal goals, time I don't have anymore because I'm in a relationship.

I started to learn that this wasn't something I needed right now and I made a bad decision of going headstrong into it, and I feel that it's unfair to her because I'm not in it 100% since I also want to focus on my own ambition. The fact that I'm going to move out of town and graduate soon also contributed to this.

I feel like breaking up is for the best, but I don't know how it's going to affect her because she wouldn't see this coming and she's a lot more invested in this than I am. I'd feel guilty for leading her on if I kept this up however, so I don't know if doing this right now is the best decision, or if I should put it off until we can sit down and talk about where this is going once I'm gone. I realize I'll look like an asshole to her and her friends either way, but I know that I'd be much happier if I didn't have to split my time between my life and our relationship.
