I'm just not sure how much of a future we will have together, as well as the more or less constant unhappiness that we're experiencing now. She's been accepted to go to grad school in Europe, and we currently live(not together) in Florida. There isn't a doubt in my mind that she will go, and I wouldn't begin to think about asking her to stay. We just got done being long-distance, with me at the other end of the state for the last year and half way across the country for training all fall. I don't think I can go back to long-distance while she pursues her masters, especially when she has no intention to return to Florida afterwards.

Emotionally, this relationship has been a roller coaster. Before we started officially dating, we twice tried to go through the "talking" phase, and I found out that she was still hooking up with other people while I was away. I know that that's not a horrible thing, since we weren't really together, but I've still never felt good about it. 

And now that I've been back in town and we've been able to see each other on a very regular basis for the last few months, it's been slowly going downhill. It seems that the only times we ever have fun together is when we're alone. Even then, half the time we're arguing about something that shouldn't be a big deal. We can't function as a couple in a public setting, not even around close friends. 

As icing on the cake, this relationship has become increasingly one-sided. Every time I talk to her she makes me feel like I'm obligated to buy her things and do more for her, but I'm damned if I have the nerve to ask for anything in return. Add that to my already guit-ridden nature, and I feel trapped in a relationship that I'm not sure about with with no recourse. Most of our local friends are mutual friends, and the one or two friends I could talk to about this are all bleeding hearts that constantly bring up how devastating it would be if we broke up every time I'm noticeably down about something. So you're all I've got, Reddit. I'm just looking for a little advice.
