    Should me and my girlfriend separate?
    I have been going out with my girlfriend for 3 months now. Things have moved very quickly and I don't think there have been more than 5 days where we haven't seen each other. I have been suffering from depression for the past 2 years and believe that she doesn't have to deal with my issues, though she insists to know everything on my mind. Both of us are very affectionate toward each other yet I am apparently very insecure about how I feel about myself. We are both in our final years at high school.

    2 months previous to our relationship, she apparently got around a fair bit and due to this, I am afraid of her going out into town and drinking at the risk of her getting drunk and cheating on me.

    I do not know what to do, whether we are 'smothering' each other and whether we should separate for the greater good seeings I do not believe that she should have to deal with my problems. We both love each other and have said so hence I want the best for her which I believe is us separating as she deserves better in my opinion.

    Alex, it isn't like you have a debilitating disease and you life is in jeopardy so you don't want her to be stuck with you. That isn't it. Many people have depression issues, take medication, and get on with their lives in a good relationshiip with another person.

    You are talking about her going out before you two got situated. From what you say your health issues are important to her and she wants you to be happy, this is the way it should be if two people care for each other. Accept that and I hope you haven't discussed ending the relationship with her. You would be throwing away a chance at happiness.
