Thanks or the responses.

Just so you know, I posted that so many people said we were made for each other because that has never happened to either of us in previous relationships. I guess that was just to point out that we are so very similiar, not that we are not meant to break up.

Yes, I know that I am overprotective and trying to slow her growth...I'll be the first to admit that. Thats the way its been since we were together, I just feel awful when she does things on her own. This has never happened with girls in the past and I guess that is because my GF is more independent then any other girl I know. I look at it in a negative way is that she is such a sweet girl that I don't want anything to happen to her, which is wrong, I know.

I went to make an appt with a counselor a few weeks ago and there is a 2-week wait, which I thought was just ridiculous, so I didn't go. I suppose I will just have to get on the waiting list.

Thanks for the replies, I will try to post updates.
