Last night I had some dream about my girlfriend that made me anxious. Either she was flirting with someone or doing something of the sort. I'm getting really worried about how I still get anxious sometimes when I think of her. Then I realized that it probably is because she is still a bit immature, especially socially. Her "best friends" don't even seem to like hanging out with her. It's like she wants the best, despite how the best makes her feel. Her friend Heather seems to be more on her wavelength (or maybe that was just my impression), but she would rather hang out with Tricia or Alex, who seem to care little about her or her company. And of course, I think about that personally. What if I'm not the best? I know I'm not, there's always better. And that makes me afraid, considering the way she seems to view most of her relationships. We're great together, but she still wanted to sleep with other people. (A long story. Basically, she wanted to have an open relationship while she was away for the summer, but I couldn't deal with that. She agreed she wouldn't do anything after a lot of talking.) And of course, I'm sure she still does want to sleep with others, even though she says she won't. I just don't want to confront her with this because I don't want to say anything about how her friends see her because I could be totally wrong. But I'm so happy with her most of the time that this anxiety is really messing with me. I wish I could just give her the benefit of the doubt mentally as well as verbally. Any advice?

It is up to her to find her own path with friendships. Probably not a sound idea to come between them, even if your perception is on point, at this very moment, your future with her could be jeopardized for such a discussion.

Is there a reason she wanted to keep her options open this summer? Will you and her be able to visit one another? It sounds promising that she'd respect the relationship. Guess it's a test of trust?
Thanks for this!
