<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I am going to college close to home (18) and my girlfriend (18) is going to college in NY (far away from home). We tried to break up about a week ago and had no communication for about 3 days, but we ended up texting each other and finding out that we both missed each other like crazy and had a very rough few days after the break up.

I've been dating her for about 6 months and I really don't want to lose her. Long distance is not appealing to either one of us and I know I cannot do an open relationship because I get jealous. We are truly stuck.

To the people who have been in my situation or a similar one, what did you guys do?...Is there any other way besides long distance/ open relationship? What else can we do? Breaking up would be the last and hardest option (not considering long distance or open).
