<human>: I've been dating her for a year and a half. She is my first serious girlfriend, and when we started I saw us ending up together. She's looking at nursing schools outside the state, and I'm working. We've had some rough months recently with some arguments and just generally getting on each others nerves. This has lead to a riff with us being together all the time like we used to because I now see it as a struggle. We're also just generally not doing as many fun things together. Part of is schedule, I work until around 8pm during weekdays and always work Saturday's (1 day off a week usually Sunday). She told me last night she isn't happy, and she blames me for not putting any effort in. I know what she's saying because it's true, but not because I don't love her, I just feel tired in the relationship because it's gone cold somewhat. 

This girl is special and I love her more than anything, but a part of me feels like I need to let her go in order to see if it's the real thing. I'm afraid if I do that she'll move away and I won't see her again. I'm sure you're going to say that's the risk and you have to decide, but it's tough...any help is appreciated.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Girlfriend and I are in a tough spot in our relationship. Need some advice on how to move forward or if letting go is the best option.
