<human>: So, like the title said, this is my first-ever real relationship. We started dating in high school and remain together at Generic East Coast University (both sophomores).

Overall, I'd say the relationship has been good. There has never been cheating or even suspicion of it. No physical abuse to speak of. She wants to wait for marriage and I've done my best to respect that, so we've never done the deed.

So, what's the problem? My answer is, *I have no idea.* I know it's normal for the "honeymoon phase" to end, but since this is my first relationship, I don't know what it's supposed to feel like after that's over.

She says that I make her happy, but I truly don't feel like I do. She is the type of person who, despite being obviously upset, will typically deny it. When she's upset about something, it kind of adds an aura of "downness" to whatever activity we're engaging in. Other people, including my parents, have noticed this before.

Also, we've never had a serious discussion about marriage, and in our hometown/region it's pretty much expected to get married by 22 or 23, as weird as it is. I don't feel like I'll be ready to do so before like 24-25.

Lastly for now, in the first part of our relationships, she pretty much neglected her friendships to where she now has 0 friends other than me. She never was *too* close to them, but she literally has no support system other than me and her 57-year-old parents (only child, and her parents had her kinda late).

I just feel so lost overall. /r/relationships, help me please!

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: I don't know whether to break up with my first real girlfriend, despite there not being a tangible reason to do so.
