<human>: Throwaway.
I really need some help figuring out a lot of emotions I'm having right now. Any help would be appreciated. 

My girlfriend and I have been dating long-distance for a year. We only get to see each other every few months and it really fucking sucks. I'm working and not going to college for another 8 months, while she is still in school.

We've been having these hurtful discussions and near break ups because she wants to have the freedom to act on her feelings. She has been unspecific about what entails, and has no one even in mind. All i know is, if she has the feeling to kiss, have sex - or follow a feeling with another person; that she needs the freedom to do so. And that obviously hurts me, as i feel very monogamous - even far away. 

But the reality of it is, there is no way in hell we are giving each other up. She made it clear that we'll be best friends, lovers and each others number one. She also made it clear that feelings turning into actions with other people, they are purely for fun. 

This whole concept is really hard for me to understand and cope with. It's obviously healthy to be open at our age (not to get over our heads), but keep each other close at the same time. I don't even know if she will get anywhere with anyone else, but the fact that it's in her mind, and in the future, scares me. 

I have extreme jealousy, and I hope people can relate to that. It's not "cheating", but she's not my one and only girl anymore. We're still us, and we're still special. But other connections she wants to form make me feel a million times less special. 

Thank you so much for any help or feelings you can share. I'm scared for the future.
