Sometimes you don't get it right the first serious relationship. Or the second. Or the third. And that's okay.

I believe you when you say you love her... but love doesn't conquer all and it doesn't solve everything. Love can outlast a relationship or die long before one ends. But you try anyway, because otherwise it's not worth loving somebody.

My advice, take a break from this girl. Longer than a few days. Months. Date around, when you've had the necessary recovery time (can be a long time after the first serious relationship). If you still feel like you want to try again, if it's feasible and you feel like you're both more mature, go for it. But know that relationships that end once often end at least once again when those people get back together.

One of my closest friends is my first girlfriend from high school where things didn't work out, repeatedly, over the on and off freshman and sophomore years we dated. I thought I loved her then. But the relationship we have now is infinitely more satisfying than when we dated... we just needed a year or two afterward to clean our wounds.
