i don't know if this belongs in a sexuality thread. but here goes.

I've been with my girlfriend for 5 months now. i love and care for her more than i have any other person i can remember. and she feels the same way. but we're having problems. like every fucking day. and it's all because of college and standardized testing.

yeah fucked up, right?

we've been fighting because she hasn't gotten the score on a graduate school admissions test she needs yet. she's one of the most hardworking people i know, determined, disciplined, and a good student. and i truly believe she'll be fine. but for some reason, she keeps arbitrarily telling me how we shoudln't be together because she's second to me, and she's inferior to me because i scored higher on that test than she did. she'll say how i don't care, how i could get someone better, etc. and i end up arguing about why us being together has nothing to do with this damn test.

basically everyday i try to be there for her as much as i can (we don't go to the same university, so i don't get to see her all the time) i listen to her rant about her problems and i bend over backwards to try to see her as much as i can. but she overreacts to any little thing, and then it'll lead back to this mother fucking test.

i can't think straight right now, so i'll post more later. but from all this, any advice?
