I've been dating the same girl for about 2 years now. We were close, we were comfortable with each other, we had fun. I took her viriginity and she was my first major long-lasting relationship.

Recently, though, i was facing a dilemna. I'm planning to study abroad next semester, and our relationship was casual enough that we had mutually agreed to consider my time out of the country 'off' time for both of us.

BUT, I felt that our relationship had pretty much run its course, and I knew things would never be the same after I got back, and I told her so. Can you guess her response?:

"Oh yeah, I know. Look, why don't we keep going out until you leave, and then when you get back we can just be friends with benefits."

What did I do right? Hell if I know

The sex was good. That's what you did right. But that's probably all that was good.
Precisely. What you think you did "right" was probably just not being a totally great partner in the relationship. That's expected though since you already thought it was dismal.

But good job for getting a FB!

'Dismal'? What are you people talking about. It was a veyr good relationship, but two years is a long time. If you're not getting married, there's a limit, no?
 

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.

You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.
