text: i am way too attached to my girlfriend, it's at the point where i need her, how do i break it off? i've been through this before with women, i start to give myself to a girl and allow myself to become emotionally attached to her and she either cheats on me or breaks up with me and it devastates me for months afterward. i won't let it happen again  i've been dating this girl for over a year, she is 20, i am 24. we are completely 100% in love, i am so completely attracted to her, i can't even look at or think about other women, it's crazy. we cuddle and hold each other all day, and i love it. our love hasn't died down at all in the year we have dated, we act the same way we did when we first started dating. when you look at us, you wouldn't think we had spent 12 months with each other, more like a few weeks, but it's true, she is perfect and she thinks i am perfect.   i need to break it off quick, i foolishly allowed myself to become emotionally attached to her and if she did something to hurt me i don't know what i would do, i need to just end this before i can give her that chance. i think you have got the best thing one can ever get! why do u want to lose it? u can be strong and in love at the same time. so u wont get hurt if she does something bad to you. i hope she doesnt but this sounds a very nice and happy friendship! keep it boy!
