Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So I (m17) had a brief discussion with my girlfriend (f18) about college and how she has opportunities to go to a different college than me.

We're really close and have been together for quite some time and I believe we are extremely involved in eachothers lives. 

I am restricted financially and going to a local college would be the best option for me and I don't really think that leaving would be a good choice for me. She got accepted into a college that she really likes, but it's quite expensive. 

She asked me if I would be okay with her leaving and I just said I would be okay with whatever she did if it made her happy. 

She now thinks I don't care about her or love her enough to be selfish and tell her that I don't want her to leave. I don't want to restrict her from opportunities in life. 

Am I the asshole?
