[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And on the other hand, my roommate dumped her long-distance boyfriend midway through fall semester, freshman year. That was very common among people in my dorm. Leave it up to her.[/quote]

Haha, was just about to post my story about how I broke up with my high school boyfriend midway through fall semester freshman year. Having that distance can give a certain amount of clarity -- either you miss the person and what you're giving up to be with them doesn't feel like much of a sacrifice, or it does feel like a sacrifice and you end up breaking up because you don't want to make it. For now, I'd tell her that if she's enjoying the relationship, there's no need to make big decisions now. Make those big decisions when your emotions tell you to, because there are stories that turn out every which way.[/quote]

+1  They will figure it out as they go along. There is no reason to have a clean break if their feelings are not supporting it. It will work itself out as time passes and the decision really needs to be made by them and no one else. [/quote]
