I'm 19 and have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for about two years. However, I sometimes feel that my heart isn't in the right place. From time to time, I think about someone else, let's call her Avery.

Background story: We were very close friends during senior year (I graduated at 17, for the math wizards) and both had feelings for each other. However, I started dating someone else(my current gf) before we got the chance to try out a relationship.

The girl I'm currently dating—we've known each other since middle school (we weren't that close overall) and had a talking stage my freshman year. However, it didn't work out (I was young and dumb). Senior year we tried again, and it went great. It was a bit toxic at the beginning, but it's all gone great after that, and it's a very healthy relationship. Shes a great partner.

However, I still think about what could have been between me and Avery. I've never acted on it. Avery and I respect each other's boundaries and don't communicate much, but I don't know what to do. My girlfriend is going to a university three hours away in about seven months. I don't mind the distance, but I've been in my head for almost three months now. What do I do, and are there any advice?

TL;DR: I'm in a 2 year relationship but think about what couldve been with someone else I was really close with.
