"If she wants attention she should go somewhere else".
You really said that? Oh boy.

Let me pass along some hard-earned information:
Women do want attention. Sometimes a lot, sometimes just a little but they want and need to know you are interested in and care about them, especially after two years 'together'. I'll bet you gave this girl a lot more attention the first few months you were dating.

The problem with dating someone at 16 and keeping it going for two years (or longer) is that one or the other gets bored and starts taking the other person for granted, leading to break-ups and hurt feelings. This looks a lot like your scenario.

It's not just about going to some party or telling her what time you got home. It's not even about trust anymore. It sounds as if she really is worried about losing you as you mature and her fears take the form of badgering you about who, where, when, etc when you aren't with her.

It's a dumb way to keep you but she obviously doesn't know what else to do so take it as a signal and don't get mad or annoyed but understand that your long-time girlfriend has feelings and fears as well as hopes and dreams. She's not a buddy, she's a girlfriend - and she's 18. She needs to know you still want her and care about her. Tell her and more importantly, show her.

If, on the other hand, you just consider her a buddy with long hair and soft skin, then decide where you want the relationship to go and if you just want her as a handy date sometimes, be a man and tell her so; don't string her along and cause a lot of tears and arguments. Let her go.

Either way, you need to think hard about this girl and what you feel (or don't) for her and what you expect from the relationship. Then, you guys need to talk, seriously.
