Presuming you're approximately her same age, I would say the problem was more that she found someone who fit her current life and goals more than you. And if you did go through college and you're just that much older than her, she found someone who's life path is closer to hers than you. That's not snobby or elitist. We associate with people like us. That's a global we and a global us, and depending on where you put your priorities, that "us" might mean similar education, social strata, religion, race, hobbies, etc.
I think the reason long time relationships fall apart 3 or 4 months after people start college is because those priorities change and start to become more clear. It might suck, but who wants to be the same person, with the same friends, same hobbies, same outlook at 18 and at 25? Then you become THAT GUY who is still wearing his letter jacket at the bar on Saturday night wondering why the girls are all such bitches. That is of course not to say that's who you are. Hopefully you are also growing and changing, just maybe not in the same direction.
