This depends on the OP's target audience though. If the main plot is a romance, then it must pair with an ending + happily ever after for now since those are requirements of the genre. Now, if romance isn't part of the main plot (which it doesn't sound like it isn't), then that's a different tale altogether.
It's more of a coming of age adventure story than a romance. One of the central conflicts of the story is whether or not she's going to let herself be ruled by emotion or principle and the love triangle is a reflection of that. She has to choose between the man she knows is the "better" choice and the one she truly loves who she knows will betray her. In the end she decides she's prepared to enter a doomed relationship.
