Girlfriend taking a break. To talk or not to talk

kctiger · Apr 30, 2009, 06:33 AM

Leave her alone. Forget the two weeks, YOU DON'T contact her at all. This was her bed to undo, so if she wants to fix it, she will be the one responsible for doing so. You can experience plenty in life as a couple, you don't need to break up to do it. I am sorry for your loss, but I will say that breaking up with my ex was the BEST thing that ever happened to me as a person. Read the stickies on this forum. We are here for you, and we ALL know how hard this is.

Well I appreciate the fact that there are forums such as this. I've gone through a break up that people would think is ten times worse, but mentally, this one is the hardest for me. I guess one of my problems is, I never showed her my complete true emotions all the time. I tired to keep them in, because I too thought we were young and I wanted to have a fun relationship and just go with the flow. She talked about the future and I would listen and acknowledge the fact, until eventually I gave in and I too discussed the future. She's in a sorority with her sister. All of whom, have serious relationships. Her best friend pops in and out of relationship in search of commitment. I just wonder if it's outside influence or if its something else. She doesn't seem like the cheating type. I just want to have her back in my life. Trying to figure out the best course of action to do so.

Give it two weeks, and see how you feel. But for gosh sakes, act single, and enjoy it. You think she won't?

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to take it in strides and do stuff that keeps my mind off of it.

You're lucky that you both are still able to let in 2 weeks to clear the thoughts and mind. My girlfriend says she wanted to be friends with me and MAYBE good friends but the fact that she isn't interested in replying any of my text anymore. Work it out !

God bless you! GODDDDDDDDD !

She wanted space, so I decided to give her, her space. Thankfully, she goes to school 30 minutes away and I don't see her on a daily basis. After the two weeks, she'll be back at work, unfortunately, a place we both work at :/

That's how she came up with the two weeks I guess. Just leave it at that. Do your own thing until the day you see each other again.

A friend of mine told me, if she truly cares, She'll call you before the two weeks. If by the two week mark she doesn't call you to meet up, you have to call her, then you already know what is to come of you two in the end. Sad, but true. In a way, I'm kind of dreading getting to that point.

I know it sucks, but you can't force someone to like you. You've been together for a year, so she probably knows you really well. There's not much more you can do. Just hope for the best. Keep yourself distracted so that you don't feel so much pain.
