Hi guys! Ok here we go...
I don't know what to do anymore. My "EX" wants a break from me and from everybody in general. I love this girl so much.. I am 32 she is 34. I met her 9 months ago and we started a purely sexual relationship. After 3 months both feelings grew stronger and we started to develop love. We tried as boyfriend and girlfriend and everything was going well. The problem is she was going through a divorce. For awhile I thought I was a rebound but after several break ups on her part with me, she still says she loves me, but she needs time to get her head on straight. I admit I don't know what to do or how to handle this. Last week she asked to be my girlfriend again and we spent 5 great days together and everything was perfect. Then one night when I wasn't with her she had a bad dream about her ex husband. Everything changed with us again. The difference this time is she is now seeking therapy.
I was the one to push her to get concelling and she realises that sometimes. She has taken huge steps to get closure from this now. Now she says she wants a break from everything and has ended us again. She has bottled up totally, I no longer feel she appraciates me or has any feelings for rme anymore, yet she sometimes admits she does think about me when she is alone. She hardly calls me anymore. I ask her if she wants me to just give up and walk away like she hints, but she won't answer me. I don't know what to do, I feel she loves me and wants to love but I also understand she needs to refix her life. She has several trust issues yet says she trusts me. She says I am the first one to do a lot of things for her, like listen to her, encourage her to get help, do a lot of the things her ex and her ex boyfriends never use to do, she says this, yet still she breaks up with me. I admit she has been really honest in the past with me and I have listened to everything she told me, but I don't know if I can believe her anymore. She keeps telling me I know how she feels about me, yet I don't anymore because she no longer shows it. I feel like a kid again.
She has pusehd me so far away and I don't know why. I haven't been easy with this I admit, but I also haven't shown her I am panicking too much over the break up. She has no confidence and no emotional support right now, so for sure I don't want to abandon her like everyone else. I try to take the pressure from me away from her, yet I fear maybe its too late. When I say if its better I get out of her life she says maybe it is better for her, I say it's a yes or no question and she won't answer. She knows she is being selfish and I do understand she needs to be if she is to get better, I just don't know if I should let her go or just be there for her if she ever calls again.
I know this question is all messed up and everywhere because I am still processing everything, but if anyone has been in a similar situation a little insight would be great. I try to hate what she did but I just can't hate her. She gives me little sign of hope. She says she knows how amazing I am and she knows she can trust me, she knows my love for her is real, but still it doesn't seem enough to show her its OK. I feel if I stop calling she will forget me or jumpp to the conclusion I have moved on and forgotten her. I tell her I won't forget her and she feels pressure from this too! Her heart has turned to ice and being that I no longer know women anymore I don't know what to do with this one.
She trusts me, she's comfortable with me she says, she's attracted to me still she says but actions speak louder than words I tell her and right now she says she can't express anything to me. And she tells me she is keeping her feelings to herself right now. She's a good hearted person, she has been damaged, she IS the type to just tell me to screw off, but she won't... she won't tell them anything. I know her head is messed up and she is confused, but if there are any women out there... I need some advice.
