Girlfriend wants a break.how to accept it?
Me and my girlfriend have been dating for a little over 4 years now. We met when we were 18 we're now 22 yrs old. We have seen each other a lot over the course of our relationship at least 4-5 days a week and did everything together. Everything was fine but lately she has been saying that she feels different and said she wanted to take a break to figure things out and to be happy. She was starting to feel unhappy because we didn't really go out a lot on the wkends, not because we didn't want to, but just tired sometimes and ended up staying home. I have a feeling that she may be a little bored with our relationship and I understand and want to change. We have had these conversations before but things would change and then go back to normal. She says she still loves me but is not "in love" as much as she was in the beginning. It has been almost a week since she said she wanted a break. I have been pretty shocked and devastated, telling her how much I love her and how much she means to me. She has been going out wth her friends a lot, a lot more then when we were together. I have read that I shouldn't contact her but it is really hard because we have had troubles before and talked them out and remained together. I don't want to lose her and do not want to push her away during this time. I just want to be with her, and love her. She knows how I feel about her and I don't know what she is thinking in her head. She says that she isn't ready to see me yet but she will let me know. We talk on the phone every once in a while , but it is hard for me not to call her or text her. I don't have a lot of close friends to go out with, they are either up in school still or have gf's of their own. At work I don't work with any people my age to hang out. She was my everything and I don't want to lose her, should I keep fighting or just hold off for a while? Thanks for any help and advice.
