Am I losing the love of my life?
Hi. I'm Trevor. I'm in love.
I had been steadily dating my girlfriend for about two years, she is the most wonderful, special, and beautiful person I have ever met. We have never had a single argument or fight during our entire relationship, and we see each other basically every day. She's the first thing that pops into my head when I wake up, and she's still running through my head when I go to sleep. I have never been happier in my entire life than when we were together. We would often talk about our future together, and she would always tell me that I was the only person for her, and that she would love me forever.
Recently, about a week and a half before Christmas, she sat me down before I left her house on this particular night, and told me she needed a "break." She said that she needed time for school and for her job, and that she still loves me, and that I'm the "most caring selfless person she's ever met." As she was telling me this, I couldn't help but feel like it was actually really over, and that this was her way of letting me down easily. She started to give me a lot of my things back from her place, and I tried to keep it cool and not say too much or do anything stupid. She also says she still wants to be friends, and wants to spend time with me as friends, and we have been recently. I just get so many mixed feelings and I'm so terribly worried that I might lose the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life.
Is it just a break? Is there anything I can do? Please help. I can't seem to enjoy anything, or eat right, or sleep, or work without my mind running on overdrive the entire time, I feel like I'm going insane.
