Difficult/Interesting Break Up -- Do I Keep Hope?
My girlfriend and I just broke up on February 1st, and this was one of the hardest things ever for me. For 2 weeks prior I had noticed she had been acting differently (not really finding much time to see me, sometimes she was excited when she saw me, other times she wasn't etc.). Finally, one day she came to visit me and said she couldn't keep doing his anymore and that to be fair to me she had to end it. She and I had always had a very open and honest relationship, so I began asking some questions..
1) Do you want to see other guys? - No, she didn't want to see any other guys.
2) Did I do something wrong? - No, I was the best boyfriend possible for her.
3) Did I not give you enough space? - She said she liked the space I gave her, giving her a chance to hang out with her friends.
Friends had seen her out at parties dancing with other guys and such, but that was part of the relationship that I accepted. We never had a problem with it. Just the other night, I was talking to her and she told me that she didn't want to date any of the guys she was dancing with, and she admits she still is having a hard time with things.
I asked her again, "so, why really did you break up with me?" and she tells me that she wasn't sure why.. it just felt right at the time. She admitted to pushing me aside for the 2 weeks prior to our breakup, but didn't know why.
At times we would get in small arguments during our relationship. It lasted almost a year, but it was very good most of the time. We still talk but it is still awkward. She has admitted to crying numerous times over the past 2 weeks about things that have happened, and admitted to me she can't even focus in school about things.
She still has my pictures up around her room, still sleeps with stuffed animals I gave her, and more.
It's tough because I don't know what to think. Am I giving myself false hope? Is there a chance for me and her to get back together? Can anyone help?
