The oh so rare "girlfriend asked for space" situation
Hello
I guess I'm writing this out of desperation. My girlfriend, who I've happily been with for 7 months, met me today personally asking for a break, claiming she needs space.
I am so confused, and It's the reason I'm writing here. She's the most perfect girl I could have met. We never (and I mean never) had any fights, got along perfectly, loved each other dearly, met almost everyday. When we weren't spending our days together, she would miss me to death (her words). I was very optimistic for this relationship since everything seemed perfect.
I'm not new with relationships. Dated some girls in the past, know that you can't be too clingy (most of the times, she was the one asking me to go out), always let her do whatever she wants and we really trusted each other. We got jealous from time to time, but nothing serious, I guess the occasional jealousy isn't prejudicial. I don't know what to say, it was just perfect. She was the best girl I ever met, the best thing that happened in my life.
And then this happened. Like that. Bang. Before she left, she said she loves me, and even gave me a kiss before leaving. I guess she has some problems in her life that she needs to solve, that's all. However, that doesn't make it any easier to swallow.
I know what to do. All the no contact stuff. I guess I'm just writing this to blow off some steam and hear some advice or whatever... All I want is her to get back, so I can hug her, kiss her, make love to her, fall asleep together, wake up in the morning cuddling and fooling around. Now all I can do is cry and think about her all the time, although I know I really should focus on my own life. I am completely broken.
Sorry for the long speech. And I'm 20, in case you ask.
