Young GF of 6.5 years breaks it off
Hey,
I have been reading through a lot of these threads trying to find one that is similar to my situation, but I couldn't really find it, I hope you guys could give me some sort of insight and advice or whatever.
This girl and I met when I was 16 and she was 14. I was a junior in HS and she was a Freshman. We would have been together for 7 years this June. I know this is not a common thing, and as I have just learned, was probably not too healthy.
I went away to school 2.5 hours away while she finished HS and we stayed together, faithfully, all four of those years until I just recently moved back last summer. What is strange is that we were happier when we wouldn't see each other for two weeks at a time while I was in school than we were recently. (absence makes the heart grow fonder etc... )
So today, she comes over and tells me she doesn't know/remember what it is like to not have someone else to please and just to focus on herself. I have to admit, I love this girl more than anything so you could only imagine that scene. She also says, and has said for a while that she never got to experience what normal girls experience at her age (21). I can see where she is coming from. Definitely. But it's not like I got to experience it either. I haven't flirted with another girl in 6.5 years. Seriously.
So here is why I am posting. I know everyone thinks that their relationship and their GF was THE ONE and they are in denial after the breakup, just like I am now hah. However, I truly believe that we do maybe have a future together and she says that she does too, and I realize she may just be saying that to let me down easy. But come on, 6.5 years? That is not normal for young kids and that is one reason why I think we may be different from every other couple, we had something incredibly special for so long and worked through so much at such a young age. What are your thoughts on all of this? I appreciate it, a lot.
May I also add that she has been going through tons of stress within the last month with school and money issues. Could this be a reason she is second guessing me right now?
