Why did my girlfriend break up with me due to her depression?
My girlfriend had been acting quite different the last week before she broke up with me. Her texting was irregular: she would be very slow with replies, and sometimes I would not get a reply at all. She would not be very affectionate at all, though it was on and off. She was going through some very hard things, and I knew about her depression, but in the back of my mind, I knew something wasn't right. After our third month, and me giving her gifts and writing a poem for her, she breaks up with me the day after. Her reasoning is that she is depressed and she doesn't want me to be involved with her right now. This was a pretty weird excuse for me, so I asked if there was another guy she was talking to, or if she just became bored with me. She said no, and that it's "all her" and not me. According to her, she still likes me, and when I told her I was already trying to move on, she seemed very upset. We are currently staying friends and we text still (but not as much). I would love for us to get back together because we made each other very happy. She is sending me very confusing signals, because earlier today at school she came up and hugged and kissed me on the cheek, and also became upset when she noticed I had cut the bracelet she gave me off my wrist. Also, I asked her if she thinks we will ever get back together, and she said she doesn't know for sure because she just doesn't know how much time she needs to herself to deal with things. My questions are.. Should I give this time? Does she really still like me? Should I quit texting her or seeing her in school (even though she is the one that approaches me at times)? I am sure of it that she is quite depressed, because she told others the same reasons, and she has been acting so strange.
