My one and only girlfriend wants a lot of space after break-up
We've been together for 11 months, nothing wrong with the relationship, and she's broken up with me 3 times, thus far. She can't complain about me, can't find anything wrong with me. Claims I'm the perfect guy for her. Can't give me a direct answer as to what it is I did wrong or what we are missing.
However, after our most recent break up, we never got together and she has asked for space. It's serious this time, she says she doesn't want to be together and that we cannot be in contact for a full week. That failed, I went over yesterday, we went out for supper, had a great time, cuddled, had "fun", and talked about it a bit. The next day she's completely cold again and remains firm on the one week space rule.
She claims she wants to have kids with me, wants to marry me and be with me but tells me she cannot at the moment because she doesn't know what she wants and believes she shouldn't be tied down at her age to one single relationship (this is each others first serious and meaningful relationship).
Why does she want this? Why is she doing this? And why do I have the hardest time giving her space without contact? My life revolved around her, so to come home and not be able to be with her is a complete slap in the face, in the sense where my life is in a disorder.
I know it gets better with time, people say you move on, blah... blah... blah... however I feel as though you can only truly love once. And she's that one true love. I feel as though anyone who follows afterwards (if it happens) would never be the same. She's set the bar, and I don't see it any other way nor do I want it any other way.
She's different with her friends, and never let's me party or be with her when she's with her friends. However, I let her be with mine or do the same with me. She tells me she's also different and admits it, and says she's two different people when she's in a relationship and when she's not. I never deprived her from hanging out with her friends, but it seems like she's lacking that right now and feels as though if anything happens she'll be in a bad position and have no one to turn to.
What am I not seeing that you may see from reading this? I need your input from what you read briefly above. It's not the full story, but enough to understand the situation real quick.
