Why is my girlfriend needing a break and what does it mean?
My girlfriend and I had been dating for a year and a half. Thanksgiving day, on our way home from her grandparents, she told me her mom thought that she should be single while starting college so that she could make new friends and focus on herself and her studies. She was reluctant but then decided her mother was right. She wanted a break and at first we were still intimate but now we aren't so much because it makes it harder for her to spend this time on just her and not with me... I need to know what to do? She continuously tells me she loves me and cares about me and that she still wants to marry me and have children with me but that it will have to wait a little while. Do I trust her? And what advice do you have? I know that everyone's relationship is unique and you don't know us personally, but when I look into her eyes I can read her like a book, and I know she still loves me and cares. What do I do?
