    GF needs a break
    My girlfriend of 5 months needs a break. She said she needs time to think things through. She complains that I never appreciated here even though I was always there for her except these last 3 weeks whereby I'm back in my hometown for my term break. We still call and text each other mind. She said its for the best and that she still loves me and said we should still contact each other everyday. I'm just confused. What does she want? Does she want to end it or does she need space for growth as she said?

    Relationships can be very fickle. I'd recommend asking her the same questions your asking us, because if you do want it to work you're going to have to be willing to communicate. It's good that she's voicing her thoughts and maybe she's waiting for you to reciprocate with similar ideas or suggestions. Worse comes to worse, you could always go to couples counseling which I've always found very helpful.

    If she wants space give it to her. If you call her, send her emails, text her you will be doing the exact opposite of what she wants. Which will make her think that you do not respect her wishes. Leave her be when she is finished thinking she will contact you. What she said she needs and is doing is exactly what she needs what she is doing. Any push from your end will cause more problems. She may not be thinking about ending it but if you push she may in fact decide to end it.

    During this break why don't you think about what's been going on in this relationship to cause this break.

She wants a break [ 19 Answers ]
