Well, I am single again. My girlfriend and I decided to break up. We broke up 2 weeks ago but decided to give it a second go. I really wanted to work on the relationship, but she needed space. Loving her, I said ok. We saw each other a couple of times a week. Usually Wed nights and weekends. We were getting along great, but she was not the same person she was before. I couldn't say "I love you", "I miss you", "I am thinking of you" or anything like that because it was too deep. She wouldn't really hug or kiss me too often, but I was being patient. Today she made plans to do stuff during the day, and I was going to do housework. I asked to see her later on and she didnt know if that was possible. We got into a discussion about us and realized that we were at a standstill. I really wanted to work on us, I was so excited to have her in my life. She really needed space, and couldn't give me the reassurance I needed. I rely on hugs and kisses to let me know she cares, and I try to do the same for her. I really dont want to lose her, but I have my own needs. And I know she doesnt want to lose me, but cant give me what I need. This is a brief synopsis, its much deeper than this. I guess my biggest fear is that I am going to go back to being the solitary person I was. Before her, there were three years in between girlfriends. I really thought I had found Mrs. Right. My therapy has really opened me up to what love has to offer and now it is gone. I really miss her, but I feel deep in my heart it had to be done. I really need to work on myself and get my head straightened out. We both rushed into this relationship. I dont know, I am sad, and relieved at the same time. I want a family so bad. Now I am just rambling, I am sorry. Thanks for listening and any support you can give.
