Hi,

I'm looking for some advise re: my ex girlfriend.

We recently broke up for the 6th time because she said she didnt feel loved and that our relationship wasn't going anywhere. I have been told by everybody, including her parents, that she will never find someone as patient as myself.

In the last couple of months she has been very irritable and has been speaking about marriage, children and the future. I'm about 3/4 of the way through building a house i bought for us to live in together. After our last break up, we both moved back to live our parents. My ex girlfriend is 35 and she has a history of suffering from psychosis, she has been hospitalised twice as far as i know, and was seeing a doctor and taking pills to help her cope. She stopped taking the medication, because she felt that she was ok, and stopped seeing her doctor. Now, we have broken up 5 out of 6 times for the same reasons. Every time it has been about her not being loved and she always says that if i loved her, i would have proposed by now?! I guess my reason for not proposing yet, is that i wanted things to be stable. I said something the other night that made her fly off the handle in a big way. She was talking about a friend of mine and his fiance. She said that they looked so happy together, and i replied, "that's why their getting married"! My girlfriend, or ex, got up from the table we were sitting at and stormed out to her car wanting to leave. When i asked her what was wrong, she said, "Well, you obviously don't love me, because you haven't proposed"! That happened last week, and this week we are not together anymore. We went from speaking multiple times a day to nothing!
Is it possible, as so many people have suggested to me, that she could still be suffering from effects of her past illness. I love and care for her deeply, but i'm at a crossroads at the moment, do i try and fight for what i want or do i let it go.
Does someone who's been through what she has, ever fully recover?
