So about a week ago my girlfriend, 22yrs old, of 6 years broke up with me. She said she just felt like she was growing farther and farther apart. Here’s the backstory:
We’ve been through the long distance thing, college etc. When I moved up to college with her I immediately became depressed, but it didn’t affect our relationship while we weren’t living together. However when we did move in together, I did nothing but lay around, she supported me for a while, but I think that is what wore her down. She made a friend group, a life if you will, that didn’t involve me. That, in addition to, her perception of the person I was, I think, were two of the causes that contributed. She pulled away immediately after, staying out, not talking to me, and that lasted for about a week. We are forced to stay in the same house for two more months. I think she is seriously considering moving out of state to continue school. I have been doing better myself, getting out and doing things and generally being in a better mood. I’ve been leaving her alone. After she stopped ignoring me, now, aside from the occasional time she needs to herself, we still get along great. We talk, flirt, laugh, have intelligent conversations, and have a good time. She is the love of my life and I would do anything to get her back. I think, that after 6 years, there must be some part of her that still cares. I do realize I have my own self improvement to do. And I don’t mind slowly trying to show her the different person I am. But her moving throws a curve ball at me. Should I just let it go and hope one day our paths cross again? How should I utilize the two months left of her being in the same town as me if she does move. And how should I act/treat her if I do continue trying? Any advice is appreciated, I am so in love with her that, while I’ve come to accept and realize we may never be together again and she is her own person free to do what she wants, I’m still willing to do whatever it takes(not that I will let it hold me back from moving on and getting through the grieving process)
