Sorry for the long post, but a little back story is needed…
I began to see a girl I work with. She is 25 with a 3 year old son. I’m 32 with no childern. She had been separated from her ex for about a year prior to us going out. Their relationship ended because he became abusive with her one night. She has been raising her son by herself since.
Our relationship started out great, but from the very beginning she informed me that her ex was trying to get back into her life. Our relationship progressed steadily for about a month and a half before we became intimate. After the first time she mentioned that she was not sure if this is what she wanted, but we continued with the relationship. A few weeks passed and things could not be better. We had an amazing weekend together and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Not even 72 hours after our last weekend together she told me that we were on different pages. This was too confusing for her and that she did not want a relationship right now. Her actions and words prior to this were to the contrary, but she did say once or twice that my timing could not have been worse. She told me if she wanted a relationship with anyone it would be me.
I have tried to give her her space, but since we work together that is nearly impossible. All in the all the relationship lasted a little more than two months. It has been almost four months since we stopped seeing each other. I still want to see her, her attitude and demeanor towards me has changed completely.
I need some help. If it’s possible for me to get her back, how do I go about doing it? If that’s not possible, how can I get over this? I’ve dated other people since, but my focus is still on the ex. Suggestions, brutal honesty, advice…I’ll take anything right now – please!
