Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can give me any advice bcoz im all out of ideas!
I split up with my girlfriend of 7 months about 5 or 6 weeks ago. When it happened it came as the biggest shock because there had never been anything wrong with our relationship and we get on amazingly well. We're both at university so spent the summer apart, but we met up when we could and only 3 weeks before we split up we had spent a really nice day for our 6 month anniversary together. In fact, the last time I saw her before she split up with me, she told me she loved me as I left for home. Then on my first day back at uni, she broke it off.
Although were both at the safe university we study different subjects. She studies medicine while I study geography. Although my course has become a lot more difficult this year hers is obviously very difficult and shes the kind of person that gets naturally stressed. When she broke up with me she said that she had got so busy this year and having a boyfriend was just adding to her stress. i.e. the fact that she has to make time to see me and stuff. She also said that she had gone off the physical side of the relationship too. I told her that I loved her and I just wanted to support her, I was willing to give her as much space and time as she needed for her work and if she wasnt feeling up to the physical side of things I was fine to leave it for a while. She seemed to have her mind made up though and thought it was best that we split then rather than dragging it out, but she also said that maybe in the future when she was feeling better we might get back together.
After a couple of days of feeling like crap I accepted things and told her that I just wanted her to be happy and so if breaking up was what she needed then thats what we should do. I said I would leave everything up to her, if she wanted to do anything she should initiate it but i wouldnt pester her. We see each other on occassion when were out together and we still get on great (once i talked to her for about 2 hours at a club) but she never texts or rings me anymore. When i quizzed her on it she said that its because she misses me and just needs to forget me completely at the moment.
Trouble is, i cant see her workload getting any easier and all i want is her back. I still love her and havent even looked at another girl since and I'm sure she still has strong feelings for me too but im totally stumped as to what to do about it. I dont want to start trying to contact her because thats exactly what she doesnt want it seems, but if i leave her to forget me surely our relationship is doomed?
