My GF of 9 months dropped a bomb on me 2 weeks ago.
"I'm just not sure if I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Followed by the email the following day:
"You are so wonderful, amazing, blah blah the only misgiving I have about this relationship is that I'm not sure it should last forever."
She said she had been dealing with these doubts for a while.
I wasn't sure about forever either, actually. But I still loved her.
So she asked for a break and space to figure things out.
I have not contacted her for two weeks. She hasn't contacted me either.
Now I'm just treating it as over. We were perfect together except for the age difference, I'm 29 she's 22. I get the sense of what she wants -- to go out and be 22 and have fun. But it doesn't hurt any less.
Any good tips on moving on? I rely heavily on a clear head for work, but am stuck in such a paralyzing funk I'm worried it could negatively impact my job.
