This might get long but here goes..
It started 3 and a half years ago. This girl, despite being a few years younger than me, became attracted to me, pushed for me, and got me.
We're both from christian backgrounds, but her family (particularly her mother and step sister) are VERY protective of her, so we didn't tell them about us but kinda dated in secret.
We would literally talk online all day, and when we weren't online we'd be texting. We'd go out with friends once or twice a week to see each other, and they all could see we were such a unique and inseparable couple, a perfect match. All of this happened under the radar of her family and people connected to her family, who assumed we were just best friends.
So, three years down the line. All is good still, we still talk loads (probably not as much as we first did, but still a lot), still go out with friends etc. For all that time she'd been preparing for when the day came to tell her parents, knowing she'd be in for a battle.
That one day came, her mother started questioning her and she felt was the right time to reveal to them that she liked me. She hit the roof. "HES NOT FOR YOU!" "HES UGLY!" "YOU CAN DO BETTER!", all the usual. Things got heated, she panicked, and broke up with me.
We were both distraught, she begged for me back the next day, so I agreed, on the fact that she battled her parents and made it okay for us to hang out/talk still. She told me that she'd made a 'deal' with her parents that if she still liked me by the end of the year they would let her date me.
That was about 4 months ago, and things have been hell. I feel like I have to force her to talk to me, most of her texts are just quick replies, she rarely wants to talk online much, I hardly EVER see her. Even on the rare times we are able to both hang with friends things seem awkward.
I've seriously thought about dumping her so many times, at least once every week since then. I don't feel she loves me anymore, and everytime I speak to her about it she admits shes been distant and says she'll try harder, but 3 hours later she's back to her old self. She tells me she does love me and couldn't imagine things without me, but I feel I'm at a dead end with her.
I think she's terrified of her parents to be honest. This whole thing has had me depressed for months. I feel Im pinned down and I find it hard to believe anything will happen come end of the year, but do I wait? Or do I just split?
