Last night my girlfriend of 4 years dropped a bomb on me, and broke up with me. Her reasoning is that in her head I am the perfect guy, but her heart just isnt there at the moment. Keep in mind she is only 18 years old, and I am a few years older. This both of ours longest and serious relationship.
Today, after a few texts, I learn it is a break she wants. Understandable, she is young and we spend a ton of time together (at least 5 days a week). Here are some text quotes from today:
"I'm not looking for anyone else. I am looking for myself. Youve become such a part of me I dont know who I am anymore and what I want".
"I want to spend my summer with you. Listening to music. Camping. Just us. But my heart needs a break. I just need time away".
"If you can take me back you can have me when im ready".
"I ****ing love you. I do. But its not fair to myself or you. So yes I need a break".
I 100% believe her that she wants a break, and I can understand that. My feeling is that she wants to go out and have some fun, before being restricted to one guy forever.
I called her and told her I loved her this morning, and she said it back to me. She promised we will get back together, she just wants time.
Additionally, she has kept all of our pictures up on Facebook, same with all the comments that I left on her page. Just removed the relationship status.
Will this whole get back together thing really happen? In my mind and my heart I hope so, I know this girl is the one I want forever. I would put a ring on her finger if we were older.
Also, I really want to send her flowers but still give her time. Just to remind her that I care. How long should I wait?
