Hey guys, I'm new here, but feel like I need more advice on my current situation. I will try to explain it as clear as possible.
I began a relationship on August 27th, 2012, up until now. The 20 months together were the best 20 months of my life; we even planned our futures together. We would have great times, and great moments. Just like any other relationship, we had arguments and little 'fights'. However, these arguments would start over little things; literally anything. These 'fights' would happen at least once or twice every couple weeks.
So 2 days ago, she dropped the bombshell; "I can't be with you", due to apparent trust issues. I trust her completely, and I love her just as much. She told me when she broke up with me, that she needed time (to think about things etc). She gave me a week, to act normal and to see of we couldn't argue, then if her mind changed she would consider getting back together (although she made it clear that it could potentially be more than a week for her to make her mind up). Me being completely loved up, accepted the offer without realizing the mountain I was about to climb.
We used to talk all the time, but now we barely speak. When I'm not speaking to her, she's all I'm thinking about. I can't get her out of my head.
What's the problem then, you may ask? Well when we aren't together, we both seem to not get on.
When we talk now, it seems that she isn't making any effort whatsoever, and that she often forgets that I exist. I understand why she is like this though; her mother is in hospital and potentially could be put in a wheelchair for life.
We talked on the phone last night, and she said that she hasn't really thought about 'us' a lot, due to her mother being on her mind, which is completely understandable as she (the mother's health) is more important than our relationship. She also admitted that she is slowly losing feelings for me. I asked of she misses me, and she replied, "A little bit yeah".
You may think that a week, 7 days, isn't a long time. But when you're thinking of everything over and over, each day drags.
Before this 20 month relationship began, I waited 3 months for his girl, and I don't wanna sound selfish but I am not prepared to wait another 3 months after I've spent such a long time bonding with her; falling in love with her. It was routine waking up next to her, speaking to her etc.
Now there isn't a routine, and I'm heartbroken.
There's the story, now here is my question:
Shall I wait indefinitely until she is ready for a relationship, or call it quits and end it all for good now?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated
