My now recent 'ex' told me that she didn't feel like she could handle a relationship right now as she is going through so much stress, and she feels that she is hurting me in turn. I've told her that she is not hurting me though I want to respect her wishes, though I don't know what I should do at this point in time. I want to be there for her, be beside her side and hold her hand through these rough times, if she cannot handle a relationship at the moment being friends is the best alternative right?
We didn't 'break up' per se, though we are dropping the boyfriend-girlfriend tag for a bit, I know she still cares about me and I still care about her very much. So is there still a chance for me to be with her?
