My girlfriend broke up with me a few days ago. She did it online and told me to make it easier for me and to prevent me from suffering I should delete her from my life. Take her off my facebook, delete her number etc. So that we are not even friends. I told her I didn't want to do this because I still want to see her and be friends.
She said if I didn't do it she would do it for me.
I'm finding it harder to cope now knowing I will never see her again because she was a really good friend and I don't want to lose a friend as well as a girlfriend. I told her this, but I don't think she's listening.
I didn't hurt her in our relationship it ended because we had become distant and she claims even though she still loves me and wanted to give me another chance she had learnt to let go of me.
She always sed if we ever did break up she would want to remain friends and be civil around each other, but somethings changed and I don't know what.
I'm not sure whether she's trying to make me hate her (I don't) so that I get over her or if she's doing this to make it easier for her because she still has feelings for me and can't bear to see me.
She's only 18 and I think I'm her first serious boyfriend and some people I've spoken to said she's being a bit immature about this.
I was hoping for some female advice on maybe what she's thinking and if there is anything I could do or say to make her reconsider.
Oh and I know it's not because she hates me because I asked her that and she said she didn't (unless she was lying)
It feels like her intentions are good, but it's making it harder.
