Hi, my name is Nathan. My girlfriend recently broke up with me. We were together for 2.5 years and she broke up with me last week. She told me that she had been having these feelings that she was falling out of love with me. She said she started having these feelings about month ago. She told me she loved me but she did not want a boyfriend at this time in her life. I didn't understand and I tried to convince her that we could work things out, but she refused. I am 17 yrs old and she is 16. This is the first serious relationship for both of us. She told me that she wasn't sure if I was the right person for her and she didn't want to be serious with her. She wants me to be friends with her, but she doesn't think that we will get back together in the future. I love her so much and I don't understand why she is having these feelings. She used to want to be with me all the time and do everything with me, and she was so happy when she was with me. I know she used to love me, but now she says she loves me, but she isn't "IN LOVE" with me. I have read some previous posts on this site and realized that many girlfriends seem to feel this way when the relationships last 2 or 3 years. Some people have siad that the girlfriend will often need to experience being apart from the one she loves to once again realize that she is in love with, and needs that guy in her life. I want her to love me like she used to, but I don't want to push her out of my life if it will destroy our friendship.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
