I had a fight with my girlfriend of 5 months on Sunday about some awful things I said to her on Saturday night that I cannot remember saying because I was way too drunk.
(FYI I do not have a drinking problem, I haven't drank heavily in a long time and we were at a wedding and I simply did not know my limits. It will never happen again and that is not an issue.)
The summary is that we have never had anything like this happen before, we both love each other, she says she realizes I didn't mean to say any of it and that it was a small blip in an otherwise wonderful relationship thus far. However she is worried that there is something more I'm feeling about her that I am not telling her because she believes you speak the truth when drunk. I have assured her over and over that the words were meaningless and I have nothing but loving feelings for her, which is 100% true. The words really came out of nowhere. I have no recollection of thinking them or even saying them.
Her last words to me (via text) in summary were I have made her the happiest she has ever been but now have also made her the saddest. Part of her wants to just move on and forget it happened because she knows it was way out of character and won't happen again. But part of her keeps replaying them and it hurts her so much to think about what I said. She said she just doesn't know what to do going forward.
I wrote her a letter which she received last night. In summary I took full responsibility, apologized a lot, went into great detail about how horrified I am by my actions, swore it would never happen again and told her how I would prevent it, told her she is my world and I am a wreck, I told her I would give her space.
I now haven't heard from her since her last text 2 and 1/2 days ago. My gut says this is a bad sign and she won't be able to get past it. But then I also think its possible that if she was going to end our relationship over this she would have done it sooner, and more immediately than this.
Is is a bad sign that she is taking this long to decide?
