We have been together for 4.5 years and have been extremely happy together. We talk about marriage, kids, house, etc. 3 weeks ago we even went wedding ring shopping to give me an idea of what to look for. Everything was perfect. Her Grandma however is suffering and has a matter of days left and must be taken care of constantly. My now ex takes care of her and left me in the process 1 week ago. She called saying she needed to be alone and didnt want a relationship anymore. I went over the next day to talk and we ended up lying down together holding each other as if we were fine. We were kissing and hugging, and she said she still loved me. Unfortunately, we are still apart and she is still confused. I cant get a straight answer out of her on whether or not we will be together again. Do i no contact her? I'd hate to leave her and not be there when Grandma dies. Im extremely confused on the situation. Any advice or ideas? Is it possible for someone just to shut down like this?
