Great Relationship Ends Quickly (long but interesting)
I have been in a relationship with a gorgeous girl for a year. The first 8 months were perfect! Absolutely perfect! I am 25 and she is 17 (I know some of you think that's weird). There is no sex. I respect her enough not to worry about. We were both very much in love.
The past month and a half have been odd. Her family is very moral conscious and expect the very best from and for her. Her mom is an angel and her dad is a successful businessman. They live in a very small town in AL. I have had words with her dad over petty things, because he is hard to communicate with, but we have always made things right. I have made many changes in my life to better myself for her including quit drinking and got saved. I am trying really hard to straighten up for her.
Here comes the odd stuff. We planned to hang out before a college football game we were both attending but she never called, which is very odd. She calls whether something is wrong or not. So after a period I naturally called her. She said she was at the game with her parents and thought I was being overbearing. That night she called and said she was "done" and didn't love me anymore and needed the ever dreaded "time and space". She also said she just wanted to experience life (which maybe true). I fell she should have thought that before we fell so deep in love. Remember though everything at least "seemed" perfect just two days earlier.
So I am trying to give her "time and space" while at least attempting to figure out what went wrong. I have talked to her aunt. She knows nothing. Talked to her mom. She "says" she knows nothing. Here's the tricky stuff. I talked to her a couple of days after the breakup and she seemed to understand my position of wanting to work things out. We took it slow the next few days (max 2 texts a day, no calls). I sent her flowers today b/c it was her last football game as a cheerleader with a neutral note telling her that I was proud of her.
We have a shared email address that I rarely use and she uses only through her cell. I read a conversation b/w her and her mom almost making a joke out of the flowers and her mom telling her she was wise for making her decision. Yet one of her classmates (also a friend of mine) told me she broke down and really cried over the flowers.
So I don't know. Maybe it's over and I'm trying to hang on to something that's not there. I know this is long but I think the details are necessary to understand the situation. Thanks for reading and for any help.
