Ok So here goes...I've been best friends with a girl for over 7 years now. We've dated before but the timing was all wrong and there were many issues that complicated our relationship. Anyways, I left for Iraq over a year ago and we realized we both still had strong feelings for each other and decided to give it another try despite the fact I was leaving. So we were together the whole year I was gone, staying in touch through emails and phone calls almost daily. I came home for my 2 weeks leave halfway through my tour and everything was perfect. I went back over and did my last 6 months and I came home exactly 2 weeks ago and the first few days were great except I was having a little difficulty adjusting to being home again. A couple days ago my girlfriend suggested a step back in the relationship and that we take a break until we both get our acts together. We still see each other every day and she kinda does this thing where we're close one minute and later on shes kinda pushing me away. I've adjusted to home pretty well at this point and today she told me that her life is different now from before I left and she still needs time to readjust. I can tell she still feels the same about me. My question is I guess...are the chances good of this break actually helping us or are we only meant to be friends? And also, how long is too long to wait?...I don't want to spend months and months waiting but if it means me and her work out I'm willing to wait.
