I have been in a serious relationship for 2 and a half years.
It has been a very solid and happy relationship except for the past few months. My girlfriend is the light in my life... however recently I found out that my girlfriend had cheated on me. I forgave her because I love her so dearly and I was able to put it behind me and try to rebuild on our relationship. Now that was about two months ago and things have been kind of unstable between me and her.
Lately she feels that she suddenly needs alot of alone time and feels that we spend too much time together. I only get to see her like twice a week and also everytime I talk to her on the phone she sounds as if she's not really there.
I confronted her about all this and she claims that she has been very stressed and very tired and all I do is make her more tired by asking for more of her time.
I understand all that and all I have been trying to do is give her more time alone and make the trips to pick her up from work or go to her place so that she won't have to move around as much.
I have been surprising her with presents so to make the effort to make her happy and to try and release some of the stress that she's under.
Now she saids that she wants to go out and date other people and saids that when she is ready for marriage, she will come find me because she saids that I am the only one that she wants to marry. Its just that now she feels as if she doesn't want to have such a serious relationship.
I was shocked to say the least. What should I do? I love her deeply, I can't imagine my life without her, I have pictured her as my future wife and I can't picture her in any other way. She saids that she loves me very deeply too and a big part of her doesn't want to break up with me but just that she doesn't feel content with her life at the moment and would like to explore a few things and being with me won't allow her to do that.
What should I do???
I love her so so so SO MUCH and I know I won't be able to stand the thought of not being with her let alone her being with someone else.
But I don't want her to regret anything or be unhappy.
Please help me...I am so confused at the moment...
