Hey all,
My girlfriend recently said she needed time away from me to sort her life out. We met at university and had 14 wonderful months together before we graduated. In sept. last year she joined the police force, at the time we were both looking for a career unfortunately I found one at home and she joined her local police force (we live about 2 hours away).
While she went through 3 months of training we got on fine, she had weekends off so we saw each other then and just chatted during the week. However when she started working shifts things started going wrong, we still saw each other but she was left so tired she felt she couldnt see me as much as before, but, instead of telling me she just went with it until it was all too much.
She insists that it isn't over forever and that she still loves me but that she needs to give her career ago, her mum split with her dad when she was little, her mum had no career and so was left with nothing, I think my g/f fears that and thereforeeeeee needs to do really well in her police job.
The question I have is how do I handle this "break", we "broke" 3 months ago now and I've been up and down since then, one week we speak 4/5 times the next just once. I've tried asking her but she just says I need to put her to the back of my mind for a bit! Anyone reading this will know how hard it is so what do I do, just not contact her at all and risk losing her forever, or handle the bad feelings I have and let her do her thing ?
