so I'm glad I found this site. first post. I dated my ex for 6 years and we basically broke up because college is ending soon(same school) i was unsure about where my life was taking me and she basically got tired of it. we've been apart just over 2 months now and the situation stands at the fact we both have admitted to still being in love with each other but she needs "time." the other day i told her i could not be her half boyfriend anymore, as we had been regularly talking and seeing each other over the past few weeks and doing great, but the whole "i need time" issue is still the problem. now I'm thinking to start pushing away maybe even casually dating others but dont know if this is going to make me lose her. 6 years is a long time and im still all tied up inside. im not doing the whole stalker deal/calling all the time, but the main issue is we are in the same circle of friends so being around her is inevitable. really just looking for some support/advice from others in the same situation. looking forward to responses.
