Hi all.
Been with my girlfriend for just over 2 yrs. Everything was great until a couple of weeks ago, when after waking up together one morning she decided that she needed a break. As the day went on it went from a brief time out to a complete split. To say I was heartbroken doesn't even come close.
I have to admit I have not been perfect, but I have never argued, or assaulted her in any way, physically or mentally, and I have never been dis-loyal in any form. I have been giving 100+% to her and up until the split she was too. Never do enough for her.
I have spoken to and talked to her quite a few times and each time she seems to be holding back her feelings for me. When asked about the reasons she said that "the relationship got boring". I can't understand this seeing that we were always going out to the pub, movies, meals, bowling, etc. I can see and feel that her feelings and love are still there, just that's she's locking them away.
Never have I put my foot down and stopped her doing anything. I understand about control and forcing someone to do something, which is why I have never tried to control, just support where needed.
She is only 18, and I understand that it is the time in her life that she wants to go off and do things.
She is now with a guy that is the complete opposite to me in looks and style. I know the quailties I have and doubt as to whether he has them. I'm kind, caring, thoughtful, understanding, too nice to everyone as I get told.
Am I wrong for keeping in touch? Will she come back? How can I get her back? Is this break for good?
Any advice would be appreciated.
