Alright, I'll try to be brief but give you everything you need to know.
My girlfriend (fiance to be really) and I had a bit of a slow part of our relationship. We were both stressed by classes and money and started focusing more on that then each other. We worked through it and I thought everything was ok. But through a shared friend I found out that she had been seeing someone else for the last month on the side. When I confronted her with it she initially denied it but then finally came clean and told me that she didn't mean for it to happen (I know cliche) it was just she thought I was wanting to break up so she felt out her feelings with this guy.
But what she didn't realize is I have chronic depression problems and am working through them. But that also I was going to give her a ring in about two months (our year and a half anniversary) She says she loves me and wants to be with me but that she thinks of this other guy too much to totally be true to me. She says she needs time to get him out of her system so she can be mine and mine alone.
Now I ask you, how long is too long to wait. While I do love her with all my heart should I realize that maybe she just isn't ready. She says she is but that she let it go too far with him to just cut the ties. So I ask you all... what's a hopeless romantic to do?
