Earlier this week, my girlfriend of two years suddenly tells me she requires a break form the relationship. She has done this before to me, due to stress with work, school, homework and no time for herself.
Last time it was for three weeks, which turned into three months. This time she asked for three weeks again. Maybe it's due to PMS, maybe the stress of tax time, for she works in an accounting office, also attends school two nights a week with homework and all that.
We do not live together. She has her own apartment and lives with her cat. I have my own house and live with my two daughters, a dog and two cats.
The last two years have led us to love each other very deeply, or so I thought. Upon reading posts to another discussion board, I learn that her attitude is that she doesn't know if she even wants the relationship to continue.
I'm hanging in the wings here waiting and wondering of the outcome, agonizing to a point whether she loves me or not.
The three weeks has just begun, however, do I really need to be left hanging like this, without a clue as why it is even happening?
