My girlfriend told me that she needed a break about 3 weeks ago. Since then she has been partying a lot and getting drunk. I think she felt like I held her down before and she is making up for lost time.

She has been very nice to me and tells me that she loves me and we talk a few times a week. I also know that she hasn't hooked up with any other guys. I would love to share this time in her life with her, she is only 17. We were togther for 2 1/2 years.

Over time will she grow out of this phase and want to be together again or am I done?

If anyone knows from experience, let me know. Thanks!!!

You are done.

Well my ex and I have been split up for about 2 weeks now. I also feel like I was just holding her down because she is young (17 also) and just wanted to party and flirt around. I don't know though. We had a wonderful relationship until the last few months where we never got to spend time together and we always fought. She now tells me that she loves me a little still, and our relationship was wonderful. She said that if the time is right, she would love to be with me again.

But right now I am with another girl. One of her friends actaully. Things are ok between us but I am still in love with my ex.

But to answer your question I feel that you still may have a chance in the future. I feel that in the future I may also get another chance, but time will tell. If she says that she loves you still, then you may have a chance when she gets over having the whole party feel and she may want someone steady, and that is where you come in. Keep your head up and like I said before, time will tell.

She is 17? and you been dating for 2.5 years? that makes her what 14.5? How old are you? My goodness she is a child! What do you expect? If I was 17 I be partying as well and certainly not in a so called relationship.

She is doing what a 17 year old should do. How in the world do you expect a 17 year old to have a healthy serious relationship? What planet are you from?

We met in high school, I was a senior and she was a freshman. We were inseparable for 2.5 years, and then she broke up with me around 3 weeks ago. We were eachothers 1st loves.

I was just wondering if there was any chance of a future for us. We still talk and hang out, but I don't think I should tell her how I feel yet. I think for now she needs space, and only time will tell.
