Dygz Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 My girlfriend and I broke up 2 weeks ago, got back together and now are currently on a 7-day break. After the initial break-up I lost all sense of self confidence and became insanely jealous and overprotective. I am 19 years old and in recovery from alcohol and drugs. Recently, my girlfriend (who was in recovery also) has decided that she can drink normally. I think that if its the case, thats fine. However, I'm fearful of the fact that she may revert back to her old ways. This fear caused me to be get this way(which was her role at one point, making it even more difficult and embarrassing for me). The thought of her getting a DWI, being sexually promiscuous or worse, getting seriously hurt tears me up inside. Because of my newfound overbearing attitude, my girlfriend has come up with this 7 days apart deal. The rules are absolutely no contact unless there is an emergency. I can see where she is coming from. I need to be able to stand on my own two feet for a bit. I also am having tremendous doubts about all this as well. Sometimes I get the feeling that this is all an elaborate ploy to break up with me an easier softer way. Like the fact that she says this all may work out is just supposed to get me through until she inevitably ends it all. I really would like some advice on how to correctly deal with all this. Also if any women out there could give me some insight into what my girlfriend might be thinking, that would be greatly appreciated as well. -Dygz
