I love her and dont want to lose her

[DRBA1]

I am 20yrs old and my girlfriend is 24. We have been dating now for 6 months and I have never felt for anyone like I do for her. She was previously married and just got through with the divorce- she and her ex were separated since October 2006. When we started talking I asked her if she was sure she wanted a relationship and she said yes that she was sure she did. She had dated one guy previously for a brief period before we met.

 

I have been a bit depressed over the last couple of months because life has been throwing some major curveballs at me and I have felt like I am up against the world. It all pretty much hit me this last weekend, and I came up to my friends house for a couple of weeks to get away from everything and to give us a break as we have been arguing more and more. We both thought this would be good.

 

Last night I drove down to see her and talk everything over with her. She said that she was unsure of what she wants right now- she told me she wanted to be with me and that she loved me, but she wasnt sure she wanted a serious relationship right now. I asked her what she wanted and she stated "I just dont know" and began crying. I asked her if we could just have a fresh start- we both have been under pressure and just needed each other right now. A little about us- she is a nurse and I am a pre-med student.

 

Well, I came back up to spend the weekend up here with my friends so that she didnt feel pressured by me being there, etc. and I cant stop thinking about everything. I dont want to lose her- she seriously means so much to me. I have never been in any form of predicament like this and am at a loss for words, ideas, etc. I want her to feel she can have her space, but at the same time I want her to be my girlfriend. We never argue about going out with friends, going out of town alone, etc- it is a very trusting and open relationship.

 

Please someone help me keep my girl. I dont know what I'd do if I lost the woman that means the world to me.
