valky Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Just as a back story, I wrote yesterday about wanting to find moderation as my gf's grades began to suffer with the amount of time we were spending with each other. We would lose track of time and it was begging to take away from both of our lives' responsibilities. She asked for space and I initially resisted thinking it was something we could 'talk' out - which only caused more time to be wasted. Anyway I gave her the space she needed starting last saturday and we didn't talk on the phone at all and she emailed me little notes of "I love you" before going to sleep. Well she called me last night and she told me she saw how I was always one to fight for what I wanted and that since I had the maturity and foresight to take a step back - it made her realize how much she was in love with me. She said we view love in different ways - I am a very proximity oriented person, while she looks at the big picture. She began to think that my love might not be the love for her when I began to emphasize more time and she ended up staying up late to finish her studies. Anyway - we are spending the weekend together and it appears as all is well. I am optomistic, but I just wanted to say that sometimes when a person asks for space and moderation - it is a true request. It doesn't mean there's another person or the person has fallen out of love, For her it was a chance for me to show her that I could give her something in a selfless manner that would help her.
