Hi all,

 

I'm looking for other opinions, and insight into my situation. I'll try to make this as short as possible.

 

My GF and I have been together for just about a year, I'm 28, she's 27. We moved in together and have been (living) together for roughly 8 months. We've had our trials and tribulations like most couple, although some mistakes have been made, (no cheating). The arguments ultimately pushed us away from each other.

 

We currently had a big blow out two weeks ago, and she's been staying with her mom about 30 miles away. She's still paying rent because her name is on the lease as well as mine. She says she no longer wants to be together, and I'm not going to be distraught if it ends, because I hold my head high in these situations an understand that's life.

 

However, I do still want to be with her, and work on things. We do still have open communication. She met with me on Tuesday night for dinner, and we talked for about two hours, it was positive. The next night I asked if she'd like to come over and have dinner, she did, with some hesitation, and we ended up hooking up. The next day I called her telling her It was good to see her, etc. Her reply was, ' we can't ever do that again '. Annoyed as I was, I respected what she said, but knowing I feel like she's (Semi) playing games.

 

She responds to texts, phone calls, agrees to dinners, etc. When I ask her if she wants me to be gone '' forever '', she avoids the question. I don't think she's opposed to working on things. I was a player all through life, and she's the first girl to get me in the '' settle down '' state of mind. I'm not sure whether to be patient, and leave it alone, or she wants me to chase her and prove how much I care. Because when I put food out, she takes it, so to speak. When I don't contact, she doesn't. Sort-of. But I haven't gone longer then a day.

 

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

It's my experience that when someone says this, they actually have many, many more trials and tribulations than most couples. It's not normal for a couple that is just one year old to have lots of fights and arguments. It's a clear sign that you are not well suited, and you will not have a happy future together.

 

I don't think she's opposed to working on things.

Then tell her if she wants to work on things she needs to get back home right now and start working on them.
