sparky1204 Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 My girlfriend and i have been together for over a year and a half. We have lived together for all but two months in our relationship. We recently moved from Colorado to Florida to be closer to her family and a better job opportunity for me. We have been staying with her family since the move and were planing to rent another house together at the first of the year. Last night, out of the blue, she tells me that she wants to live on her own. She said she is still in love with me and wants to stay together but also acknowledges that this is a big step back in our relationship. She wants to be more independent and i am supportive of that but it kind of broke my heart a little to here her say that. Just yesterday afternoon we were out shopping for sheets and talking about how great its was that we'd have our own place again soon. I have fallen asleep with this woman amost every night for over a year now. i want to be supportive of this decision but i dont like it at all. It seems to me that it is going to drive us apart. We have had a great relationship, rocky at times but weve been through alot together. I am crazy about her and had plans to ask her to marry me sometime next year. Now i am confused and a little heartbroken over all this. Has anyone ever been through a similar situation? How did it turn out? Any advise would be great.
Yamaha Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 It seems to me that it is going to drive us apart She knows this also. A move like this on her part will definitely change your relationship. She is basically telling you she wants space. Space is a metaphor for saying she is not happy and wants to shop around. You might ask her how she feels about your relationship but I doubt she will be truthful. It sucks but you really have no choice. It takes two for a relationship.
