i've been going out with an amazing girl the past 13 months. we're both in highschool and she recently got a job. so she's been feeling responsibilities pile up on her. it was all going good until she wanted time to herself.
she said we're very likely to get back together, but it's nothing i haven't heard before. i guess i just need some comforting words.
but i love this girl and she knows that, she loves me back. i don't get how two people can have feelings like that and one just doesn't see a point in going out.

I've even said that to a guy because I had to run a job, school and still devote time to him as well. Sometimes when we have responsibilities, it's hard to cope with everything all at once. Sometimes the girl just feels like she needs to take a breather. But if this is really hurting you, let her know, talk to her about it and see how she feels then. Maybe she doesn't know how it's making you feel and she thinks you're okay with all of this.She might think you're going to be there after WHATEVER she does to you but that isn't right, you should tell her. I know that might not have sounded comforting but believe me doesn't mean it won't get easier. In time when she settles into her job and she feels confident in herself, you should be back on the scene, I know you love each other and that's great so it should work out all in good time.

We took a break twice but then I kept breaking his heart and he refused to get back together with me.The point is that we loved each other a lot but I took him for granted and thought he would always be there. I bet the girl you love thinks you will always be there but let her know you won't continue to let her hurt you like she is. Talk to her seriously and if she loves you she will agree to a relationship but just give her space and don't be clingy about it. [ wonderfulchels's advice column | Ask wonderfulchels A Question ]
cloudy_conscience answered Sunday March 23 2008, 4:59 pm: It may not seem logical but it happens. She may just feel that you are going in different directions, or she may be scared about all of her responsibilities. She may think that you deserve someone with more time for you and in time she may realize that she really does want to be with you. You just need to give her the space she asks for, because if you don't then it will most definatly ruin your relationship. She will think you don't respect her wishes, trust me I've been there.
Give her the space but make sure she knows how much she means to you and that you are willing to wait and do what she wants.
