    Girlfriens broke up with me because she said she felt lile she is holding me back.
    Ok, basically...my girlfriend broke up with me because she said that she felt like she was holding me back and that its not fair when the guy does so much more for the girl in the relationship. And that she doesnt want a relationship where we always argue since we often have different views. Whenever we argue she gets depressed and she doesnt want that. (but ey, who doesnt gets depressed when they argue). So she said she still loves me but she wants a breakup because she is constantly depressed these days.

    I asked her whether she is 100% sure on the break up and she said she isnt 100% sure yet but she thinks its best.But for my side of the story, i do not think that shes holding me back at all. And that I really appreciate the things shes done for me even though she doesnt realise ituh. I love her to bits.

    Should i save this relationship?if so how? Or should i just let things be?

    The 'holding you back' thing is bull****, that's to soften the blow.

    It sounds like it would be better for her, to be honest. No point being in a relationship if it makes her depressed.

    if your not 100% sure that you want to save the relationship then dont bother. Why fight for something that you yourself are questioning?

    Tell her you don't think she's holding you back so if that's the real reason then she can see how you feel but most likely she's not happy in the relationship and is looking for an excuse so don't push her too much, let her go if she's unhappy. Just make sure she knows the facts so she can decide.
