Help me please :(

Ive been going outwith my girlfriend for bout year and a quarter and recently weve been going through a rough patch and yesterday she put us on a break and ive been a complete mess since. She's told me she still loves me but isnt "in love with me" and that she might also still have feelings for an ex and is meeting him next week :frown: shes my bestfriend aswell as my gf and when im feeling this distraught id always turn to her,but right now i cant cause of the break and i cant tell any of my guy mates cause id be laughed at for being soft and i dont really wanna burden my girl mates this close to exams. I really just dont know what to do and i feel so lost and could really do with some advice, i feel like im breaking down :s-smilie:

hard luck.

Unfortunately it sounds like its def over, and you'll have to start coming to terms with that. Go to family for support, if you're friends aren't any help. Do stuff to keep your mind off her and make as little contact with you can.

people change and it sounds like your gf is changing now. For the time being keep your mind off her and concentrate on your exams (if you have them too). She may decide to give it another shot because being on breaks arent always the final thing. Keep your chin up and try to carry on as normal x

A break never really works, she wants out by the look. Then again I doubt if she did go back to her ex that it would work. She sounds like she doesn't know what she really wants.

Above all, stay strong and realise that time *will* heal you. Turn cold on her if it helps. And learn to control your feelings in the future. For now, you have to turn to whoever you have in your life who will support you. It'd feel much much better talking to people. Use friends and family for that.

Oh, I don't know. I think they can work but you have to be honest with each other i.e. reassure the other it isn't an excuse, but a chance to see what is genuinely best for the both of you.

Your girlfriend does sound hella confused though. I'd seriously ask her about this ex-boyfriend thing because he could the reason she wants a break, in this case. :frown:

Just try and get on with life and take it day by day. Don't it around holding out hope, She's off meeting other blokes, go and have fun with your mates :smile:

If you ever feel like talking just PM me if you want.

Breaks make me laugh... alot. Never work, just too scared to admit they want out.

Just give her the space mate.

If she's yours she'll come back. If she doesn't, well...

It aint over till the fat lady sings. But, I'm not going to lie to you; asking for 'space' is usually, not always, but usually is the beginning of the end.

Chin up.

i agree with the post above. just give her the space. if you now start calling her and asking her back and being really clingy, she's all the more likely to find someone else. just give her the space and time, be optimistic that she'll come back since she didn't break up with you but you're just on a break!

hope everything works out for you, just DONT be clingy!!
