Alright Escapist, here's my 1001st post. My whining about my fears at the moment.
While the Internet isn't the most reliable place for information, you're the Escapist. Over the past two years I've come to recognize many of you, and maybe some of you me. For the most part, I trust you enough not to troll me (too hard, at least). Anyhow. Let's get to it.
My girlfriend has recently declared our relationship "On Break." She has recently developed feelings for another man and is confused as to what these feeling are. Because of this, she has tried to ignore me and her childhood friend out of hopes for avoiding making me think I did something wrong. The opposite has taken effect, and I worried horribly that I screwed up somehow and she was angered with me. I can not describe in words how much this girl means to me. So Wednesday she finally details exactly what's going on. She wants a break to reflect and recognize who she has the feeling of legitimate love for.
We have been dating for two years as of the 31st of January. I couldn't take it, I send her a massive letter detailing my feelings on the situation as well as my inability to let her go. I am normally a very passive person, and this was one time I couldn't stand by and let my love be taken from me by some guy I don't even know. Her reaction was predicted, "This is exactly what I wanted to avoid." "I don't think you understood 'break.'" I fear it was, in fact, the wrong decision. I am afraid, Escapistians. I'm not entirely sure what to do at this point.
Do I relax? Let her take a break to reflect? Or should I keep emphasizing our relationship to her? Am I freaking out over nothing? My emotions are taking the better of me, and will most likely lead this partnership to tragedy.
So, Escapites; what should I do? Help me out here, people.
