My partner of 8 years F29 and I M28, last week unfortunately had an argument over her not telling me she was going somewhere.
We have always been a strong couple. We both acknowledge that we do have something special but as a lot of couples have experienced in the last few years with the living stresses our tempers have been shorter than ever with each other but we would always own up to everything apologised to each other and continued to be strong.
After our argument last week we had “the talk” this is where the confusion is for me. She told me that she loves me a lot, she needs space and cannot be in a relationship right now. She assured me there is no one else.
We had another talk yesterday and she has not changed her mind unfortunately but she one again said that she loves me but she can’t do this.
Is this just her needing space to sort herself out? Which if that is the case I’m fine with that. It’s hard but I can handle that. She has also informed me that I am still part of a family members wedding next year which also to me is confusing.
I know she hurting, I wish I could take away that pain away. I love this girl with all my heart, she completes me.. but I need clarity on what all of this means?
TL;DR: after the argument I’ve been getting mixed signals which are hurting and confusing and now I don’t know where I stand.
