Please help me
OK I'm 36
Gone through 1 divorce and 4 break ups
This is my hardest break up yet,
I've had a crush on her for 2 years
8 weeks ago I got the bottle to ask her out
She was getting back with her ex
They had been on and off for a year
He treated her like poop! Lied to her
A few days later she thought about me,
Broke up with her ex and took a risk to get to know me better
3 weeks later we got on so well and got closer each day
Then 4 weeks ago she made it into an official relationship and said she couldn't imagine a tome with out me because I make her so happy
Her ex wouldn't leave her alone, asking for her back, making her feel guilty, threatening to kill himself so she put a restraint order on him,
It only kicked in last week and he messaged her loads before he wasnt allowed to any more and got into her head big time
Since then he's stopped but she told me she was finding it hard to get over him but wanted to try harder for us to work out
Then 2 days ago I get a message off her saying she still loves him and can't carry on the relationship with me while she feels like that
I asked her if she is talking to him and she said she can't legally so no not at the moment (makes me think she wants to though)
We are now only friends but I want to be with her so badly I can't stop my feeling for her, we had so much fun in the short amount of time we had together, yes I admit it went way too fast but we liked it (at the time I guess) she introduced me to the whole of her family, she was planning for things for my birthday next month
I need help sorting my head out
I don’t know the situation but, you can only wait for someone for so long. It would probably be easier for you in the long run to not talk to to her (even though it may be hard). You could be upfront and tell her how you feel, then say since she clearly is over her ex you need to step back and move on so you’d appreciate it if she didn’t message you anymore. Maybe when she’s sorted herself out you guys could try again if the feelings are still there but in the mean time you need to heal yourself and try to move forward. ❤️
