My girlfriend and I been together for 2 years and last week we had another argument and she said that we needed time apart to get out stuff together, she said she still loves me and she sees a future with me but right now its to hard to keep going on the way we have in the last 3 month fighting with each other. She said she needs to work on her school studies and I have to find myself another job and get on my feet. For the longest she has been telling me how our relationship has been stale and going nowhere but it’s hard to do anything because we both are in a situation where we can’t do anything about it. All I want is for her to graduate from school and from there our relationship will be able to grow a lot better because I will have a good job and she will be free from the stress of school and she will have a job in her major and then we can concentrate fully on each other and get our own place.

The thing that gets me is how she says we need time apart to get our stuff together be she still wants to stay in contact with me. She text, calls me, and says that we can still chill together the way we have been doing like before when we were a couple. I’m just confused, we are spending time apart to get our stuff together to make this relationship work if we get back together in the future but it feels like we are still a couple the ways we still stay in contact with one another and have great times when we are together.

She says this time apart is just as hard for her as much as it is for me but we need this because this might be the only way to save 2 years together instead of throwing it away. Is this her way of making me get my stuff together and get on the ball because when I asked her how long this break would be she said that she didn’t know and if one or both of us show progression we can sit down ad talk about taking it to the next step in renewing our relationship. Is this a game she is trying to play, does she really love me like she says she do, or afraid to lose me just as much as I’m afraid to lose her after 2 years together. Thanks for your support in advance.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

To give you an update on my situation yesterday she contacts me asking could I walk with her to the corner store to get something to eat. Then today she calls me asking if I can walk her to her car so that I could put something in her parking space so that she would lose it. Now she has 3 people in her house and she calls me asking for help, sounds to me like she just wanted to have an excess to see me before she went to work but I couldn’t help her because I was busy doing something else. Also it’s not good to be there every time she asks me, can’t be her personal pushover.
