What is my next step after she said she needed a pause? Could it be because she's unemployed, living with parents, confused about her goals?

A male United States, *old4this writes:

I have been in a relationship for over a year now. I love her and she says she loves me and I believe her. Our biggest problem is she keeps going with her friend on these work trips she gets. It keeps her away from me alot. Evertime she does this I get upset until she finally comes home and I get too see her. She is on a trip now and just yesterday she told me she needed a break. she says she doesnt want to split up and she doesnt want to see other people. The impression I get is because she is 25 with no job living with her parents and she has no idea what she wants to do with her life. Now I don't know what to do next. I feel like after a week or so maybe sooner we will be together again. Right now I am scared. I can't lose her. What is my next step?

TasteofIndia agony auntWell, you sound a little possessive. It could be pushing her away. I suggest you give her the time she wants and if she does come back to you, you need to make a promise that you're going to chill out a bit. Both of you need time apart to be able to miss each other. She has friends and a life that are beyond you - let her enjoy them.

You should be hanging out with your buddies too. In a relationship, your world should get BIGGER - not smaller.

Good luck, sweetness.
