What should I do when she says something like that?

Question - (1 September 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 17 September 2010)
A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My girlfriend of a year recently said that she wished she knew me at a different point in her life. She then continue to say that she doesn't think she can ever "Fully love me or will ever have enough time for me in her current point in her life like I deserve." I know that she goes through a lot in her life and there are a lot of problems in her life that are making her unhappy.

I should also state that most of these problems stem from her previous relationship with her ex-husband. He treated and still treats her badly and on top of that she has to manage to take care of her 3 year old daughter with him. She doesn't live with him or anything like that, but she does have shared custody over the child.

What should I do when she says something like that? I love her very much and even see myself with her for many more years to come. But I'm worried she doesn't feel the same way. Does she actually care about me or is she trying to let me go gently? Any advice on this situation would be greatly appreciated.

I guess I should update on the status of the relationship. We currently both decided to end things and to remain very good friends, more so on her part then on mine. I just don't know how to talk to her now that were just friends, especially when we used to talk about everything.

yes she is trying to let you go gently but, its because she was burned so badly. kind of scared of being hurt again so let them go before it happens. so you can hang in there and eventually she will see that you arent going anywhere or you can leave. I vote for the staying part myself.
