she needs space and I need help

[slinky]

I'm a new member and am having a problem i need some feedback on. My girlfriend to whom i love with every part of my soul and heart said that she "needed space". She almost tried to break the whole relationship off in the beginning because it was her easy way out but I was able to get her to think about everything. The breakup was on the basis that the commitment was getting to be too much. She is a very closed person and I have worked very hard in this relationship to open her up and succeeded. So her break for thing is one week. we have been dating for about seven months now. But, we have been spaced for about five days. I am seriously depressed and moody. My mental health is in the toilet being as i know that this relationship will last forever if given a chance. Se still tells me I am the perfect boyfriend and that out love is great. She still tells me she loves me. She is 19 and I am 21. The only thing that is keeping me ok is my relationship with god without that I don't know where i would be. Anyway how do I fix this I have allready told her i would fix the problem but she responds "I'm not sure if this is what I need right now" all the typical girl things I am used to hearing. So now I am waiting for her to tell me what she wants. How do i fix the situation. I am lost sleepless and am having trouble eating and with school.

Please help!

Thanks

Slinky, you're very young. Yes, it hurts to loose someone you love, but trust me, in a few years you will realize that there was much to learn for you about relationships and that it was for the better. You have to understand that you cannot "fix" someone's attitude towards you or your relationship. You cannot change a person's feelings, and you shouldn't. If you have to convince her that your relationship is going to last forever, then obviously, it will not because she does not feel the same. Girls will often tell you that you are the "perfect man" and that it's all their fault, because they don't want to hurt you. You are especially infatuated with her, she know what to tell you so you don't get hit in the head with all of it at the same time. You should also have more pride. Thank of it this way. If she needs so much convincing that you are the right one for her, do you really think she is right for you? Obviously she doesn't appreciate you for what you are. You can do better than that! Don't panic. There is plenty of time to find Ms. Right. Sometimes meeting a few people and finding out first hand what is right and wrong for you is the best way to find the right partnership. Don't put his down as a mistake. Every relationship you have in life teaches you something about yourself and about what kind of partner you need. Good luck. Don't let them get you down. You will find the right one when it's time.
