Hello all. I'm a guy looking for a bit of advice/reassurance regarding my very fresh break up.
She is incredible yet very busy young lady. She has to balance work with a college course, owning two horses and then of course her social life. It's a lot to fit in, and of course I understand a boyfriend only adds to the stress. Within a week she has decided that she wants time and space to think about things, see her other friends, generally be a young woman. She isn't the type to sleep around; I won't go into detail but I know she won't do that. She wants to enjoy herself without the worry of settling down too soon. As hard as it is for me, I understand that and will of course support her. She said she will stand by and support me with everything I do too.
Now when we spoke about the situation she said she needed to be single for now and that I am the guy she wants to eventually settle down with; just not right now. In the meantime, she wants to see me still, talk, go to friends engagements together etc. When we said goodbye last, we hugged for a while and she said just give me this time.
I did check whether she wanted to see other people. She categorically said no. I do believe her.
I will give her this time. But how much is too much, how much is too little etc? My head is just a mess. I want to ask her but I'm very aware that I need to keep a certain distance. Argh!!
Thank you in advance x
