If I'm supposed to wait till you're done with the ongoing conversation, I'm sorry.
But I'd like to pose a question for public debate (or rather, your take on it).
I'm new here, as you can see, and I've introduced myself in the introduction section named "and then i was here"(can't post links yet).
So I won't waist more space about me specifically.
My GF and I have been dating for 4 months, 3 of which we've been officially "together". Now, I've fallen pretty hard for this girl, and I'm at the stage where I can't imagine my life without her(well, I can, I just dont want to).
Question:
During the last 3 months, we've been together at least 4 to 5 days a week(seems like everyday), it feels like we've been together always. and everything seemed great from my point of view. - we've been avoiding sex the last month because she has some sort of fungus infection down there, she has however been satisfying me orally.
We've been integrated into each others families, we've been abroad together, we've even been planning the future together (it's gone fast as shit, but she's 18, so she's still at the one true love stage of life, I'm a couple of years older so I expect the worst and hope for the best in general).
it's all been going fine, fast, but fine.
the problem came very suddenly (as she, like most girls, didn't bother to bring shit up, and just let it build). She thinks we've been going to fast and that she needs a little bit of space. she's specifying that she doesn't want to break up, and she still "loves" me. But she wants to go back to the beginning, where we dated and to use her words "were boyfriend and girlfriend, not husband and wife". She thinks we're too clingy and see each other too much, as we wake up together, spend most of the day together, go to sleep together ect.
Now, the issue I'm having is that she's the one who took it all too fast, she's been planning our future, she's been wanting me over. I have no quarrel with taking a little "pause", and dial down how much we're in each other faces. I'm like most guys in love, whatever the heck she wants, she can have it, caus I'm not dumb enough to want to lose the great thing we have together over issues this small.
Now, I've gone against my better judgment and apologized for not "seeing" the "signs" that I should not constantly be with her (I frankly blame that I'm older and ready to live with her, where as she's younger and not there yet).
And we have agreed to go back to the beginning and what not cause apparently she still loves me. I'm just dumbfounded at how a person can love another person and need breaks from that person being in the house (been together for 3 months, not 30 years after all).
So I'm seeking input on my situation, as In the ring, my corner sees things that I don't see when I'm fighting - figure it's the same here, as the solution has proven to be fairly counter intuitive in the past.
Cheers!
