I (22M) have been seeing this girl from work (22F) for over a year now and we began to date 3 months ago because we wanted to be more serious. We never had an issue, I was always able to make her laugh, we really care for eachother and developed really quickly while we dated. 6 weeks ago work began to become busy and understaffed, she began to become hyper stressed and went hostile and distant on me. It did actually make me worried because things went so well that I was scared it would end. I figured I could make her smile or laugh at work but I'd end up irritating her and making things work and making her push me away further. I asked her about it 2 weeks ago and she told me she's stressed and she avoids me because I irritate her at work and I need to read her better because when she's stressed she wants to be left alone and not me try make it better. Yesterday her friend told me she's not interested in me anymore and considers things finished between us atm. However, we've never had an issue before and really like eachother, I fully accept that when she's stressed I tried too hard to make her feel better and came across as suffocating and annoying, however I've asked her again and she told me that's it's stress and exhaustion and another friend said that due to her last 2 boyfriends treating her like shit and just how quick our relationship was happening at a time she was beginning 2 stress out that she probably couldn't cope with it all and cut me out to reduce the emotional burden. Should I cut my loses and move on Or accept that she's very stressed and a relationship is not ideal for her atm and so she's cut it off for her own mentality, wait until things return to normal and try again? We held hands and kissed last week, but then I asked if she wanted to come over when my parents are away and then her mood dropped again. I feel like she doesn't want me now, but still has feelings, but everytime she begin to try again I rush it too much and just push her away
Is she stressed or are we finished?
