When I first met my girlfriend I was 16 years old at the very end of high school, and she was 17, but I looked slightly older than her.

At first I only began talking to her because she was a hot, slim and fit blonde with slightly tanned skin who often wore relatively revealing clothes. But soon enough, I began to see she was more than just a typical hot girl. She was kind, and had a lot of sympathy towards others. She was also pretty smart, tackling on 7 AP classes at once, and getting A's and B's in all of them. We also had common interests, such as action and adventure shows and movies, books, video games, anime, swimming, and soccer.

Now fast forward to the now... I'm 21, and she's 22, and we're both through with college, have our own jobs, and live in the same house together.

Naturally, since I began to see her so much I thought it'd get boring. But no, I only grew even closer to her. And thus, began to find her more physically attractive, too.

Sure, our relationship isn't as "puppy love sweet" as it used to be. Now we're more straightforward about things, and point out literally everything... both good and bad about each other. And we do argue pretty often, too.

But it's not out of hate, though. It's more of a roundabout way to say we love each other without being super nice and sappy all the time. More like playful banter, if you will. And almost every time after it happens we're hugging and kissing again in no time anyways.

It may not be the fantasy people dream of when they think of relationships, but that's why it's good... it's real. We can accept we're not perfect.

Pretty straightforward question. I'm mostly talking about the 2 big ones here in the US. The Democrats and Republicans. If you're from another country you're more than welcome to share your thoughts on this.

Things came to a head with someone I was briefly seeing. I hurt her, and she wanted to end but said if i got my shit together she would reconsider. So i go to agree to a month-long break, with 2 weeks no contact, and then she'll let me know what she thinks. Is there a chance she wants this time to just get over me and move on?

We still like each other, but we both agree that it wasn't good for us rn, and that there were too many problems in our lives which were making us miserable at the moment. Most of them were on my end. I need to work on myself — and i had promised her that I would, and was really trying to — but it was too hard with everything going on to actually do that, because there was just so much stuff happening. The stuff that was going on was stuff that I wanted to fix so that I could make us happy, and be a better partner in the future, but it was simultaneously getting in the way of me focusing my efforts in that direction — I told her that and she agreed/accepted it. Like I want and wanted to be better. And was trying to.

Still, she said she would consider it again in the future, in a month or even later at some point. I really like this person too, and I think we could be really happy together if we sorted through some of our problems first (especially me). I also know, from myself, her, and mutual friends, that she is a very straightforward person who usually, but not always, says what she means. My worry is that she isn't serious about this and that it's a soft rejection.

Like i get that she's ending things, but is she serious about being willing to consider after a month or in the future?
