Search Results: getting over a long term relationship

Our first month dating was my last month living with my family, so this all has occurred over a very transitional period in my life. I think this may have to do with my confusion and stress. At first it seemed like she was absolutely crazy about me, like to a point where I was scared about eventually breaking her heart. About three weeks in I fell for her hardcore and felt like we were going to be a pretty long term thing. She actually mentioned that she sees us going far. One month in she told me she loved me and I didn't really think it was love yet. I was pretty obsessed with her but I've never been in real love (I don't really know what it is or IF it really is anything) and I felt that it was way too early in the relationship to call it love. Our second month together was a lot of fun. I was settling into the new place and she was getting to meet a lot of my friends. We threw a few parties and her friends came and they all had fun but I started to notice that she kind of ignores me when she's around a lot of people. A few days later we had a long talk about where we see ourselves in the future. She basically told me that although she loves me and would do anything for me, she does not see our relationship going much further than three months into the future. I at first kind of took it lightly because apparently I couldn't grasp what I was hearing. I dismissed it like it was nothing. A day later after an anxious day at work, I came home and sat down with her. I told her (while crying just about the entire time) that I loved her with all my heart but that I couldn't handle being in the relationship if it seems so temporary in her eyes. She cried in my arms and said she still loves me and doesn't want it to end, she just sees it ending sooner than I do. I guess her definition of a long term relationship is different from mine. We're still together now. I am content with a short relationship, but telling me so before it's over just effs with my head.

My ex girlfriend and I stated dating very soon after her long term relationship with her ex boyfriend. In fact we started talking just two weeks after they broke it off. At the time I was unaware that they dated for so long and continued to dig my self in a deeper and deeper hole.

We got to know each other very fast and hung out just about every day. She met my family and I was quick to meet hers. It seemed like we had a great bond.. that is until the last few weeks.

I had asked her a few times if she still had feelings for her ex and she was very honest when she said she did still have feelings for him (second mistake staying with her). I thought we could work through it however, it didn't work out to what I had hoped. The last few weeks of our relationship we had began to bicker about things she never cared about before. She had gone through stages where she would get depressed... and then

She just broke up with me, saying she never had time to herself/to heal and really get over her ex after her ex and her broke it off. I asked her if she could picture a long term relationship with me and she said, as of now I can't but maybe in the future.

After getting to know her I realized she was the girl of my dreams, my "perfect" girl. I am wondering if I give her time to heal, do I even have a chance in the future? Or did she never really like me as a boyfriend?
