My girlfriend broke up with me earlier tonight after what was a very painful week for me. We had been going out for nearly 3 months but the last 6 weeks were made up by our winter break and the first week of classes. She was exciting and very much into me and I actually left my exgirlfriend for that reason among others to be with her. In all of my previous relationships I always wanted to start things out slowly but things never worked out so I decided to let her control the pace and it was fast. Within a week of my breakup she wanted to have sex and so I went along with that. We both became very much so into each other and "I love you" soon followed. By the week before break during our final exams we spent an enormous amount of time together and everyone I have spoken to in person about this has said that we looked so happy all the time. For that first month and a half I told her that she should spend more time with her friends and should be doing something that didn't always have to include me but she decided to spend time with me so I was happy. Even though she is close to 3 years older then me I have had more relationship experience but my experience was all very short term. The problems started occurring after about 2 and a half weeks of break when she started behaving strangely and distant from me. I asked her what was wrong and she said that being at home was stressful for her so I let it go. From this point on she only became more and more distant but still communicated with me over skype but less though video chat and more through typing and didn't say "I love you" until I said it first. Five days before break was over we planned on skyping in the afternoon but she didn't appear online or respond to my texts at all for 3 days straight. I decided to give her some space right away and not pester her and it turned out her sisters cat had died. Saturday night I stayed up until 2AM waiting for her and when she showed up I was overjoyed and gave her a huge hug and kiss but she wasn't excited at all so I assumed she was tired after driving all day but I was still worried.
For the past week she didnt seem very interested or willing to have a conversation with me but was overexcited to see everyone else, even people she wasn't very close to. I decided to try and figure out what was going on but she said she didnt know. I decided that I should give her space for couple days so that she could relax but that didn't do anything and so we had a conversation tonight which led to her breaking up with me.
I asked her to be honest and tell me what was wrong and she said that she felt like I had been too into her, she also said that she didn't get to see her friends often last semester. She told me that from the start her friends didn't support the relationship at all because she was not a fan of relationships. She hadn't mentioned a single one of these things to me earlier and admits to having communication problems. Also before the break she had told me things like "We fit so well together" and how she liked my eyes a lot. I told her she could be with her friends whenever she wanted to be but she chose to be with me instead. What kind of friends discourage you from doing something you are excited about?
My dad and 2 of my friends told me that she wasn't treating me well and that I should break up with her a few days ago because I needed respect.
She mentioned the possibility of maybe being able to get together in the future but took to wanting to be friends right away and we plan on seeing a movie in my room this weekend. Neither one of us has changed our facebook status yet.
I felt relieved to finally know what was wrong but at the same time I'm mentally lost, depressed, and very upset.
What should I do?
