My partner and I had 11 month relationship and on our last date was on our 11 month anniversary everything seemed fine and it felt good. However, once it ended I was walking her home until she stops me midway and tells me her depression is worsening and then she told me holding my hands “I can’t be your GF” and I broke down. I told her “don’t you want to even try.” She hesitantly agreed to a break but then she hugs me and says “I love you so much” and I am crying and while we are hugging she tells me “you have to let go of me.” These words have been echoing in my head. I see that the signs were there from the start and she has this trauma she can’t even tell me. I guess from the beginning she never let me fully into her life and I really wanted things to work out but they didn’t. Currently we agreed to a 3 month break and she has to be the one to reach out to me but my gut tells me it’s over. It hurts cause I was so vulnerable to her and the chemistry and love was there but the walls were there for her before me prevented her from truly being a great partner. I miss her and I am truly going through it cause it’s no one’s fault but letting go of someone you love is a cruel pain when the love never faded.

It hurts and I am truly feeling the pain of losing her because it’s no one’s fault. She needs to resolve her own problems and letting go of someone when the love never faded away is a pain so unbearable.
