God I hate that I’m even typing this but I am genuinely lost. Over the past two weeks me and my girlfriend of nearly 9 months have been having a rough time. No actual serious arguments just nearly constant petty moods or bickering. On Friday night we decided to talk it out (as we always have), and both agreed we hadn’t had a “good day” in a while. She eventually told me she’d felt, since February, that she needed some more space. Now I’ll throw my hands up admit I can be a bit of a clingy girlfriend and I’ll never deny her wanting space in the slightest, I told her I’d do whatever she needed to help, however (and I did tell her this), I’ve felt the exact opposite. Recently I’ve felt like we’ve been a bit more distant, and it didn’t bother me too badly in all fairness, but when she said she wanted more space the realisation that we had completely different feelings over the matter just hit me like a brick. I suggested that if we couldn’t come to a solution by Sunday night maybe it’s time for a break, and we both agreed to it (even though neither of us really want one, I thought it might be in our best interest). However, we eventually agreed that we’d have days to be closer and days where we have space in the week, and in all honesty I’m not over the moon about it but I want to try to see if it helps. My final point is that a couple hours ago we both said we’ve actually had a fairly good weekend (no bickering or moods or anything), but after shed gone to bed I kind of just realised, we’ve spoken so little this weekend (I was staying over at a friends house and she was out with her parents all weekend). If you can’t see what I mean, the only two good days we’ve had in two weeks were when we weren’t speaking. I genuinely love her so much we were both speaking of our future together a month ago and just almost out of nowhere it’s come crashing down. I just don’t know what to do.
TLDR: Recent petty but frequent conflicts between me and my girlfriend, we both have different feelings about the situation Bht want to work it out, is it doable or even worth it?
