i'm 20 and she's 20 as well. we've been together for 5 years. she's the type of girl who never talks about how she feels and holds everything inside. i never knew what was wrong and suddenly she said she needed time alone because she doesn't know how she feels. i told her that i respect that and i'm willing to wait as long as it takes. but ever since then..its like i'm dying inside. its so hard to give her time. i know i want to i reallly do its just im suffering and i can't even focus or eat right. she told me theres no one else she's seeing and that i still have a chance with her but.. i don't know what to do or what she's thinking..is she taking this time alone to get over me? am i waiting just to be heartbroken? all these kinds of thoughts come up everyday and i can't stop thinking about it. what does she mean when she wants time alone? what does it mean for you girls when you say you want time alone?
