Ok so I currently have no idea whats going on between me and my girlfriend if thats what she in fact is.
After we split, I moved out of our place and back in with my folks. Almost straight away she said she didn't want to split up and that we were just taking a step back to sort out some issues.
The biggest problem is I don't understand these issues and how to work them out.
A few good signs are she asked me to stay at hers (formerly ours) last Friday and I've stayed there every night since. But tonight I'll stay at home and its messing with my head.
How can we be together and move on when our issue were born out of living together which we now don't? Confused....... I sure am.
whoknows
I wonder if she's looking for some kind of deeper commitment from you? I don't know her or you (obviously), but she's 32 and unless she's been married before (which has put me off for life!) she's possibly thinking it's about time she 'settled down' - biological clock and so on (vast sweeping generalisation). That would kind of fit with why she suddenly started to want to do things all couply?
She may be wanting this split to result in you seeing what you've got and how you don't want to lose it and thus get some kind of declaration from you. Or I may be way off track. Only you know the conversations and the reasons.
The only bit that looks bleak is how she wants the couply thing and you want to go out, and there might be more to this; she might be seeing an age-gap thing going on there (when in fact it is more likely to be a personality difference unless it is totally new in her).
The only advice I can give you is to talk about things and try to find out what's going on in her head - what the issues really are.
Then again, just ignore me. I'm rubbish at dealing with my own life, dunno what's possessing me to comment on someone else's!
