Sad and Scared
Relationship Stress / by peachiejuice

...See more My girlfriend recently asked for a break in our relationship. She says it's because she feels like she can't trust anything I say whenever I comfort her. Like she just thinks I'm 'dousing fires' according to her words. I think it's because I can't help but feel like I have to carefully choose my words to put my feelings into words properly without being misunderstood... I don't want to suspect that everything she feels is just from her bipolar disorder. Sometimes I do say or do something wrong but sometimes it really feels like I don't think she understands the context and every time I defend myself, it's like digging myself into a hole. Admittedly, I say sorry most of the time even when I think I didn't say anything wrong... Now she wants a break because she's tired of feeling paranoid. I don't want to lose her. I'm scared. And she also recently admitted that her ex had been texting her although she has been rejecting his advances. I can't help but feel maybe she wants to give others a chance again because I'm not putting enough effort in the relationship as she believes... What should I do? I feel like saying yes to the break will hurt me real bad. I've stated that I want to work things out no matter what but I know people might say let go and see what happens... ugh...
