AdviceforThought, So yesterday, my girlfriend told me that she thinks our relationship moved too fast & wants to try being friends for a bit because she feels bad about not being there for me when I’m going through things(which I told her is fine because I know she can’t be there every time) & is stressed by other things in her life. This kinda made me feel like I wasn’t enough for her or I didn’t do enough as her boyfriend & I want to talk to her & get things to go back to how they were before. How do I do it?

Let her be. Give her the time she needs. Don’t try so hard to put things back together. Take her feelings into consideration. I went through the exact same thing last year and because he pushed too hard to try to fix things, it made me run the other way. I literally didn’t want to talk to him ever again. So give her time. If she says she wants to be friends for a bit, then try it out first.
