I have been dating my girlfriend for over a year now but i have known her for longer. she has been staying at my place more and more and as far as i could tell the relationship is getting more serious. we are both in our mid to late 20's and marriage hasn't been discussed but is definitely come up in casual conversation. i got her a ring and she views it as a promise ring. a few weeks ago i moved out of my place to a new one and the logical decision is to have her move in. we are both poor college grads and could both use the extra money. so i brought it up a few months ago and she was totally on board. a week or so before the move she tells me that she would like to instead move in with her parents. we have now decided to take a break. she still cares about me and still loves me and told me to worry because everything will be ok in the end. today we were discussing why i can live my life transparently and why its ok she has become, for all intents and purposes, a stranger to me. she responded by telling me to expect the best of her and told me to go listen to "half of my heart" by john mayer. so i have and that song is literally how she feels. i am the type that listens to logic over emotions and views them almost as a weakness, where as she is the opposite. she has gotten herself into a lot of bad places by not listening to her head. she has also had all long term relationships and hasn't ever been without a boy since high school. she has told me that she wants nothing to do with relationships right now both with me or otherwise so im not really worried about there being some one else. is there anyone that can offer up any sort of advice? or anything i can do to help either her or myself through this?
