I'm with this girl for almost a year (I'm 25 and she's 27). The other day she told me that she needs to distance herself from me in order to go back with her ex.

She says I'm what she always dreamed about and that she cannot break up with me straight away. She needs to do it gradually by stop seeing each other everyday, texting and so forth.

She also says she wants me in her life, no matter what, because after all we've lived together she would die if I cut all contacts with her.

The all situation sounds a little bit weird to me and her attitude seems somewhat dysfunctional. She talks about it like she MUST go back with her ex. She's even planning how to do it, like it was a project assigned at work.

I don't know what to do and what to think. I'm really in love with her (it is also my first girlfriend), so for me it's really difficult.

What do you guys think?

Thank you!

Cut all ties and bail immediately.

Were you really thinking that there would be another course of action here?

I think she sounds pretty immature.

If I were you, I would cut all contact with her immediately. Delete, block, etc. Can you imagine the nerve of a person who would say, "I don't want to be with you anymore. I want my ex. But I am too much of a baby to actually break up with you, so I am going to keep you around so I don't get all sad."

Ugh. Buh-bye!!

I've never heard of such nonsense.

Ask her to marry you.

Or maybe a child would draw you together ?

I think you just got dumped in a very strange way.


You're welcome.

Tell her bye bye, and move on. She is trying to keep you on a string while she tries to line up another man.
She is making you plan B.
