My girlfriend/best friend just broke it off with me for another girl. She claims to still be in love with me, but she wants to roam and see where different paths take her. She says that she doesn't want to lose me through all of that, though. She claims to be getting this (the wild child, the don't-tie-me-down beast) out of her system. She thinks what we have is strong enough to last indefinitely, and that once she's more mature we can be together 100%. I don't know about all this. I'm sad. I am trying my hardest not to be - when it's time for a change, it's time for a change, but it's hard. Does anybody have any advice for me? I'm only 16... I don't know where my life will lead, or who I will be with, or who I will be. I just don't want to wallow, and lose this time for myself. If anyone has any wise words, or any words really, I'd appreciate it.
You're young and have much to live. Though it hurts, just let go. I think it selfish for your girlfriend to want to sew her wild oats while trying to hold on to you also. I think you should both let go and if someday you come back together you do, and if not it wasn't meant to be. Peace
