I have created a different thread elsewhere about my long-distance relationship. I would like to ask for different feedback rather then about the current situation of the relationship.

My gf is very much like a Cancer when it comes to emotions and very much like a Gemini when it comes to be a social butterfly with meeting people not partying.

We have decided to have space and think of our feelings before deciding to move forward or not with our long-distance relationship as moving forward we both know it cannot work as it is.

She has said that she is very much comfortable with me physically but sometimes struggles to be able to be able to be open emotionally in which case is why we are having this space.

Prior to this it was a bit of up and downs with saying we are breaking up and we don't (or when I say lets break up she then asks me for space instead) etc but now we have been on this break for the last 5 days. We decided that we should not add any rules on our break and that we text or call if we feel like but to give each other space.

During this break since Friday, I have posted a photo when socially out with friends and just added that I am in awesome company which have made her feel jealous...which then she posts pictures with friends too anyway. After I calmed her down that it was nothing just friends she thought I am dating someone else which of course is not the case as all I want is for us to overcome this and go back to making plans together!

Anyway after she calmed down she told me that we should go back to being on the break so we did not speak until yesterday...when she sent me a picture early in the morning saying "relationships are not broken by distance but doubts". I ignored it until the evening and instead I gave her a quick call, just to see how she is, asked her how her day was and how family is. She seemed surprise that I called and after we spoke for like 15mins we said good nights etc...later 30mins later she texted me that she does not feel like talking much and to go back taking our break.

I am a bit confused as it feels if I initiate something she tells me I should give her space and I am...but if she wants to start something its ok until it is ok for her.

Now I do not want to hear comments like, ahh leave her, she is being selfish etc etc...I would like to understand how to give this woman the space she deserves so maybe we will have another shot together. Should I just not text at all unless she does and then keep it short? I really cannot read into her head, also we are living in a seperate country which makes it super harder. I also know that in general she has problem with her emotions because of her upbringing so anything can make her shut down easily....

PS I am a Leo!

Yes she does over think and she is mainly worried for where (country) we can start again after our break. I have been telling her that for now we should not think about the logisitics of things as it only makes it stressful....

I think even making rules stressed her out a bit thats why I accepted to have no rules kinda....I want her to trust me again.

I guess I should not be in contact at all until she contacts me again?

I don't feel she is like that, but then again I always try to see the good in people....I do however think sometimes she is a bit selfish for example: I mentioned that I am maybe thinking of going to a short trip with a friend and she was asking who it is which is fine...but then told me like why I would want to go without her on a special trip.

I took it as a nice thing of her to say that she still wants to plan things with me, however it did make me feel disappointed as I like to travel a lot and until we can be together again (if we do), I am not saying no to travel all the time...

Travelling is something we both share the love for, but I understand that with her nature of work she cannot do it until end of September..Then again she did go on a day trip to another city where she is working! For me I cannot do that as I live on a tiny island so I need to fly to take my break!

So now she got super jealous over me going out and now decided to break up with me. She told me she does not know why she is jealous but fought over me leaving her. This girl has problems with herself and I do not think I am the cause of everything however I do not know how to stop this from going down the line of a breakup to never get back from!! I like her too much to let her go, she is special

I think just keep on making her feel that you love her. I am in a long distance thing with the cancer man i meet online. Cant wait to finally experience how jealous and clingy he can be 🙂 because even if i somehow feel it and he always say it i always feel im into him more than he is to me. Although he keeps on telling me thats just how i think. I guess just enjoy her jealousy and think its her own way of telling you how much she loves you and how much she wanted you to be just for her.

She sent me yesterday a sarcastic message as I added a photo on my whatsapp and cut her out. I am really lost, I am sure if I tried to make her feel more loved she will push me away more or just ignore me.

I don't know what else to do - in fact then I answered her in the evening only with a "good night". She broke up with me, she removed me from Facebook (she said in a couple of days will add me back just she needs a break - I guess so she does not see anything I post), so why would she bother what photo I add if she said she does not want me anymore?

Delete your account or block her so she can't see you. Otherwise it may take forever to move on

Good

Luck ❤️

So 5days later with no contact at all, she adds me back on Facebook. Sends me a whatsapp 2hrs later to let me know she has added me back on Facebook. Next morning she texts me again to ask how I am, how are things and if I am ok.

I did not reply to this. What should I think of all of this? Should I reply or ignore for a couple of days longer? I wanted to try to reach out after a month or so.

I've read this thread but not any other thread relating to this.

Frankly, you're not going to be able to do or say anything to make her feel better, secure, loved or anything else. This is because, despite anything you say or do, she will continue to move the goal posts along to suit her and whatever she wants.

Have you met in person?

What countries are you from?

Is there a reason you are both pursuing a long distance relationship such as religious, cultural or did you meet while in her/your country or something?

All of these things are important. They are practical and logical steps regarding how, if at all, you can continue this relationship. Right now, you're focusing much of your thoughts on the here and now, the text exchanges and the social media output, and how one particular message or photo or post steers what happens next. This is not helpful to either of you at all, and it's also not based on reality.

I thought the bit about her being emotionally hurt/doesn't open up was amusing especially as the apparent solution between you was to create even more space, even more gap, even more closed doors... Yeah, as if the secret to building an intimate relationship is to blow hot and cold, and then demand space to 'work on your feelings' of intimacy. That's just classic!

Before you continue worrying about what you should and should not say to this girl, whether you should or should not make plans for travelling with your friends, and whether you can or cannot call her or give her space... I would suggest you think about what YOU want out of this.

Right now, you don't have a long distance relationship. Right now you have a controlling, immature, insecure text buddy. Is this how you see things being for the next 40 years of your life? No, I didn't think so.

Wouldn't you prefer to have a real, loving, mutually respectful, and physical relationship with someone who doesn't blow hot and cold whenever they want to exert their control over you, who does want you to travel and enjoy life, and who does want to be right there with you, in person, in real life?

What needs to happen in order for you both to be physically together somewhere?
