Ladies-Help on a breakup needed. Please

Steviewonder

My girlfriend broke up with me after a year of dating.

I have given her the space she needs and we both agreed to be friends.

Should i give the week without contacting her and text xmas day for xmas wishes.

The reason we broke up is a mental issue on her side.. I respect that..

How should i act from here on?

We both are madly in love still which is hard to cope with.

Many thanks

I really think you should leave it until xmas to call or text, send her xmas wishes, ask her how shes doing and a small note about how you miss her or think about her a lot. seeing as ye are taking a break and haven't had any contact she might see that she wants to work at the relationship and her issues so ye can both be together. Time apart always makes me realise how much i love my bf and couldn't live without him!!!

Thanks for your reply..

I leave it till xmas day for sure..

She wants to sort herself out mentally before getting us back on track..

I hope this works..

any other advice?

I'm in the exact same position at the moment it's awful this time of the year, i don't know whether to get him a gift as it's only a break, whether to text him over Christmas etc!! I think it's 100% true absence will either make the heart grow fonder or drift apart and if your both still madly in love there's no way it's over! my boyfriend has personal issues going on also and I respect him and our relationship to take a stand back so he can sort himself out in order for us to move forward. Hopefully you and your girlfriend will have plenty more Christmas together, keep positive
