She's Asking Why He's with Her
Russell, 23
Utah
Asks:
My girlfriend is asking why I would date her and stay with her through all the hard times. She makes it sound like she wants to break up. What does that mean?
Lee's Thoughts:
She could very well be prepping you for a break-up, but a more likely possibility is that she just needs some reassurance. Even girls in the happiest of relationships or marriages need to hear why you love them once in a while. Maybe she feels like she hasn't been the best girlfriend lately, or that she's been putting you through the ringer a little bit. She may just need to know that despite all the tough times, you still love her and still see a future with her.
Do not expect the worst. If you expect the worst, you will create the worst.
As I always say, women like to talk a lot more then men. Maybe she just needs to hear some things and luckily for you, she's being straightforward and simply asking. Don't worry. Just be gentle and talk to her.
