Is it possible she felt she was psychically “carrying” you all these years? As in, you were an aspect in her life, but that being one of her aspects was your life? I hear this a lot from women. “My man has no friends.” “My husband works, comes home, eats, watches TV and goes to bed.” “I can’t leave my boyfriend, what would he do?”

Also, what *was* THE reason she gave for leaving the first time? That is also very important.

So, yes, take that trip alone! Make at least one friend. This has to be local, same age, you visit each other’s homes to count. Then, find something to do that interests you, that’s all your own! Then you will be equipped to be more fulfilled with your girlfriend ~ or know if you give her the boot this time!
