    Thank you very much for the replies people!

    I’ve read your replies multiple times and really appreciate the time you have taken out of your lives to tell me your story and also try and help me out!

    Jennifer you’re right! I do need to try and trust and let go, she’s really trying with me and now it’s just myself I have to sort out and totally understand that if I do keep bringing it up it may push her away. I havn’t done it much so far have been really trying to sort it myself.

    I wish the best for everyone else also, and once again thank you!

    UPDATE

    Hey guys just an update on the situation. I’ve come to a new dilemma (Which i knew i was going to)

    Long story short she ended up telling the workmate (guy was seeing/he thought they were together) that it wasn’t going to work out with them and that it cant go any further. (Now i understand she did it, but I thought her telling him the truth that her and I are back together wouldve been better as I feel he’s going to be persistant now with txting her outside of work). I told her that its basically me (Our relationship/future together) or it’s him and his friendship, i could never trust them two being friends after what has happened and while we’re together. She knows this but said it’s still sad she is losing a friend in this. Which i do understand but it’s not nice hearing that my from point of view that she’s sad, but shes gaining a relationship with me that she loves and a possible future together.

    Her actions towards me are fine, she’s showing me love, shes saying all the right things, but it’s still not enough right now to get me over this trust hump.

    So my dilemma is trust. I knew it was going to be all a long but I’m just wanting to know is there any tips or anything suggestions of trusting her. She knows she has to build my trust back up. She’s told me she’s not going to be in contact with him outside of work. In which he’s already began to txt her so i’m just taking her word on it at the moment, but I don’t want to keep pestering her about it as it’ll become toxic between us.

    Thanks

    First of all thank you for the replies. Ultimately I know it comes down to me. Just to answer a few questions that you guys have asked.

    She was friends with this work mate before I came onto the scene. But I could see he always had a thing for her even when we were together. We broke up and yea within the 4-5 months they started seeing eachother.

    She tells me the only reason why shes putting it off (And she agrees this is an easy way out) is that he’s currently looking for a new job & I guess is kinda hoping he gets it so she doesn’t have to face him on a day to day basis after she does it. And at the moment they’re doing projects together within the company, so ending it is going to make that very awkward. In which i understand, but it comes down to keeping this professional aswell. Yes it will be awkward but if this is something you want, and mean everything she says, it still should be no problem. I agree with what was said up further, that she probably is scared that she’s going to lose him as a friend, but she most likely is going to, and also I do think she is afraid to put her feelings first. I feel shes scared of hurting his feelings but in doing this, she’s hurting mine.

    She has promised me it’ll be ended within 3 weeks. I guess now I have to suck it up for 3 weeks, love her from a distance and go from there. I’ve given the 3 weeks to myself and that’s it, if it’s not done by then I have to walk away and move on and let her know I won’t be sitting waiting. It’s gone on long enough.

    The stuff she has said to me isn’t just your normal I love you’s like ive explained. It has involved both of our families and more, so it’s not stuff you just throw around willy nilly.

    The trusting her you’re right is very hard at the moment. And it will continue to be like this until she does end it. I know that’ll be a weight off my shoulders, and even hers.

    She’s told me she wished she never ever got in this situation with him, she would’ve never done it if she knew that we ever had another chance of getting back together. But she has, and that’s something she’s going to have to face if she does want us.

    Thank you for your replies, as i’ve seen in them everyone basically agrees with, if she loves me, she should have no problem sorting this out asap. This is the bit im struggling to deal with. Like I said i’ve put a timeline on this, and she has promised. So 3 weeks (End of May) has promised it will be all sorted. Time will tell. For now loving from a distance, and not initiating contact or catchups!

    Thanks you

    This is just a short reply but it’s something that I did myself and was in a kinda similar situation.

    “If you love something, set it free, if it comes back it was meant to be”

    You may just need to go experience life a bit more to figure out what you really want. If in time you do figure out what you want, and those feelings are still there for her, then go from there.

    I did a similar thing letting my gf go, but it was her that had the commitment issues. Let her know you love her, but need some time to figure out what you want!
