Hi Michael,
I understand your situation as I experienced something very similar. It’s hard to go without contact and the endless hours of wondering “what if” can be very draining. Having survived my situation, I can only tell you that you did nothing wrong. You didn’t drive her away; you didn’t make her uneasy or unsure of your future together. Those feelings derived from her own perceptions.
Please do not think that you weren’t ‘good enough’. I drove myself into a depression with thoughts like that, only to finally realize that I was punishing myself for another person’s actions. Doesn’t make sense, does it?! Recognize that you treated her with respect and care, and give yourself credit for that. You’re a good person.
So is timing everything? Hmm, it depends on how you look at it. Perhaps it was the perfect time for you to meet that girl. What did you learn from her? Why did she enter your life? Maybe in the whole scheme of things, she was just a great stepping stone for you to get to where you need to be…..
Stay positive and please keep up the no contact.
