    I recently was in a relationship for 4 years. One month ago I got a text saying she couldn’t do this right now. She said she needs time and space.she is getting sober and working a 12 step program. I was there threw all the hell hospitalizations, suicide attempts,overdoses, and I always was supportive. I truly love her unconditionally and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. We started hanging out less but still talking because of her program and meetings.  I haven’t talked with her for 2 weeks. I told her how I feel only to get a response of don’t you think this is hard for me too. We ended on I love you and she said she would call me later to finish the conversation. She didn’t. Now she won’t respond to me.it makes me feel used like I was good to only pick up the pieces. I also feel like there maybe someone else. This is why I don’t know what to do. My heart would have me waiting forever for her, but my head tells me to judge her on her actions. This whole experience has left me extremely depressed. I see a doctor this week because it seems like its getting worse. I just can’t understand how after 4 years and everything we have been threw together it could end on a text message. Need advice on whether I should wait or not. This has really messed up my head. Any advice would be truly appreciated. Thanks

    Dear Chris:

    I hope you feel much better and soon, and that she will communicate clearly with you, in person.

    You wrote: “it makes me feel used like I was good to only pick up the pieces”- if you picked up the pieces, her pieces, during “all the hell hospitalizations, suicide attempts, overdoses”, you didn’t place those pieces where they belong, in a healthy new woman, did you. Nor could you.

    What is right for her to do is to be engaged in the (long, long… ) process of placing her pieces where they belong, forming or reforming a healthy individual. She owes you, I believe, a clear, in person, honest and straightforward communication, letting you know where she is at, in her thoughts, intentions, motivations.

    Maybe you can ask her to do just that- to let you know, so that you can have the information you need to make an informative decision on “to wait of give up”?
