My (29M) girlfriend (27F) of 5 years just got over cancer. I supported her through it entirely, worked remotely and passed up some opportunities to support her and take care of her. She just asked for space and I haven’t heard from her in 6 weeks and I haven’t reached out because I wanted to respect her request. Now she’s deleted all pictures of us with lovey-dovey captions on social media. She had said she still loves me she just doesn’t know what she wants and needs to find what makes her happy. But it feels like she’s just discarded me in the easiest way possible. Obviously we had Covid lockdowns and then were locked down with cancer so it had been a while since we had real fun but we used to have a lot and be really strong.
I care about her a lot, or I wouldn’t have stuck by her obviously, but this feels terrible. We had moved to a new state right before Covid and the only friend she has really that isn’t also a friend of mine is a toxic coworker who just went through a really rough breakup. I am sitting here because I feel like I got no closure, so do I move on, do I work on myself and assume she will reach out? Any advice would be great.
