My girlfriend and I recently decided to go on a holiday. When we returned, she said she needed some time to think about whether I was right for her. I asked her to explain, and she told me the holiday had been a bad experience for her. I was surprised because I thought we had a great time and I enjoyed myself completely. She didn’t give me a specific reason and asked me not to push the issue when I insisted on a better explanation. She has not been communicating with me much since then, and I am confused because I still can’t think of anything that went wrong. Is this just something she is using as an excuse to end the relationship? What should I do?
The idea of a holiday is to get to know someone better, because it allows us to see sides of people we wouldn’t otherwise see in a normal everyday setting. If she wants to end this relationship, any excuse will do because it won’t matter. I suggest you allow her to think about what went wrong, acknowledge that you both had clearly different experiences on this trip, and accept her decision when she arrives at one because you really have no other choice. If she chooses to elaborate, that is her prerogative because, even though she may owe you a better explanation, there is nothing you can do to force it if she isn’t comfortable talking about it. I suggest you simply wait until she decides to be more specific.
Should I try and convince my boyfriend to meet my parents even though he doesn’t like them? It’s important to me because they need to get to know him better, but he is just stubborn about it and doesn’t see why this is important.
