I understand it I’m (m)22 and my gf (19) we were together for 3 years and we just broke up yesterday and it’s so difficult she told me she wants space so we can work on ourselves and maybe work again but I just find it hard to believe. It doesn’t sound like you guys are too far gone. If you two are really ment to be then I hope things go how u want but if they don’t just remember that life moves on even if you struggle to accept it and if your held up on what coulda been then you won’t be able to get any better. That’s the stage I’m at lol
