Severek Ayrilmak Mümkün mü?

Merhaba,

23 yaşındayım ve yaklaşık 7 aydır bir ilişkim var. Kız arkadaşım (23) beni gerçekten çok seviyor, çok sadık, çok fedakâr ve iyi kalpli bir insan. Son zamanlarda ilişkide yaşadığımız bazı problemler oldu. Özellikle küçük şeylere çok üzülmesi ve içine kapanması beni zamanla yordu. Geçenlerde bunları açıkça konuştuk. Beni dinledi, hak verdi ve değişmeye çalışacağını söyledi.

Sorun şu ki artık kafam çok karışık.

Ben Isvicre'de dünya capinda taninir bi universitede elektrik mühendisligi okuyorum. Bilim, matematik, tarih, felsefe, ekonomi, edebiyat gibi konularla ilgileniyorum ve bir partnerde de en azından belli bir seviyede entelektüel paylaşım aradığımı fark ettim. Kız arkadaşım ise bu konulara pek ilgi duymuyor. Onun zeki olmadığını düşünmüyorum hatta tam tersi aslinda baya zeki bir insan ama dünyaya bakışımız ve ilgi alanlarımız oldukça farklı. Bazen onunla konuşurken fikir alışverişi yerine sadece benim anlattığımı hissediyorum. Bu bahsettigim konulardan hicbiri hakkinda derin bir sohbet yapamiyorum.

Bir diğer konu da gelecek planları. Kendisi şu an Almanya'da meslek eğitimi alıyor ve ileride üniversite okumak istiyor (ikimizin arasi yaklasik 1.5-2 saat uzaklikta). Ama üniversiteye gelene kadar en az 3 yili var. Üstelik, kendisi Afganistan'dan oldugu icin aldigi lise egitimi cok düsük seviyede, temel dersler konusunda ciddi eksikleri var ve bu yolun onun için çok zor olacağını düşünüyorum ve hatta yolun yarisinda pes ederse ne yaparim diyorum. Yine de kendisi bizim geleceğimiz için çaba göstermeye çalışıyor ve su ana kadar aksi bir durumda da bulunmadi. Hatta bazı gelecek hayallerinden vazgeçti, normalde ailesinin yanina (Amerika'ya) gitmek istiyordu ama ben Avrupada kalmak istedigim icin vazgecti. Öte yandan kizin henüz üniversite okumamasindan ve Afgan olmasindan ötürü benim ailemle yasadigim problemler de var cünkü kizi kabullenmek, onunla tanismak, gorusmek istemiyorlar.

Yine de vicdanen cok zorlanıyorum. Çünkü ben ilişkiyi sorgularken o ilişki için emek vermeye çalışıyor ve beni gercekten cok seviyor.

Bir yanım diyor ki:
"Bu kadar seven, sadık ve iyi bir insanı kaybetme. Ona ve ilişkiye biraz daha zaman ver."

Diğer yanım ise:
"Ya yıllarca beklersem ve sonunda yine aynı noktaya gelirsem? Ya temel uyumsuzluklar hiç çözülmezse?"

Kafamı karıştıran şey şu: İlişkiyi bitirmek istememin sebebi sevgimin bitmiş olması değil. Daha çok uzun vadede uyumlu bir gelecek kurup kuramayacağımızdan emin olamamam. Bu durumda da 7 ayin üzerine koydugum her vakit bosa giden bir vakit olabilir gibi hissediyorum.

Benzer bir durum yaşamış olan veya dışarıdan objektif bakabilecek kişiler ne düşünüyor? Severek ayrilmak gercekten mümkün mü yoksa sevenler hicbir zaman ayrilmazlar mi?

TL;DR: 7 aylık ilişkimde beni çok seven, sadık ve iyi kalpli bir kız arkadaşım var. Ancak entelektüel uyum ve gelecek planları konusunda ciddi şüphelerim oluştu. O ilişki için çabalarken benim ayrılmayı düşünmem de vicdan azabı yaratıyor. Devam edip zaman mı vermeliyim, yoksa bu şüpheler ilişkinin geleceği hakkında yeterince şey söylüyor mu?

I (23M), struggling between loving my girlfriend (23F), and also being emotionally detached from her

I (23M) have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for 7 months.

For the first few months, things were generally good. We had normal arguments here and there, but we always managed to solve them quickly.

However, during the last two months, she started getting sad about many small things and would often fixate on them. What made it especially difficult for me was that when she got upset, she would sometimes stop talking to me for a while and refuse to tell me what was wrong, even when I repeatedly asked. Over time, I found this emotionally exhausting.

Recently, I had a very serious conversation with her. I explained all the issues I had been struggling with, and to her credit, she listened carefully, accepted responsibility, and said she would try to change. Since then, she has actually been making an effort.

The problem is that I expected to feel relieved after that conversation, but I don't.

She is an incredibly loving and caring person. Honestly, she probably loves me more deeply than anyone ever has. She has many qualities that I would want in a long-term partner.

Yet I feel emotionally numb. I feel drained, and I feel guilty for feeling that way because she isn't really doing anything wrong anymore. Sometimes I even feel relieved when I have my own space, which makes me question my feelings even more.

Another issue is that I sometimes feel we are not very compatible in terms of interests. I enjoy topics like science, mathematics, history, philosophy, literature, and similar things, while she has little interest in those areas. Most of the time we spend together consists of watching movies, having sex, or playing board games. While those things are enjoyable, I sometimes feel bored and wonder whether we connect deeply enough outside of them.

I care about her deeply and don't want to hurt her, but I am no longer sure whether I want to continue the relationship. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is this emotional numbness and loss of spark something that can come back after a difficult period, or is it usually a sign that the relationship has run its course?

TL;DR My girlfriend became emotionally draining over the last couple of months due to frequent sadness and shutting down communication. We recently had a serious talk, she listened and is genuinely trying to change, but instead of feeling better, I feel emotionally numb and relieved when I have my own space. I care about her deeply and don't want to hurt her, but I'm no longer sure I want the relationship. Is this temporary burnout, or have my feelings genuinely faded?

I (23M) feel like my girlfriend (23F) is draining me all the time in the relationship and I am asking for advice?

I (23M) have been with my girlfriend (23F) for 7 months. We always had small arguments, but nothing too serious until the last month, which has become extremely exhausting for me.

For context, I study at a very demanding university, and she is studying to become a medical assistant. During May, she stayed at my place to prepare for her final exams while I helped her study. She was under a lot of stress, which I completely understand, but she would also get very sad over small things constantly.

For example, I wanted to play basketball with my friends for 2 hours after not going for months because we always spent weekends together. She became upset about it even though she was studying during that time anyway. She often gets sad very quickly, and when that happens, she stops talking to me completely. Even if I ask what is wrong, it can take 30–60 minutes before she speaks again. After months of this, it starts making me feel emotionally drained.

Another example: when my parents visited me during winter, I still went outside every night to call her and say goodnight. One night, she stayed silent for 40 minutes while I stood outside freezing, only to later explain she was upset because of an argument with her sister.

During her exam period, things became even harder. Since she studies by repeating things out loud and I need complete silence to study, I basically could not work at all while staying with her. Whenever I left the chair next to her, she would sometimes start crying until I calmed her down.

After the exams were finished, I went back home because I had appointments with my professor. She said we should go shopping on the weekend, and I said we can't because I need to study for my exams. Then, she started blaming me, saying that I don't care about her anymore, I don't want to spend time with her anymore, etc., and so I agreed to meet with her again on the weekend, thinking that I could talk things through with her to sort things out. So on Saturday, we decided to meet. The place was a bit far away from me, and the internet doesn't work unless I am right in the city, so I was a bit late (10-15) minutes (it was because of the train being late), but I told her that earlier. She got angry at me there, shut the phone in my face a couple of times till I arrived, and all the hopes of me talking to her also disappeared. Anyhow, we started talking about the problems, and we couldn't agree on anything. Then I said, if we can't agree, it is natural for us to stop it here, and stop hurting each other anymore. She asked if I was sure, and I said I know it's a decision I will regret in the future, but yes, I am sure. I said that all my prayers would be with her all the time, all my life. Just as I was about to get up from the chair, she held me, she said that she was sorry, and it must be because of the pills that she is sad all the time. I said, if we come this far again, I am not going to hesitate to break up next time (which I must say was a mistake and was very harsh). The weekend, we spent at her place, and at night she woke up and cried.

The problem is, I do love her a lot, and I know she loves me a lot. I care for her, and she cares for me at least 10 times more. However, over the months, this relationship has become very exhausting and draining for me. I want to break up, but I don't know if I'll meet another person who would care for me the way she cared for me. I also don't know what to say in case of a breakup. Like every couple, we dreamt of building a life together, but it's not working for me anymore. Even after that talk we had, I still feel very exhausted, and I don't know if this feeling in me will ever go away, while I also don't want to lose her.

TL;DR: My girlfriend's behaviour is draining me all the time, but we love each other so much that I don't know what to do and seek advice.

I honestly don’t know what to do, and I am asking for your advice.
