OK I've reached the point of mass confusion on this. I've been seeing a woman whose going through a divorce. She was physically abused during this period. Everything was alright between us with neither of us being to intrusive into the others life. She is taking care of three children, taken on a new job, and is attending a university. About a month ago she told me that she wanted to be more than a roll in the hay. Which was funny because I had been trying to get her to actually go out on a 'real' date for a while. So we agreed that both of us were interested in something a bit more than what it had started as. There had been problems connecting to talk or see each other for a while and then about a week ago, she says that I'm coming on too strong and the relationship has become too serious. She felt as though she was under too much stress and being pulled in too many directions to be in a 'relationship'. This was through a text message. She wouldn't take my phone calls, but sent me plenty of emails. After I backed off and gave her lots of room, about four or five days worth. I noticed on her my space account that she had set her mood to 'loved' and her status as 'moving on'. I freaked and tried to call her to see what she meant, why she just didn't tell me, etc. When I got her on the phone, she was happy to hear me and explained that she was loved by her kids and was moving on from her divorce. I was relieved. I asked if I could call her after work, she said yes around 9pm. I call and she won't answer or return messages.

Why the sudden change in mood? I know she's swamped and needs some space, but why tell me one thing, then do another. It's like I knew one person and am now confronted with another. Help.

  1. Its so hard to go through a divorce especially with kids involved. However the only thing that is going to stable this girl out is time. Time to figure things out for herself. Time for her and her kids to heal. About 4 years ago I went through a similar situation. I ended up burning bridges with a great guy because I was not stable emotionally at that time. If you can be the man on the back burner and just be a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen maybe you have a chance. But your going to be in for lots of ups and downs along the way.
