Weston Chloea month agoMy girlfriend (21F) and I (24M) have been together for 5 years, having met in high school. After she graduated, we moved in together about two years into our relationship. Things went well for a while, but after a period of long distance, we started having conversations about problems in the relationship that needed to be fixed. Unfortunately, nothing changed. On December 14th, we had one of those conversations again, and it led to us agreeing that a breakup might be best. We arranged for me to move out, but the next day, on December 15th, I told her I still wanted to fight for our relationship. She agreed to a two-week break with no contact, so we could both figure out how to not be so codependent on each other's happiness. We planned to meet after the break to discuss whether it’s worth trying again with a fresh start, almost like starting over as a new couple. I moved most of my things out by December 18th and we began the no-contact break. Last night (December 24th), we broke the no-contact rule because something important came up, and ended up talking about the break again. She mentioned that she's leaning toward not wanting to try again because she’s been happy during the break. I don’t want to give up on a 5-year relationship without truly fighting for it. If we’ve both been happy before, I don’t understand why we can’t try again. I’ve already suggested things I’d do differently this time to address the issues we’ve had. I would love any advice or thoughts on what to do next.134
