I have been dating my current girlfriend for a little over 4 years now. We used to be able to cuddle and be intimate all the time but around Valentine’s Day last year she had a mental break. I couldn’t see her for about 6 months because it would make her so anxious. During this time, she developed some touch aversion. Things have slowly been drifting apart for us romantically since about August of last year. Last night she decided that we should break things off because of conversations we had in the past about me not wanting to spend the rest of my life with her if she can’t get over this to some degree. I offered to pay for therapy or anything else she thinks might help and reassured her that I’m still deeply in love with her. She said she still loves me too but she’s not sure that anything will help her with her touch aversion. We both cried for about two hours before I had to leave her so I still think there are feelings on her side too. I fully intended to marry this woman and was not expecting a breakup to happen. I feel shattered and don’t know how to carry myself without her in my life and it’s hasn’t even been 24 hours since the breakup. If anyone has ever dealt with anything like this or has any advice that can help I am all ears.
