I'm a successful 26 year old professional. I've been in a really difficult situation with my ex-girlfriend, one who I'm still very much in love with. We have everything in common and dated happily for a year and a half. Unfortunately, the company she started with her family came to eat up more and more of her time, and her attention toward me. I became third priority behind the business, and her brother.
It was so good, and I know it still could be, but we broke up after we became bitter at each other, myself, because I wanted more of her in our relationship, and she, because she couldn't deal with my demands. I wouldn't say I'm a needy person, but I did want to feel like I was in a relationship.
Each time we talk or spend time together, my love for her is replenished, and although I'm almost positive it's the same for her, she refuses to even suggest it might be worth it to try it out again. All she's said is 'it just didn't work'. The last thing I want to do is ask her why she wouldn't entertain the idea, but I'm almost positive it's the pressure of her work and her family and the influence everyone else's perceptions of our relationship have on her.
On a final note, this past weekend we messed around a little bit though there was no sex, no kissing, and no evidence of it between us the next day. It happened twice. This weekend, she's coming over to watch the Dallas-Giants game. I like Dallas +8.5, is that a good bet?
