I don't know what to do anymore. A few days ago my girlfriend broke up with me. Actually, she asked for some time, which is a nice way of saying break up. I was crushed, not only because I love her more than anything, but for the reason of the break up. She didn't fall out of love with me, we didn't fight or anything like that. It's just... she can't come out to her parents. She's absolutely certain she's going to get kicked out of the house and she's only 19 and there's no way she's going to be able to get by on her own, what with college and stuff. And her brother, the little asshole, knows about us and he's been threatening to tell their parents, and her mother is getting suspicious and the distance is so very hard (she lives in another state) that she just couldn't take it anymore. She was getting more and more stressed out and we were discussing over the littlest things and... You know?
I cried for days. I wanted so badly to tell her to just... fight for us, y'know? She loves me but she's scared of what might happen. And I understand, I swear I do, but it hurts like hell. So, cliched lesbian couple that we are, we decided to remain friends. Because, damn it, we'd been friends for five years before we ever started dating and I just want her in my life, anyway I can have her. Which is sad and pathetic, but I couldn't imagine living without her in some way.
So, we still talk normally on the web, and text each other. Just like before the break up. It's the same. The pet names, the flirting, the smiles. We're still in love with each other, just not... officially together anymore. It's like we're in limbo and I have no idea what's going on. What should I do? I mean, I keep hoping she'll change her mind and we'll get together again but what if we don't? What if she finds someone else? I'm so confused, I don't know what to do.
