I hear you. I totally understand exactly where you're coming from.

She kept saying it was "so unusual" for her to not be living with someone and KEPT comparing our relationship to previous relationships she's had and how quickly in comparison she moved in with the others.

I see where she's coming from. She's nurtured to believe a relationship needs to move quickly when it comes to moving in together for that reason. I can't hate her for it, well I shouldn't anyway. She just needed to be more understanding in that sense. Maybe that's something she'll reconsider during the time and space.

I've think that sometimes the best relationships can happen after the first try. The time and space she's forced into us has helped me see what I need to work on (and I did, I no longer care about what my parents or family might think of me doing things against the culture I was hardly born into). Maybe it'll help her too. I'd like to share the changes I've felt with her and hear hers. It'd be nice because at the very least I do just want to talk, even if it doesn't end with is getting back together.
