My girlfriend [20F] wants to end our relationship so she can deepen her spiritual connection with God.

A couple of months ago, I met a girl at an Amazon Warehouse, and she quickly became one of the sweetest people I've ever encountered. We chatted for a few weeks before I got to know her friends, which included another guy. Initially, I viewed her only as a friend, but as we spent more time hanging out and visiting each other’s homes, my feelings started to change. One evening, while we were having dinner and enjoying a few drinks, she unexpectedly began feeding me popcorn, and I reciprocated. That moment seemed to ignite something between us. However, the next day she revealed for the first time that she had a boyfriend. To make a long story short, she and her boyfriend were facing challenges in their relationship, and she ultimately decided to end things with him and be with me instead. Now, though, she often expresses feelings of guilt and that she hasn’t had enough time to heal. It’s causing her distress in her spiritual life, and she frequently talks about wanting to leave me. I genuinely care for her—I treat her well, compliment her daily, give her flowers, and make sure she has what she needs. However, I’m puzzled about why she seems willing to give up on our relationship without trying to work through things. Just last night, we spent time together, and it felt perfect, even in more intimate moments. Still, she insists that she needs to focus on her relationship with God and make the right choices. I’ve fallen deeply in love with her, so I'm unsure what to do next. Should I consider giving her space?

Is it worth having an open conversation with her about her feelings and the possibility of giving each other space to focus on personal growth?

Do you think giving her space could help her clarify her feelings about the relationship and her spiritual journey?

It sounds like a tough situation. It's clear you care deeply for her, but her spiritual journey is important to her too. Giving her space might help her find clarity and heal. Let her know you support her, but also communicate your feelings honestly. Sometimes, love means allowing someone to explore their path. Take care!
