I've never had a relationship end with a kiss and I love you and still end.

Recently got into a relationship with someone I reconnected with from highschool. We always had feelings for each other but weren't ever able to give it a shot till now.

Everything was fine but we both have some mental illness problems. Mine being severe anxiety hers being bi polar II.

Like any relationship it wasn't perfect and we definitely made some mistakes that would take forever to explain but yesterday she told me that she needs too not fold and be single because she really wants that to focus on herself. And she doesn't know how to do that in a relationship. She doesn't want to lose me but she doesn't want to fold for herself.

I'm doing my best to believe her but I've had someone say that to me before and then the next day I found out they were lying and were already seeing someone else.

For what it's worth I believe her. I don't think she's lying but at the same time my head is telling me thats just something people say to get out of things when they don't want to hurt someone.

We ended the relationship both crying, with a kiss, and saying I love you. And that we will try to wait for each other but I just don't know if I'm fooling myself in believing her and keeping hope.
