Love / My polish girlfriend has changed following death of dad.. [153]

I was wondering if any polish woman could help me understand? My girlfriends dad died when she went to poland to help him with a illness she came back after the funeral and shes been mourning for 30 days and i respect that! but shes been very distant and angry towards me and wants space saying she doesnt know herself anymore. Can someone help me understand if this is common for polish woman? and how should i approach this

hey VaFunkoolo, if you could read and its pretty evident you cant i was asking to understand her situation and her traditions ... It has nothing to do with self centerness! man child? only a self absorbed person would come out and say something negative because they feel like they arent worth much. i was here for help not hurt

dude? yeah and i need the grip. This is coming from a guy that cant possibly have a girlfriend just from your words you can tell that your probably just a miserable person that needs to put down people because it makes you fell better when your sitting at home with a dirty t shirt on in your childhood bedroom cause you still live at moms, Thats the reality. You couldnt even percieve how iam to my girlfriend just the mere fact that i wanted advice is proof that i love her. I love to be loved and i understand to be understood. You might not get that cause of your ignorance, it means you have to give to recieve

i never met her dad, she said it was for family and his friends when he was living here. also everyone speaks polish and she siad it would be very uncomfortable for me. i really didnt give it thought just thought she should be with her family and respect the man which i have never met?

look shes never lied she has told me since this all happen that her main focus is her child and her mom and right now she doesnt have the thought or energy for a relationship while shes stressed about the last 4 weeks. i believe thats valid

There is no set time for grieve to end. It takes some ppl a lifetime to get over the loss of somebody dear. Just be patient with her, be there when she needs you and give her the space she needs. Just act like a good friend and in time everything will be ok. If you instead act like a little child and push her, you will most likely lose her forever. Just act like a good friend, it's the only thing you can do at the moment.

Im being patient but it seems to be a losing battle im felling like i shouldnt call cause i dont want to push but in the meantime im sitting here wondering? i will give it another week then i need to ask if i should part ways or not, I love her very much if this situation has changed her feelings i have no control of another person. its very unfortunate

Give her time to start missing you. Don't worry, it will very probably happen ;-)

well the party is going on and i do believe her sons father is thier whom she wasnt married too but, he always tries to get back with her over last 3yrs and he is polish from poland as well and knew the father, this is know making me wonder even more...

Face the facts:

i appreciate your input but the fear of the unknown is killing me, i understand her head is in another place, but i guess the key is to dont call and let her miss me if she does and stay put. On the flip side what if she doesnt come missing me and what time do i confront her? without being pushy or selfish

I agree with Magdalena. Your girlfriend's world has fallen apart

thats what i have been doing but the way the conversation goes it semms that im bothering her and its hard to keep calling it makes me fell im pushing her away more.

maybe so, but she seems to not be pushing the ex. consider all that when you're thinking about this situation eddie.

she needs him in her sons life i cant pass judgement on that i talked to her today and said that she would be honest if she wants me to move on and she would tell me and not string me along....

But I think plk123 has a good point. If the two of you had been very close before it would make sense that she would need you right now. Were you very close before? Has she let you visit her or spend time with her since the death

i was thier the day she got back she was a mess went over for easter for dessert we have gone to lunch twice and shopping... we had a little bit of a hard time before she left though but nothing out of ordinary

eddie sure hasn't come across as demanding.. some of you, on the other hand, come across as ice queens.

thx for your input plk123 but she broke it off this morning
