So my gf (25F) broke up with me (23F) recently because she can’t come out to her family because she knows they won’t accept her and ofc our relationship. She even told me she can’t choose me over her family and can’t even stand the idea of her being kicked out by her family once she comes out.
For context, she’s the breadwinner of her family and supporting her youngest sister’s studies in college. We are working on the same company. She already had an ex gf but wasn’t also successful because of the same reason. Her mother, according to her, is so homophobic that scares her to come out.
I told her that she doesn’t have to choose between me and her family. I also told her that it’s fine with me to keep our relationship a little secret from her family so it wouldn’t be a problem to her but she insists that she’s really having a hard time. I have given her numerous assurances regarding this issue.
We’re currently on a break but continuously catching up with each other as if nothing happened except that she treats me as if we’re good having platonic relationship instead to at least maintain the friendship that we had before we became as couples.
I am very vocal that i would wait for her to make up her mind and perhaps come back with me since i don’t really want to break up with her. It’s been weeks since this happened and im afraid she’ll get used with our current setup. It’s not that i can force her to come back with me since she has other things needed to settle (re: being breadwinner) and our relationship is probably just one thing in her life.
What should i do? I’m really really anxious here and she kinda has some avoidant attachment.
