my girlfriend put our life on hold after a long time friend of hers told her he is in love with her. this was one month ago. she asked me to give her this time to sort things out for herself. it has hurt me and its been very stressful and i've expierenced anxiety attacks while waiting for her. she has known and respected this man for many years as a friend before she met me. she said she owes it to him to at least try. she is now ready to return to me after realizing she really does love me and wants a future with me. how do i regain my trust and respect for her and feel good about accepting her back?
