Open Question: how do you help someone you love that has severe abandoment issues?

I dated this girl for a few months after I was friends with her for a while. Her father left when she was a baby and was never around, and she was engaged to a guy that was physically and verbally abusive to her. He put her in the hospital and she now has a restraining order against him, yet he doesn't quite seem to get the hint and she is still dealing with that after two years. Things between us were fantastic until one day she just turned it off like she flipped a switch. I later find out that she has a history of this with guys that she has dated and even her friends. As soon as she finds herself close to others she has a freak out. Now it has been a few months since we have broken up and we still talk to each other and hang out. She has opened up to me a lot in this time and has told me her story about what has happened in her life, that she has a tendency of freaking out, that she feels like she made a mistake, and that she does not want to date anyone until she figures her problems out. I really clicked with her and care for her very much and it kills me to see her in pain. I understand that we may never get back together and that is fine with me. I would rather see her happy. I don't feel as though I am wasting my time because if that what it takes to help her even to be some one else, her happiness is what concerns me. Now with that novel being said. What the hell do I do. I am there for her, I listen, I talk and try to take her mind off of it. I do try to lightly push her to talk every now and then because I know that if she keeps it bottled up she will never be happy. It is really a delicate subject with her and I just dont know what to do any more. I dont want to walk away either because of things that we said during our relationship, and mostly I dont want to add to her abandoment issues because of those said things. Love is knowing when to let go, I just dont want to do it prematurely and add to her misery. Any thoughs or advice would be great because my hair is naturally falling out and I cant afford to pull any more of it out on my own. Thanks

Open Question: My girlfriend has left me to think about what she wants in life?

I had been with my girlfriend for 3.5 years and love her more than anything. We dated for around 18 months, had some amazing times, it was incredible, I had never been so in love and niether had she. We moved in together buying a house near where we work. Then the problems stated to begin. She had moved 25 miles down the motorway away from her friends and family, we reluctantly decided to do this as we could not afford the cost of 2 cars commuting 50 miles round trip in traffic each day. She misses her family and feels she doesn't have enough money to see them as much as she would like. Also, we work together, so may be we see too much of each other and we irritated each other at times. In addition to this we work shifts, sometimes opposite ones, so we would see each other tired and stressed. It caused us to not be as happy together as lack of money, working together, and my girlfriend not seeing her family and friends as much has put a real strain on us. 2 years have passed, there is light at the end of the tunnel as mortgage payments are 50% less due to the low interest rate, we are able to sell the house (climate not the best though), she could change jobs as we can afford for her to earn less. The job she wants to do pays 6k p.a. less. 2 weeks ago we had a couple of petty arguments. The main one was for 10 days we worked opposite shifts and had different days off, then the day before we both had a day off together she said she was going to see her mom for the day so I would not see her. I was annoyed as I missed her etc. However it wasn't a major fallout/argument. Then when she was with her mom we had a little row about something. When she got home she said we needed to talk, however she said she wasn't happy in the relationship and was going to move back to her Mom and Dad's to think about things, she said she still loves me but her feelings have changed, she doesn't feel like she is in love with me like that. We were texting and speaking to each other regular, I met up with her after a few days to talk. I told her how much I loved her and that I want to change things between us, move house, she can change jobs, I will try anything. I said lets try going on a few dates and see how we go, start having fun again. She said she would think about it. 3 days after that she called around our house to say she had thought about things, she's still not happy so wanted to break up. I was gutted, cried a lot, she packed all her clothes and day to day bit and pieces together and left. I was distraught, we have spoke a couple of times since and have text each other several times a day. It has been a week since we broke up now, I have told her how I feel, she said she needs time to think about 'what she wants in life'. I told her I would give her complete space and that I hope she finds out what she wants. I told her I will be here if she wants to come back to me. She thanked me for understanding her. We have 4 days before we see each other at work. I'm worried that I have lost her. Will she come back to me? Will she miss me? I'm feel so low about it all! I'm 26 and she's 25. I'm looking for advice on how to win her back. I know she still loves me.... she has the 3 year itch.

Open Question: Yearning a Girl Friend?

Ive only dated once b4, when i was 13. I remember how I was truly happy for the first time in that time. Now Im 15 and im kinda yearning for a relationship, not for sex(not at first anyways), I just want a close female companion. Its just I have some problems. I grew up abused and this left me with a permanent distaste for stranger contact. Unless this person is one that i am comfortable with, I behave in a very distant and cold manner. I also acted out as a kid so I have I have a tough guy-smart ass attitude sometimes. But truly, Im a nice guy whos really caring and compassionate under a weary shell. Its strange my parents told me all I ever need is myself and for a time, I believed. But now I see what happiness is, or what it can be. I just need..some advice. How can I open up to people and how can I get a girl interested.
