My LTR of 3 years which was perfect (lots of sex, only green flags, gives me gifts, cancels plans for me, drops anything that I didn t like etc, you know the deal) has a period of numbness.

We are 21 and we were our first in everything. Long story short, everything was fine until before Christmas when her parents asked her what are we doing . My parents didn't like the idea of her being my GF and we could not do as many things as a normal couple could do (since I am still supported by my parents)

After that discussion with her parents(they are traditional, with strong father figure and he said to her to be careful with me since I may leave her in the future) , everything fell apart. She slowly moved away from me. She now longer asked how I was , what I was doing and so on. When we met she was numb and the kisses were empty.

Now , the final exams are approaching and she said that we cannot meet until then because she is tol stressed with them and needs to pass them with flying colours in order to get scholarship (she hasn't a good financial situation). This was a total shock for me since she never even though about not seeing each other in 3 years.

The thing is I am much better than her and I pushed her to improve herself. I told her that she needs to study hard in order to succeed in life, to chose her friends carefully in order to not drag her down etc.

Seeing what is happening , I asked her what is up with her. She said she is lost and that she doesn't feel any emotion and she is numb. She also said that this "vetting" through the years has come to her. She told me that she is not special and she is like the other girls and this small changings in her behaviours and the dread by me ended up in eating her soul (she said that she is in constant stress of not doing something which would upset me).

I pushed through and told her what are we. She told me she needs to be alone to focus on her exams (which are like 3 weeks by now) and then we will see if the things will be as they were. She also says that she loves me and doesn't want to lose me.

Is this doomed ? We are from a small village and came to a big city for University (Europe) and this is not your typical party city girl. Is this just a response to many changes in a small time or is something else. We have some common friends and they cofirmed that she just stays in her dorm all day long besides going for Uni, so cheating isn't the case. Light switch effect maybe?

Is it worth to wait and hope that things will be better or is it just doomed? This relationship was perfect and will hurt a hell to move on from, but I know that I can't cope with the state she is in right now?

Have you had anything similar ? Should I hard next and never look back?
