Long distance relationship with single mum!

A male age , anonymous writes:

I'm back again. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about a problem I was having with my long distance relationship with a single mom whose son recently deployed to Iraq. I want to thank the person who answered for the guidance, because I truly think it is true. Anyway, over the weekend, we connected again and I thought everything was okay again. We have a mutual friend, from whom I was explaining the situation and was informed that based on my girlfriend's past bad relationships, she was the type to be very moody and try to sabotage relationships because she doesn't think she deserves to be loved. Well after an entire week of her not answering my emails (not needy ones, just caring, newsy ones), I got one today that was basically a Dear John letter, saying that "for now" she thought we should only be friends. She has a problem with me needing to hear the words "I Love You" regularly, and that is mostly because of past relationships I had. I guess I am one of those people. She felt that she didn't want to be controlled in being told how, when and why to tell me she loved me. Her last line was "I am sorry, but for now this is how it has to be." This woman sought me out, she told the world that we were a "committed" couple. We planned things together. Now I am torn between letting it ride until things simmer down with her son's status, and just forgetting the whole thing. The problem is, we are soulmates and I think "we" were meant to be.
