I was dating this woman, who I've been a co-worker with, then friends, then close friends and then dating. We're very close. We've both prayed at length about our relationship and come to the conclusion that God led us to each other and He wants us to be together, there have been a lot of signs of this, without going into detail.
Recently she told me she's not ready for a relationship as she needs to work on herself, she was in an abusive relationship about two years ago. So basically she loves me and knows I'm the one she's supposed to be with, her words, but she doesn't want a relationship right now.
I find this difficult to understand. I'm sure it's just me, because I tend to see things very black and white, objectively. I know I'm willing to wait for her as long as she needs. I guess my question for advice is how do I reconcile her wanting to be with me but not wanting to be with me? I love her and I'm willing to wait, but I'd also like to understand as well...because I feel like I don't.
