Without going into details, my mother passed away recently.
I am able to cope with this as best I can, as it was something inevitable due to a long term illness.
But what I can't seem to understand, is that my girlfriend isn't supportive at this moment in my life. She has been unemotional, and preoccupied with everyday tasks and activities of her own. She is in fact, continuing as though nothing has happened.
She is asking me to devote to daily tasks, which is something of an unnecessary burden. I would be grateful to have time with her to talk. The reason is that my family are in a totally different part of the world, so I am all alone dealing with this. Plans are in place for me to travel, my circumstances are that I cannot travel immediately.
Rather than being simply unsupportive, she has managed on an occasion to say hurtful things.
I am a strong person inside, but feel deeply hurt that the one person in my life that I thought would be considerate at this time, is opposite. We haven't been arguing, but some everyday tasks and other people involved are making her respond in this manner.
The point of this post is really to ask for advice on whether I should reconsider my future with this woman. I always hoped the closest person to me in my life wouldnt behave this way. If I am not getting the proper reaction at times like this, then I dont feel there is any point in continuing.
