I've known a certain girl for ten years. We have romantic history, but generally just tend to be close friends. Every few years though we'll give into our attraction to one another, hook up, and end up dating. This will continue for a few weeks until she freaks out, pulls a disappearing act on me, and we usually agree to just stay friends after everything's calmed down.
Well, surprise surprise, after having one of her new friends go on a date with me, said girl decided to profess her love for me again. A few weeks after that though, she started to disappear again. Fed up with her games, I called her out on it, and told her to grow up.
She said that she always thought we'd end up together; that she's always bailed because she's been too scared of her feelings for me getting in the way of her independence, but that this time would be different. That I'm the only guy she's ever loved this much, and she doesn't know how to handle it. She said she finds it hard to balance her career and me, because she loves me so much than when I'm around she just wants to neglect her career and do nothing but spend time with me, and she's worried she can't control that urge or doesn't like how powerless it makes her feel or some shit. But apparently seeing me with other women makes her feel equally powerless, and it's why she's never had a serious boyfriend who wasn't me.
Now, over the years, though I've been in a few serious relationships, she's never had a serious boyfriend, and people do refer to us as the local Ross and Rachel. It sucks, because I do get on with her about as well as any girlfriend I've ever had, and she knows me inside out from years of being friends, which is nice.
Should I believe her explanation for the constant bailing over the years though? Is this common for women?
