Q: Is it worth repairing?

My girlfriend and I had been dating for a year and a half at the time she broke up with me. She said that her reason was that I'd become physically abusive. Anyone who has ever met me, knows that I am not violent or mean in any way so it is very hard to believe this reason. We had one argument where she tried to run away from the situation. I tried to give her a hug and ask her not to leave. In the heat of the situation, I pulled her back. I know that it probably would have been more wise to let her leave and cool off, but I didn't want this argument to end without resolution. I believe this is where she gets her claim. At the time, I was planning on proposing shortly after. She broke up with me two weeks after that event. It has been about six weeks since then. I'm still having a hard time dealing with this, but what hasn't made it any easier is the fact that she has been trying to contact me in various ways. The last time she told me she misses me and thinks about me. She wanted all of the plans that we'd talked about for the future. But she also says that she doesn't know how to look past that night that I "pushed" her. I feel like her emotions still show that she cares but I don't see that she wants us back together as much as I do.

I'm sorry to say this, but I think that you should let it go...my abusive relationship started with him trying to hold me back and hug me. I went back to him and we made amends. However, afterwards he got really possessive and started gaining control over various areas of my life. It tore me apart and made me miserable and unable to function. If she felt that you had pushed her, you won't be able to change how she perceived that day.

You can't be in a relationship with someone of two minds. If she's one-foot-in-one-foot-out of the relationship it's just going to drive you both crazy as you try to work through problems. Tell her you're not going to get involved with her if she doesn't trust you, that there would be no point in it. If she can get over her feelings of fear that you pushed her and work on the relationship with you then great. If she can't then you have the opportunity to make a wrong right by letting her go like you wished you had that night.

it's two sides to a story and it sounds like your down playing what you did.
if she ever been in an abusive relationship, she could see a red flag that tells her to walk away from you.
you said you grabbed her so you can resolved your arguement, but then you said, she said you pushed her.

nothing really bad happened and i feel like this relationship can be saved if both parties is willing. maybe you need to have a serious talk with her about how you feel.
