Should I tell her that it's time to call it quits?

[Prince Jellyfish]

Hey, before I start off on this I need to make it clear that I don't know all the facts yet; that said, this isn't so much me asking what to do rather it's me asking what I should do to figure out what's going on between me and my girlfriend.

Basically, the girl I'm currently dating, let's call her Farrah (because that's her name XD), isn't the most emotional person in the world. Sure, she nearly always has a sunny disposition and she is also very candid/blunt about her complaints with me. As far as complaints go, nothing major has ever come up. However, just as critisizms are rare, so are compliments.

This is wherein the problem lies. I'm not needy, but because of the slew of unfaithful girlfriends beforehand I am, in fact, plagued by nearly torturous self-doubt. Further exacerbating the situation is my major depressive disorder.=[

Now, I want to know what she thinks of me, but whenever I try to get close enough emotionally to figure things out, even little things (especially little things), she only ends up pushing me away. Needless to say (then way am I saying it???), this is rather wounding to my ego. Without any clear direction as to where this is going or how serious she is I'm really quite lost. I mean, I'm not looking for the love of my life or anything, but I'd at least like to know that she's committed to keeping this up seeing as how I'm actually pretty damn interested in her (she's a lot nicer than the girls back in old town).

So, I guess what I'm trying to ask is...What do I do? How I figure out where to go with this? Should I just end it here?

Thanks, guys.

I can understand how you feel. Relationships require a lot of open communication and when she isn't expressing her feelings it can make you feel that way you describe.

It's possible its just her personality that she isn't open. It may not even have anything to do with you as a person, just the way she is. She may feel too uncomfortable to express how she feels. It can be a number of reasons. But obviously shes the only one that knows what she feels but if she isn't open you really can't find out and you're left in the dark.

I'd say give it another shot in trying to get her to open up otherwise it may be time to call it quits and explain why you are doing so.

In relationships you have to be open on both ends for it to work and not getting that is just too difficult and can make you feel miserable. Don't put yourself through that. Give it another shot otherwise best to call it quits.

Been on that situation loads of times, you practically described how I always seem to feel.

I've found it to always be, them fearing that through telling you they're feelings you'll further the relationship past where they want. But I'd go with Anthony for the whole what to do concept.
