Short version

Ok might...my ex financee broke up two months ago.  She was upset and ended it.  I went NC for a while.  Contacted after a month and she was closed off.  We were supposed to go see her mom in Russia. I still got her a ticket and sent her. She messaged me from Russia a little.  That she was sad and lonely.  Sent me a picture or two.  The day before she was coming back she asked me to change her ticket because mom was sick.  We skyped and I did. 

She came back and asked to go to dinner...I thought I could handle it but I couldn't.  We talked. I didn't take her money.  We hugged outside and I gave her a small kiss which she stopped.  I texted sorry for that..but she said it was the best part.   I than went to visit her at work..cards..food. Asked her to try again. She said it's complicated and has obligations but yes and to give her time. 

I told her I would text every morning and night (I have).  Once in a while she texts I miss you.  On the phone she said love once but never text.  I've done nice things, supported, her etc...but well her obligation was someone with mutual interest (she needed someone to watch a dog).  She's called once or twice.  Today after a few texts she sent - Thank you for you honey. I miss you tremendously.  I said can we do dinner Sunday because I'm sure your booked Saturday.  She said she wasn't booked Saturday.  I said dinner and a movie. She said she'll get back to me. 

So am I being strung along? She wanted to be friends.  She also said she didn't mean to break up. She was angry and doesn't even know why.   She expected me back in 3 days and thought I left easily (different convo).  Views? Therapist says wait a month.  If no progress move on.  I guess I feel she values me but doesn't see us together. Doesn't invite me back to apartment we lived for a year together (The other person stayed there for a month...so...don't know who to process maybe still there).   I still have key though.

I don't want to push but don't want to be used.  Nervous breakdown honestly. I was better in the first week than I am now.  Now meds, and stuff and just can't handle it. 

So thoughts- protective, using, going slow, other person, 42?
