girl help: Last year, I broke up with this girl and effectively broke her heart. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

Last year, I broke up with this girl and effectively broke her heart.

Now, 11 months on, the nagging feeling that I made a mistake has reached a climax and I miss her badly. We’ve only just started talking again as she went through a patch of hating me. How do you rate my chances of proving I’m sorry and starting something again? Female perspective appreciated!

mate, been there, doing that atm, dunno how is gona end up.
all i can say is that dont come on to her all needy, that wont wrk at ALL.
if she loved you then, she will prob still have feelings for you still, but just be sure that u actaully want HER, and not just the relationship or whatever. shwe deserves more than that.
i know its obvious, but it does need to be said i feel.

hope this helps.

Yeh, have thought about that long and hard and I don’t think it’s that at all. I know she had a hard time dealing with it and I don’t expect to be allowed to just waltz back in, but I need to at least let her know I’m sorry. Was thinking of making a big speech (not in a dramatic fake hollywood way) and trying to explain and ask for forgiveness or does that count as needy..? I can’t tell at the moment, but I feel it’s up to me to prove I’m ready to make the effort. Apparently she said to a friend not so long ago something along the lines of ‘if he misses me, why isn’t he fighting for me’ nut don’t know the context/tone! Have mentioned I’m having trouble dealing with it to her and she seemed very interested but basically said a) she can’t go back and b) she doesn’t really trust me. Her eyes said she was interested though, or maybe I’m clutching at straws…

well mate, if you want her back go for it, because it would be worse not to try and then spend the rest of your life wonderin you know?
she is probably very scared to put her in a position to get hurt again, which you can no doubt understand.
one thing i did find in a book “why men dont listne and women dont stop talkin” is that guys rarely know how much they feel for a girl till further down the line after theve lost her.

maybe that helps, i dont know.

There have been many songs about men not knowing what they had until it was gone. I am currently slowly going insane because a woman who I had seen on and off for 5 years won’t take me back after we have been apart for about 6 months now. I broke her heart on average about 1 time per year but she would always woo me back. Then, about 6 months ago, I pulled away for the last time. She made no effort to woo me back. I finally realized I loved her and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I wrote poems, sent flowers, cards and had heart felt conversations about my mistake and how I have changed. Unfortunately, she has made it very clear that she just wants to be friends. I am clinging to the hope that I can rekindle what we once had by accepting her friendship now. But I am going crazy basically pretending to be her friend when I want so much more. You need to try show her that you have changed, not just tell her. Actions speak louder than words. Also, its true that becoming a groveling, boot licking dog won’t help. She needs to see in you the qualities that she originally fell in love with. Good luck. I hope I am able to get her back before I either go insane or really blow it by revealing my intentions too soon.
