I’m desperate for help at this point.

I was dating this girl for about three years til recently she broke it off out of the blue, she moved out, I begged her not to, she did anyway.
I love this girl more than anything, at first I kept asking her back, then I realized that was not working and just making me look pathetic.
At first she said she was not interested in dating anyone and that was not the reason why we were breaking up, the reason being that she just needed to time to be “free”. I told her that if she did begin to date others I would not be able to wait around for her because that would hurt me too much. She was angry that I said that and she wanted to date other people, I said that is fine but you should have made this about that from the very beginning. So we have been broken up a little less than a month come to find out, she is dating someone new and has made that very clear to me. At first she would say we have a future and we will be together again, ect. Basically I think she just wants to keep me on her chain to make sure I don’t go anywhere, just in case things don’t work out with her new person. She sends me messages saying I need you as my best friend, I love you, I miss you. I tell her I can’t see her and I haven’t. I try not to talk to her but the minute she talks to me I jump all over it and can’t help but talk to her. I’m at that point where I realize its over and I know I need to move on. I’m hurting so bad and I’m not sure how to handle this or what to do. I feel like all these years were pretty easy for her to just let go. I don’t want to be her back up, but I can’t help but be there for her. I keep thinking we will get back together, but it is pretty obvious that is not going to happen and after what she has done I should stop thinking like that. Please someone give me some advice on how to handle this.

Honestly it sounds like she broke up with you because you are too posessive and too clingly.

Dear I’ve been in love one time. It was much shorter than your relationship, only a couple months…but it took me a whole year and a half to get over it.

I’ll try to keep this short and simple. When you care about someone that much, they leave an imprint on every fiber of your life. In order to remove that trace where you can really move on you can’t expect to go back and erase those memories and feelings of her. You need to change. You need to make a new life from yourself. Transition, find new wonderful things in life. It’s full of good places and good people waiting for you to find them. It seems from your story you have a good heart. Wake up tomorrow and decide to make it a new day of this new life where you know what’s best for you.

I still love the guy I was with, and I know I’ll never be entirely out of love with him until I fall in love with someone else. It’s a hard reality. But I’m so happy with who I am now, and I know I wouldn’t be this person if it wasn’t for him. You’ll get there, with some time and effort.

She wants to have her cake n eat it too it seems..
Its not on!
She is messing with your head hun.
You have been amazingly strong. It is her loss. She made her bed.

You will get over her b4 she truely gets over loosing u.
Do your best to stay social and carry on without her. If u find yourself thinking about her… stop… it just fuels memories and emotions.
She had u but chose to look elsewhere. You are not to be her back up hun.
I am sorry.
You are doing the right thing.
A

i was at this point about three months ago! i thought the asewer was to get on with things and it just made it worse, dont let her toy with u becasue women will and their keep u in the back sit for later if need be. (not all women) lol. Mandolin is soo right on this its about moveing on in other ways you personally have to find where your happy and do things for yourself, my little thing odd as it seems was doing a few press ups and sit ups a day. i still do it and i found it was a sort of relief i dont know why but it made me feel better about. i did the same thing about contacting her and it makes it worse but u try so hard not to but its almost like i have 2 because i HAVE 2. when really its about letting it go and doing it 4urself. good luck its not easy but it will work out
