My girlfriend broke up with me, I walked away to save my sanity

I am sure that there are so many posts out there with similar stories but I am going to narrate mine (just in case there is something new or different here).

So, I met this wonderful girl 6 months ago through a common friend. We immediately fell for each other and 5 months had been great. She is far more expressive in emotions as well as physically than I am. I am kind of shy, speak less, don't say sweet nothings too much... I behave a lot like Peter Parker from Spiderman.. If you know what I mean.

To add to the complexity of our story, we are from different countries, and eventually will go back to our own countries. When we were together, I was trying to figure out if she would like to move with me to a different country, (US, Australia, UK depending on where my career takes me.. Forgot to tell you that I work in management position in a big firm so I travel all the time).

Last month, I told her that I might have to wind up from United States and move to a different country, but I would like to give our plan a try and start working on settling down in a 'neutral' country. She said that she needs time to think about it. And from here, things started going downhill.

She started getting pissed at me at everything. If I am in a meeting and can't pick up her phone, she blamed me for ignoring her. Then if I call her, she won't pick up the phone. A few weeks ago, she broke up with me, saying that she doesn't want to be with me anymore, but it is OK to be friends and talk. I accepted that, but I thought that if I meet her in person more often than it might change her mind. (forgot to mention that I get to see her only twice a month because we live in different cities and flight tickets are too expensive to make it every weekend).

So.. I went to meet her last weekend, without telling her that I am coming. I thought I would surprise her. Turned out that my uninvited visit didn't impress her. She had a party to go and she did go ahead with her plans, telling me that I shouldn't have come. Now for those who would say 'you shouldn't have gone without telling', I want to tell you that I have done this in the past, and she loved it.

Anyway, so yeah, I was in my hotel room watching tv all by myself and getting pissed for being treated like this. I met her next day and she was behaving alrite. Later during the evening, I dropped her back to her house and then called her from the airport. AGAIN, she was back to her irate behaviour and didn't talk to me nicely.

With that.. I thought, THIS IS IT.. And after two days of careful delebration, I decided to walk away. So I called her and told her that this situation is sucking happiness out of me, and I would like to get out of it. I am tired of being sad and thinking about 'what is going wrong' all the time. She said 'I understand'. With that, it was over. I have not talked to her, emailed her, txted her, or anything. Neither has she done anything of that sort.

Do I feel good? Hell no, I feel terrible and that's the reason I am here. Could I have changed anything to make it work? I think I can't. I tried everything from taking days off to go on a week vacation with her (which is another aweful thing.. I had to cancel the vacation plans just one week prior to the date).

Just girls out here may call me an for dropping the communication like this .. But ladies.. Please be merciful.. You don't know how it feels when your girl turns into an iceberg and tosses the flowers you carefully chose for her, in the backseat of the car ..

For right or wrong.. I think it is over..
