199 Answers Hey everyone,
I have this situation. I just broke up with my girfriend of almost 3 years (this september) and she thinks that I am playing mind games that every time I am around her I get text messages or a phone call in the middle of the night as we still hang out with each other. She thinks that I am doing this to cause "suspicion" which is totally crazy because when we were together these things happened although not as much.
So now monday was the last day I spoke with her as I am trying to start no contact. So she finally called this morning and said I was playing games by not contacting her because she felt that I thought it was to get her to call me. I actually was trying to get past her.
We had been living together and after my father died I blew almost $170,000 (an inheritance) in this relationship and when the money runs dry we started having all kind of problems. She would show put her bills on the fridge sometime for me to see, and always would say I was selfish. What really put the icing on the cake was this one phone number kept calling in the middle of the night and she wouild lie and say its the wrong number. Howvever after I checked the phone while she was in the shower, it was a boy's number saved under a girls name, as that person had sent him a text SAYING her name.
So finally after 4 weeks of pressing this issue, she wouldn't tell me who it was, where she met this person, how they met, she would just say "I don't have to tell you that. You don't know all my friends" but I think that was bull. What caused the suspicion is that she had a line on my phone and I could see all the numbers dialed on the phone bill. This ONE number was brand new and the calls were lik 50mins long during the day. Had no consideration for the phone bill and now its at $1,500. Her excuse for not helping with the bill was that I never showed her the bill. I paid all the rent. As she said she was struggling which was $965 a month. So after all tyhe questioning about this number she decides to hop up, AND GET HER OWN PLACE without telling me until AFTER she signed the lease on the same day. She said I was being emotionally abusive by not trusting her which is a QUACK. Its funny now she can afford $650 a month on her own, but coulnt afford $300 a month which was all I was having her pay. She is now struggling (go figure) and is mad at me because I won't help out. But we still have sex and hold hands etc until last week when my phone started ringing a lot and I was texting to my friends which caused her to think I was playing mind games. THIS is why I stopped talking to her as of Monday, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE BEEN BROKEN UP SINCE JUNE 5, 2007. It really didn't seem like it. I am REALLY trying to get over this. I keep tosing and turning thinking about if she is having sex with someone at the moment or what she is doing and it is KILLING ME. I want to contact her and I get a STRONG URGE even today but I want her to realize the mistake she made.
If you guys could help with advice, please assist....................thanks guys and girls Thread Summary |

| | | Moving on from a relationship that you have invested so much time (and money) in is very hard. Sometimes it is really hard to realize how messed up a situation is because your standing right in the thick of it. Go back and read your post as if you are not associated with the situation at all and see if it sounds as messed up as it truly is. You need to move past this girl. | | |  | Junior Member | |

| | | Verbal and emotional abuse never grows into anything good. Its unhealthy for both of you and will turn you into someone you don't want to be. | | |  | Ultra Member | |

| | | Well plan something awesome for that weekend with your buddies. Make it like a really fun guy's night so that way you aren't at home wallowing in self pity
It will take time. Just let yourself work through the process. Definitely listen to SAB he has been through it. His ex was similar to yours. You can lean on us here.
But please do not beat yourself up. I find it helpful after a break up to not take any blame until I'm over the relationship. When my ex broke up with me I focused on HIS problems and how HE ruined the relationship. Now all this time later I can say yeah, we both made mistakes. Doing that made it easier for me to move on. Maybe give that a try? | | |  | Senior Member | |

2nd one may 2-3 months, again I never contacted, she always contacted me and wanted me back.
3rd one 1-2 months and again I never contacted her she contacted me.
The 2-3 other breakups where small ones anywhere from days two about a week.
And this final breakup its been a little over 6 months. Since we were engaged I wanted us to be together. So I contacted her 2 months after that and a couple samll emails since then. She has not come back this time. I believe she want to come back but this time I ignored her after she turned me down for wanting for us to be married in first couple of months of being broken up.. (Long story) But usaually when she contacted me she had a lame excuse to talk to me On the 4 major break ups I usually told her to leave me alone or don't call no more. | | |  | Senior Member | |

I am getting better but it's been been a little over 6 months and I still miss and hurt sometimes. But not as bad. | | |  | Junior Member | |

See that's whay I'm thinking about dating someone else. Because although it may7 be a rebound, by the time that ends ....if it does.....she will be WAY out my memory. Ort even casual fling sex. Because really in all honestly is was really the great sex that kept us together | | |  | Senior Member | |

| | | When I am out and about and talk to women or make out with them etc. I did help to not think of her but it's was and still sometimes is when I'm alone. This is why I believe my ex is doing a rebound relationship to get over me. | | |  | Full Member | |
Aug 10, 2007, 01:07 PM
| | | But lets be really careful here in recommending rebound relationships. We are not out to intentionally hurt anyone and if you go into a relationship with the premise that its just a "rebound" and your sort of using that person to get over the other you need to be honest with the person your involving. | | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
