Dear friends... I am in a relationship with my girlfriend since 4 years. We had ups and downs... but we finally patched up and had a good time. She always credited me for my love and affection toward her. Basically she's a cold hearted person, even when everything was good, she rarely used to text me when I was away for a month or 2. but in last year her mom started to intervene between our relation and kept her saying that I am not the ideal match for me, she listened then ignored.things kept on going, this time when I am away, she used to text me , chat regularly , she's busy in her schedule but still managed this. From last few weeks she was angry as I was very possessive about her.last time when we were on a chat she was very rude and said that she doesn't want to be with me as I am very jealous and doesn't believe in her. I explained her that I believe her and love her, but she was very strange in her behavior and said don't call or text. I begged and pleaded but no luck. She treated me like a dog. I was so emotional that I text her that I love her but she doesn't understands my love and I have myself respect and can't compromise on it and she has no right to treat me like this. I maintained NC( no contact) for a week, today is the 8th day, still no reply from her. Can you guys help me what to do? I feel very desperate as I used to text her often and call regularly... help me out

You should stay NC-for whatever reasons she s acting the way she is you need to stay away.
You re better off without this drama in your life.

You say you have self respect and can't compromise on it but begging, pleading, and your unrelenting professions of love say just the opposite. That's OK I'd venture to guess most of us have done it before.
My suggestion now, leave her alone. As in having No Contact with her until she approaches you and says something to the effect that, “I've screwed up and I want you to give me another chance.”
Listen, you told her how you felt. It's now in her court on what SHE wants to do. You can not force it, you can not control it. You just have to begin letting go and hope for the best.

I know I need to stay NC, but amicon I am very depressed as in last 4 years never has happened that we didn't contact each other for more than 6 days... earlier she used to at least text an apology or just ask - how do you do? But his time no rplies...

She already knows how you feel about her. If she wants to contact you, she will. Focus on your own life. Stop worrying about hers. You also sound very needy. You need to work on your own issues as well.
i know i need to stay NC, but amicon i am very depressed as in last 4 years never has happened that we didnt contact each other for more than 6 days.........earlier she used to atleast text an apology or just ask - how do u do?? but his time no rplies.......
This is exactly why you need to stick with no contact. The fact that you are suffering so much means that you need to put some distance from the situation so that you can heal. Once you've healed you will feel more objective about the situation.
Here's a list of things that will help you keep your mind occupied: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relationships/list-things-do-after-breakup-78597.html
What good would putting pressure on her do? Don't be so selfish. Let her take whatever time she needs before she gets back to you. She obviously isn't ready to talk to you yet, so respect her wishes. Have some patience.
I'm sorry to sound harsh, but you really need to get busy and keep your mind occupied. Think or do something else that doesn't revolved around her.

Its not like that my friend... in love a person becomes very emotional and sentimental(atleast I am)... I never find asn issue to fight with her, I agree I am a bit possesive and jealous... but for last few months I was getting over it and she too appreciated me for this... I only begged her because I didn't wanted to fight again... do you know aht she said- don't call me, I don't have time for you, I got to watch my serial and hang the phone... these were the last words I heard... I was so hurt that I wrote her that I am not a dog and leave me alone... but now after 1 week I feel a little down and desperate... thanks for you to helping me out

I have tried to keep myself busy for the last whole week , I can do it , I have done it before too... I hope God helps me and don't test my will power more. Is there any limit for how long this NC should last to make any conclusion??

There is no time limit on how long NC lasts. But you need to understand why you are in NC. You are doing this so that YOU CAN HEAL. It's NOT to win her back. You need to gain some perspective on this situation.
Remember, she already knows how you feel. So if she wants you back, she will look for you, that is out of your control. You can't force it upon her.

I was into Nc to show her some attitude and to clear her misconceptions that I can't live a single day without texting her... I thought a week will be sufficient to wake up her emotions.. but it seems she's into something real serious stuff... the real game start now folks... I will be needing your precious suggestions to keep me confident and going... sometimes I really feel like text her and asking her what is the matter... but I have my selfrespect... thanks friend for keeping my moral up

Hate to delete your post because you aren't following a simple rules.
I am more curious as to what has changed that put her off this relationship. it sounds as if you live apart and have been dating for 4 years. Thats a long time not to have made long term plans. And how old are you.
In many cultures dating that long, is looked down upon without some future plans, and even in America, that long of a relationship tends to go stale very quickly, when one partner wants more commitment, and the other likes things the way they are, and doesn't want to change. Quite a conflict.

As per my thinking she feels as if I am very possesive about her. She needs freedom and space.. yes we lived in the same city and were dating and had plans for long term also... I am 26 and she's 22... she is very simple and intelligent girl.. her character is very sophisticated.she sometimes said to me- I know what type of girl I am, its npt easy to live with a short tempered girl like me... and I used to say- I love you that's y I am with u... shes very passive in communication... she might even not call her sister for months... and once when she was drunk she admitted that she doesn't text me because she wants me to run after her... so this is the whole story

You say in love a person becomes emotional, only if you let it rule you kid.
Which is what you have done
You have let your feelings take over you.
And you have lost yourself in the relationship
It was probable your first one yeah? Or maybe 2nd?
Most get like that the first few times around.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Keep no contact. And let this girl go
Work on your emotions.
Wish you all the best

Wow, she doesn't contact her sister for months and your freaking out over a few days. You have more insight into her than we do and to be honest your answers to questions are vague, so if you don't mind a few questions, just for background and info.
How often do you see each other on average?
How often have you vacationed together?
How does her family, especially her mom get along with you?
Do you both work, and are college educated?
What kind of dating did you both do before?
How is the intimate relationship between you?
What kind of future plans do you have, and what have you done toward them?
How does she feel about your family?
Does she have any family problems, or family issues?
Are you in America or a western country?
Do you share the same religion?

It was my 2nd one and most long living. 1st one lasted a year. I learned many things from that and was very careful this time. But what can I do, if she doesn't wants to contact me. She has her own ego and is very sophidticated. I am an emotinal fool that I love her so much. I know that I need to maintan NC but its very difficult... I am trying my best... but its hard to believe that how can she so easily dump me after a 4 year relationship.

We see each other almost every second day... call and text everyday
We vacationed many times, including 3 overseas trips
Her mom doesn't likes me very much
She works and am into business(shes more occupied than I am)
Yes we have intimate relations since 4 years... and its great
We planned to marry in 2 years and I have been summing money for this to settle down
She's OK with my family
Yes she has some family issues, but now the situation is better and now she's doing like this
No we don't share the same religion
We live in europe

I think you wait a week, so the emotional dust settles, and then call, not text her and see what's up, and ask her straight out, if her feelings have changed, or what. Forget the texting all together, its best done in person.

OK mate I will wait for a week.and then call her. But you know she is very smart, she might confuse me more. She might say- u didn't call me , so I thought you don't need me so I also didn't contacted u. things like this. In all this blame game I won't be able to judge her exact feelings. I know she's busy these days as she was telling last that their was an audit coming to their firm. But I think can't she just text me even once... if she really loves me then she should have at least just once... lets see... but help me find also a better way to exactly judge her feelings. Thanks

If you don't know your female well enough after 4 years, then you haven't been paying close enough attention to her.
That why I told you face to face is the best way, because she would have to tell me to my face if it was over or not. I would find out what she expects of me, so I could decide for myself if she was worth pursuing or not. I wouldn't be there for small talk either. Maybe she will want what you want still, maybe not. That's what you need to find out.
No begging. You'll hate yourself later.

Writing to her will only confuse you more. If she responds, you will spend hours and hours over-analyzing what she wrote (even though she's not ready to talk to you yet). If she doesn't respond, you will still spend hours and hours wondering why she doesn't respond and regretting that you contacted her in the first place.
Shift your focus to doing something else. You need to get as distracted as possible. Stop sitting around waiting for her to contact you. Go do things for yourself.

Yes I understand, but I sometime get really desperated, I wrote 1 more text message but didn't sent. I don't know why she is not writing. May be she has no more feelings left for me. I have done so much for her. She knows that no one will love her more than me.but still she's doing like this... its 8 th day and I feel as if I am getting away from her. She must have really forgotten me... how can people be so rude... what have I done so wrong... God plzzz give me power to overcome this... thanks to all you friends

Being desperate just means that you're not busy enough. Go find something else to do that doesn't bring you near a communication medium. I suggest that you give your phone to someone else to hold for a while.
Go play some sports, go hang out with friends, go watch TV, read, find a hobby, etc.
