My ex dumped me and I feel like I cant move on
OK well about 3 weeks ago my ex girlfriend broke up with me. I have known this girl for 2 years and I can't get her out of my mind. She said she broke up with me because she needed to be alone and she didn't want to be with anyone right now but she said she still loves me. Im not sure if I should move on or wait it out to see if she will eventually miss me and find out that she really misses me and wants me back. I wish I knew what to do to make this easier for me. I have never hurt or cried this bad before and I really feel like I might love this girl. She has been MY life for almost 2 years. I feel like what goes around comes around though because a year ago while we were going out I dumped her because I wanted space but 4 months later we got back together because we missed each other and I reeally fell in love with her this time around and I think its because I'm more mature about it. I just really hope that with time she will discover how much fun we had together and how much she loves me. I just don't know what to do or who to talk to and it hurts so much. I was just wondering if anyone else has been through this before and what the outcome of the situation was?
Give her what she needs right now
Hi chalupa,
The best thing that you can do at this moment is respect her wishes and give her some time and space. If she desires to talk with you, be there for her and listen to what she has to say. It sounds like she is going through something in life that she just needs to sort out on her own. I think we all go through this, and it is understandable. After all, you should understand considering how you needed the same thing not too long ago.
If she remains in contact with you and shows you, not just tells you that she loves you, than give it some time. Actions do speak louder than words anyway. If you really truly love this girl, you'll wait. It's OK to "hang out" or "date" other people in the process if you choose to, but don't get too down about this right now. I know it's easier said than done, but if it's meant to be, it WILL work out. You just need to do what you have to right now and let her rest for a little while. Ok? If you respect her wishes, she will respect yours in the future. Just as she did when you requested this very same thing.
I hope it works out for you both. I know it hurts :( And yes, I have been there. The outcome was good. Some people just need space every now and then to deal with their own issues in life. However, if this becomes a habit and she pushes you away every time she has something going on, I wouldn't waste my time with that. Hope this helps you some! Send me a message if you need more advice. I'll be here at some point. Good luck!
