I met my ex girlfriend online, I was after another girl at that time, but it wasn't really going well. My ex heard everything I have done for the girl I was after that time. She prob thought I was nice. During a weekend in dec, 2008, she came to the area where she eventually moved to go to school at. We had one night stand in a motel. We even promised each other, we can't be together. But maybe we were both lonely, we started to see each other more and more. Eventually we broke the promise, became bf/gf. Back then she still lived in school, she would come to see my on Thursday night and stay at my place until Monday morning. She was very attached and would want to spend every single minute me. At that point, I was still living with some friend, but I had my own room. She eventually moved in with me in April 2009, then we moved into a studio in Oct 2009. Relationship were great until Feb 2010, when she mentioned her parents are coming to US in may and wanted to meet my parents. My mom was feeling insecure and worried, because there was green card issue involved. Mom was didn't want to meet them, because she was afraid her family was going to bring up the marrying issue. Then I had a fight with my mom on the phone, my ex was mad, she kind of called my mom and had some unhappy moments on the phone. Then more problems showed up in our last two month. She started talking to this guy on Facebook, he is 30 yrs old. (I am 25, she is 23) he constantly tells her how beaituful and sexy she is. We later even confirmed from another friend of ours, that guy likes her. I told her to not talk to that guy anymore and delete him off Facebook. (she thinks I am jealous and unreasonable) after she delete that guy on Facebook, she gave me this feeling that she was sad and lost a friend. So I didn't want to see her unhappy, I had her to add him back. So she did. (pissed me even more). She tells his that I am not happy that she is talking to him, that guy tells her I am controlling. Then during out last month of relationship, she started to picking very little things and make it very big. And we have fights. Eventually she had it enough, she moved out and broke up. From what I know , she is in very close contact with that guy, she even asked him to help her move rest of stuff out of my place when I am at work. They are dating after 2 week we broke up.

My question is, was it my fault for pushing her away? Or she already had her feeling changed during those talking time.

The relationship seems to have run its course just as yours had when you first met her online. Nobody's fault, it just fizzled out and her mind was made up.

You enjoyed the best you could, now its time to get her stuff to her and move on to the next.

Yes, it seems like she is ready to move on. If she was committed to you or making the relationship work, she would.

Now it looks like it is best if you are able to let her go and do your own thing. If she wants to come back, she'll come back...

She was talking about getting married in aobut two years, already planned for us to go visit her family end of this year. I think maybe she is still young, and indecisive. Or maybe we just had too many fights and finally she went to that dude and searching for happyness. But I don't think that guy will marry her though.

Its not your business any more.

I am trying to follow the NC rule. It is very hard since she still has some mail coming to my studio (where she previously lived) and our phone are on family plan. I will be paying for it, and I am not planning to ask her for her part, since she left some furniture here.

I think I am more at the pissed off stage than mourning stage right now. I felt like she was emotionally cheating while we were still together. Otherwise how can she went off to see that dude right after we broke up?

Another question is, two of my female friends who were my first first, are not on her side. They even told her that the break up was good, and they are happy she broke up with me, because I am not good enough for her. Do you think those two are real friends? Do you think I should still talk to them?

You are going through some hard emotional times right now and maybe you leave the negative people alone and find some friends or family that can support you with positive reinforcement, instead of negative attitudes.

Friends like that, who needs enemies. Time to cut all that from your life so you can rebuild a life that you enjoy.

Have you ever been driving your car, knowing that your fuel tank is empty, but you really think you can drive at least 2 more miles? And then you break down?

No?

Well, with relationship, that's exactly what happened.

I'm sorry to say that this relationship car is now out of commission. Like Talaniman said, it's no one's fault, things just fizzle. She ran out of emotional gas, & she doesn't feel like trying to fill it back up.

Walk away, man.

Leave the car on the side of the road, walk into town, & when you're ready, get a better car with greater mileage. And remember to work to keep the tank full.

Am I crazy?

Yeah, probably.

You are not crazy.. the crazy person is me. I have accept the fact that she is gone. Somehow I need to settle my emotion right now. I have been waking up really early, way before my alarm clock during past couple weeks.

Nah, you're not crazy. You're human.

I had a relationship end over a year ago, & when it did, I felt like I crawled into a hole & died. I barely slept, & when I did, I had horrible nightmares. I lost 35 pounds from not eating. It was a dark time for me, because I loved him dearly, & he decided he didn't love me. I couldn't deal.

But now I am with a wonderful man, & I thank God everyday that my last relationship ended. I'm glad he set me free. When I look back, my ex was controlling & critical. In time, you'll realize that this happened for a reason, & that reason might be the best thing to ever happen to you. Good luck.

Hi, I might be controlling when she started talking with that 30 yrs old guy on Facebook. He clearly showed interest and telling my ex how sexy she was. What could I have done, if the same thing happen in my next relationship? Just let her talk to him?

Just be honest & tell her how it feels for you. Tell her that you KNOW she's a sexy beast, & you understand that other people would tell her how beautiful she is, but that it makes you uncomfortable that she's continuously talking to a man that she knows is trying to "get with" her.

You can't make anyone stop talking to someone. That's not your right. But, if your girlfriend respects you & cares about you, she won't put herself into that kind of position. She can't help if someone tells her she's sexy, but she can control the amount of time she spends with that person.

Communication is key!

Thanks. She kept telling me they are just friends. She even told me, she doesn't believe pure guy/girl friendship. They always begin with someone likes the other person. When I was talking to my girl friends, she got jealous as well, so what I did was I told my girl friend, that my girlfriend is jealous, so I started talking less and less with that girl friend. I just felt like she didn't do what I did for her. So we fought.

6/5 was my birthday, my ex broke up with me a month ago, I started NC about 2 weeks ago. Today (6/7), she texted me, said I know its too late, but I still want to say happy birthday.

I thought about not reply to say thanks. But one of my friend said I should, because it will show that I have no emotion and I don't care anymore.

If I kept silence, she will think I still have emotion towards her.

Any comments?

What did you do? Did you text back "Thanks"? If she responds, don't reply.

If you haven't done anything yet, don't. NC means exactly that, NO Contact.

Happy Belated Birthday, by the way!

What she thinks is not important. NC means no contact so that you can heal.
Happy Birthday

When you eve read her text, that sort of broke it, since it makes you have "thoughts" or doubts, you delete the text unopened and don't respond, that is real NC

Oh crap.. I texted "thx"

If she text back, do not respond. In fact don't even read it. Delete it.
