She wants time to find herself?
Well we've been going out 4 years, and we're 18, so yano most of our teenage years have been spent together, and well we're basically made for each other... Or so I thought.. We both moved out from home last year and have been living in a rented house for college, was all going good, but toward the end of the college year she I think got tired sharing a room with me, yano looking back we we're probably too young to be kept in same space.
At the end of the year she got asked to go on a trip with her course for extra credits, all grand. So she was away for a month, and I didn't really see her for two months. I noticed when she came back things where more awkward and stuff, and I know she didn't cheat on me, so no point basing anything on this because it didn't happen! So she was away and she was out meeting new people and all this, and the type of person I am, I'm not a confident guy, find it hard to meet new people and get out chatting, but same time when I'm comfortable with someone I'm grand, so I don't enjoy going out, and I can't drink either, (I'm Irish by the way so when you go out for a night out in Ireland you get drunk) and well that really isn't my scene
So a month after she came back she broke up with me, said she needed to find herself, **** like that. She crushed me, I loved her to bits, I moved to that college 300km away from home to be with her, its two weeks now and I'm just more or less finished with the suicide thoughts (I'm not going to now) because at the time there was no light for me I guess. I've realized, killing myself isn't going to get her back, all that's keeping me alive is the thought of getting her back yano.
I was a good boyfriend by the way, yano everyone in her family loved me, everyone wasn't expecting it too. I wish I had the confidence to walk away and say she'll be back in so long, but I really don't have that, she brought out the best in me and always made me happy.
After breaking up I realized how I could have been a better boyfriend, by simply sitting down and thinking about things. So she went to Austria with friends, had a brilliant time meeting new people and living differently. As I said definitely no other boy was mingled with, most she became friends with had long term boyfriends, even all the girls she went with had boyfriends, one even going out longer than us.
One of her friends boyfriends broke up with her friend when they were away because he didn't want to be with one person there whole life, maybe a factor. I'm sorry for this question not being structured, but I'm typing as I think! So yea, maybe she thought of me as a chain and ball after in that sense. She never talked to me about this any day, just slapped it upon me, which hurt me.
I would have tried anything if I thought it would prevent us breaking up. Realistically she's the only thing I really loved in this world. So I her mum and me went for a chat last week, went for 5hours, her mum and dad divorced after 22years or something when they where going out since they where 15 or so, maybe she's afraid of that, but same time, I'm not like her dad, (he was quite violent I think and well I wouldn't hit a fly).
What came out of that talk was her mum thinks she's in a growing up phase, she's growing into a woman, and that I think she may have been jealous of some of her friends because they where all going on holidays with there boyfriends. If I had the money I would take her around the world twice but yano I don't have a job I'm a student
I was saving for a car, so her mum thinks I should take her on holidays, which I will, I don't care about buying a car if it would get her back, I'd sell a leg as well. Plus her mum said she'd gimme some money as well to help. So her mum wants us to be back together as well, everyone does, she wouldn't give me 1000euro if she didn't want me to try get things working So what should I do?
All she does is sit in her room all day, she writes to me on Facebook, texts. She said she doesn't love me but don't know. There was a stage where she was just as in love with me now as I am for her now, I don't think it vanished in a month.
So I guess I'm very lost in what to do right now, I just basically explained this in how I see it. I don't know if it matters but she's still asking me to do stuff like she asked me to see new harry potter film and stuff like that. If you want to know something just ask!
BTW I don't know what I'm asking just an on look.

Awh OK! I'm from Ireland! Kind of been using a lot of site's, this one is most helpful so far though!
What is she trying to achieve ?
So my ex broke up with me about 3.5weeks ago, we where going out for 4years. The reason for the break up is unclear to me, but I slacked off over last 3months, that doesn't really matter though. For the first two weeks I wrote letters Facebook messaged and all that desperate stuff. Then one week ago I realised I wasn't getting anywhere so I just stopped.
Its not that I've stopped trying I'm just regrouping. Taking time to evaluate the situation and letting the hurt go away to I guess. Its just what I felt I had to do because I was only going to push her away. Its not as if I haven't replied to her, its just I was always starting the conversations on texting internet etc, so I haven't ignored her. Just not contacted. I also changed all my passwords so she couldn log into my profile and see who I was talking to and stuff, I dno if she did look, but she new the password.
I've have had no contact with her for this week. But now her and her sister are starting to do things to mess with me. When we broke up she made me promise to go to new Harry potter movie with her, And her sis, who lives in the same room as her wrote about just them going to it later on her Facebook page, which they don't usually do, why would you post that on someone's wall unless you wanted others to see, there's been other stuff to, I know these things are directed at me. That's not what I'm asking, I'm more wondering why are they doing this? What do they want to achieve from it? She's the one who ended it. Why are they trying to make me suffer more? Plus it not even about her sister or anything, My ex knows her password and could be logging into her account.

Everyone in this site is so harsh! Different cultures though I guess, I wish it was that easy for me to get up and go. But when I stopped fighting she reacted, those things where indirectly pointed at me. Im pretty sure of that. I just don't understand is when it probably looks to her I stopped trying to get her back is when she started trying to mess with me, I don't know though. But personally for me it does matter what she's trying to achieve

Serious I don't know, this site confuses me? It keeps deleting my replies.. Writing this fourth time! Yea I realise the best ting I did was leave her alone. I am slowly healing, but I realise if there is hope for us getting back she needs to realise it and not for me to force it upon her. And me leaving her alone has obviously had an effect on her, as you said not the one that will get her back but yea, you don't know what you've got until its gone, I hope she is going to go through what I went through now tbh. But at the same time I just hope she isn't playing games, I don't know! Really confused
Comment on Wondergirl's post
Yea, Its what I'm thinking too. If she is I don't understand that either. Like we've been big parts of eachothers lives for last 4 years now. I was always very good too her, as was she to me. I haven't bad mouthed her or anything after what happened or anything either. She has no reason to play games with me, she said she still wanted to be friends? Why do you think she would play games? Realistically I couldn't of been nicer to her considering what happened
Comment on Wondergirl's post
Oh OK that's really strange, I guess what I thought is she still wanted attention from me, not meaning she wants back just wanted some attention. Because we used to talk all day everyday, for years and even after we broke up we still chatted a fair bit and then it just stopped. But even to be honest I know deep down that she still likes me, she just felt the need for change. The only thing I was annoyed about was that she didn't talk to me about this. But she has like a shell, her dad was abusive to her mum and her mum told me all about this, never heard it from her, and that when stuff started to happen my ex would just go to her room and stay there and be very quite, Which I think has giving her a shell, and she has that on right now. My point is she doesn't crave to be rid of me, I don't know, I over think things. Definitely has this shell though. I'm not the only one to think this, + she is very smart, she just missed out in medicine at college, I think she'd be smarter than that.

Yea I see your point its been 2 weeks since we've talked now and she's asking loads of people how I am, realised now anyway that we're not going to go from where we are now back to a couple, need to pass through the friend zone first. I am healed now, I'm not hurt by what she done to me I just want to be with her, I've just got to wait until she feels the same way too, and hopefully that'll come round sooner or later. Still cares if she's asking people how I am and what I'm doing. Because as I said before she still likes me, don't know if she still loves me, she just felt this is what she had to do to change things, But she is fighting for, unfortunately the fight is against time and my patience at the moment. Just got a text from her mum now as well that she wants to meet up, this was probably my ex's idea. Ive nothing to lose so I'll meet her tonight, and sure I'll tell yous what goes down, it will be an interesting one!

Yea I know that's why I haven't, I am currently living through this pain so she doesn't have to go through whatever she would, thing is I'm getting weaker, more fed up. I'm really sick of hurting so much all time, I have tried to go out, taking up old sports, things I use to like to do but nothing works. Its come to the point where nothing is working and I just don't know what to do with myself anymore. I've hit rock bottom and I can't get back up
Comment on talaniman's post
The reply to wondergirls is the same what it would be to you more or less. Just like to add that about these feeling passing, I don't know how much longer I can handle, instead of gradually getting better what seems to happen I'm getting worse. I just lack the will to continue, I've had a happy life anyway though. Mainly because she's been in it with me, her presence was enough to keep me happy for a lifetime, how ever short it may be

I'm on holidays from Uni, start back in a month, and she goes to same Uni which is miles away from our town, all but two of the friends I have there are hers also, I don't think its wise for me to go back if I'm still in this zone, can't change college either because of how Irish education system works, I'd have to pay about 12000euros over the 4years to switch which isn't going to happen. Ive tried it for a good while and I'm fed up, only reason I'm posting. Should I tell people I'm sucidal?
Comment on Wondergirl's post
Yea, I don't know if I'd like to ring them things though, I'd prefer for it yo be someone I'm comfortable with. I need to talk to her mum, she's like my mum to and I was her son, I can trust her, so she said we'd talk asap, waiting very hard on that at the moment.
Comment on talaniman's post
Yea, Rang a help line there and they asked me what does make you happy and feel better and get out of this mood, and it is trying to get her back, not like ringing her or sending her messages but thinking positivly about it. Which is true and I know that its probably only going to make me feel worse for longer but at the minute it's the safest thing I can do. Might be coming across that I love her for the wrong reasons at the moment but I don't. I wish she could have decided to go on a break instead of totally cutting things off, even if we didn't get back together in the end I wouldn't of been so attacted to her. I think about things way too much, considering moving away for a few months, hitting airport getting next plane out of there.. could be fun
