Man i went through the same thing... i dated a girl that had us move from atlanta to michigan so she could pursue a goal of her own, the whole time i'm under the impression that his is a relationship that has a future - marriage, family, kids, in-laws - the whole nine yards. not a month or two after we get there she starts pulling away, 4 - 5 months later she tells me that she no longer loves me... no no wait, "i love you, i'm just not 'in' love with you anymore". after that came even more excuses. as it turned out she had cheated on me with some frat boy at msu because in her words "i didnt know if i still wanted to be with you anymore and this was my way of getting the ball rolling".


sorry to tell you mate but i have good and bad news for you... the good: most likely it was nothing you did that caused it to end, the bad: that means there is nothing you can fix to make things right. she is just an emotionally unstable person and in all reality, like myself, you are much better off without her.


i went through all the things in exact detail that angelofmerci went through before i was finally able to put things into perspective. hear me now mate, this is important... THERE IS NO CLOSURE, THERE IS NO WHY, THERE IS ONLY WHAT IS. don't make things harder on yourself by trying to figure out what happened, i know you sit in bed every night replaying everything in your head trying to figure out what happened and no matter what, you can't make it stop. but let me tell you first hand, you will never know.the more you try and figure it out, the harder its going to be. please, you just have to come to terms with what is.


somethings simply cannot be answered - this is one of them. your only play here is to just accept what happened and know that you will grow from it and one day she might look back and see what a horrible mistake she made or she won't. as far as her coming back or realizing what she had, know this; there is a reason why she did what she did, normal balanced and mentally healthy women do not act like that, there is something misfiring in her head that's cause the situation your in. that isnt to say that she is any more or less crazy than the rest of the women i the world but there is deffinately something wrong. that something isnt going to be fixed in a matter of weeks or months. she needs a lot of time to really figure out what she truly wants in life and the sad part is that doesnt ever have to happen.


do not call her, do not texts or email her - let her go. know that only two things are going to come of that. one is that it will just drive her away even further, the other and most importantly is that it's only going to make things a hundred times harder on you. if she contacts you about being friends - tell her your not interested in talking to her, that simply isnt possible, i know this because of what you wrote and that tells me how you feel.


do everyrthing you can to stay away from her, you saw what you needed too, this girl isnt ready to be wife material and won't be for quite some time.


good luck
I also went thru kind of the same thing but it was with my second husband. I took the marriage road again and swore this time it would be for life. He was so different from my first husband. I have 3 boys and he has 2 boys. To make a long story short we started having problems. I told him over&over again how all I need is the little things to make me happy. He deffiently had and still has emotional issues. During the time my sister was dying of pancreatic cancer, he was going behind my back preparing to leave me. He thought in his head, that he was being taken advantage of. (Mind you, he moved in with me in my house and I put his name on the deed) The problem was he never told me what he was feeling. My sister died, he left. On & off we tried to get back together but he just wasn't right. He thought I wanted to get back together for the house, or whatever else was in his head? I held it together for about 1 year, and had a break down, which is not me. I'm the one usually in the family who was the strongest. I had to sell my home of 16 years (almost foreclosed on) what a mess


NOW LISTEN TO ME, Everything that could have possibly been in his mind that I wanted him back for is gone. The only reason is the love that I have for him. All the reasons we fought about are gone. So are you ready. I started to see him again, Mind you I went thru alot of major life changes. My house gone, husband gone, kids are grown, most importantly my sister died, SO ARE YOU READY FOR HIS NEXT EXCUSE, HE'S NOT SURE NOW WHAT HE WANTS. He even asked me the for number of the counselor I use to go to, but has he called yet? NO. It is only is so clear to me now as I am writing this to you, so I have to thank you. He will never know. He doesn't deserve nor can he handle the love I have for him. I will never understand it and only now will I accept it. Don't go thru the years of bullshit I had to go thruto figure this out. Do what mkyes81 wrote. As hard as it will be, do everything you can do to stay away from her. She's not emotionally ready and probably will never be.


Hang in there, and the best thing to do is vent and keep writing.

I'm at a loss! I dated a woman for 2 years plus with the intent of getting married. We had intended in Sept. but for financial reasons we put it off for a year. All was well, we had our ups and downs but always work through them. I always heard from herthat we were partners for life and mates for life. Suddenly a few month ago she started to pull away. It became a effort for her to share intimacy (not just sex). Even when we hung out together we still had fun. Suddenly over the holidays she ended it. Lots of shallow excuses...when even up to a week earlier she still stated she loved me. Now she's gone. I'm so heartbroken sometimes I feel as if I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. I tried so hard andI know thatin my heart Iloved her deeper that any of her previous boyfriends. I feel so at fault even though I honestly believe I did my very best. I am so confused and hurt. Tears fall at all times, lost weight and getting out of bed is hard. How can someone change without any warning and be so cold. Please I need some words of encouragement... I know someday she'll look back and realize she lost someone who would have loved her until the end of time
i'm sorry that happened to you. Maybe she needs a little space to think about it. But you may have to realize that it wasn't meant to be. Don't look at it as time wasted, but as time spent with someone you cared about that you can learn from. Each person you date brings you closer to the one who is meant for you. In the meantime, it hurts like **** but you will get over it if she doesn't come back. Keep busy, hang out with your friends, or workout. Best of luck.

Lots of great advice, here.


This reminds me a lot of the feelings I had when I was suddenly widowed. Sure, I knew why the relationship ended - in a way. But in another way, I was full of whys that could not be answered - why him, why me, why wasn't I going to get the life together I'd dreamed of, and worked so hard for? Why, why, why??


It's a huge loss, and it hurts, hurts, hurts. But then it slowly starts to get better. You have to accept that it is 100% over, and nothing can bring it back, and no one is going to explain anything to you about the WHY of it. And then youmove on from there. And you find happiness again.


You'll get there, I feel sure. Best wishes toyou.

I am sorry to hear about your break up. I have been divorced twice so on the bright side you don't have to go down this road. If you had done a quick court house wedding and then she left could have been way worse. Your so lucky when women have the tough breakup they eat and eat and eat. Lets see fat chubby woman .... skinny good looking guy. Just trying to shed some humor on a bad situation. Not sure where you live but I think you need to make the vegas run with some of you friends and have some fun. No Dates or wifes just guys having fun. Hang in there but don't isolate yourself ....Vegas is the bomb for Superbowl. I don't know how many bdays I have spent there. Superbowl parties everywhere. If you do go bring tums cause everything I mean everything is deep fried.

as mkeys said: there are so many people in the world, and to be honest - guy like you and me are unique, the ability to love unconditionally is a rare thing. you will find a woman that will see this in you and she will do everything she can to make sure she holds on to you like a crackhead does with his last rock LOL.


This is so TRUE! I'm a woman and I've been through the same crap as you. We're not all monsters - have faith. You will be soo appreciated when the right woman finds you! Don't lose heart. Follow mkeys advice - I'm beginnig to realise this is the only way forward in this kind of situation when you are in shock and it all feels so wrong and makes no sense.


Looking after yourself is more important right now than figuring out why she behaved this way orwhat she's thinking. She's thinking about herself and she's not looking after you - for whatever reason. I know its painful but its true. You sound like you've got a really big heart. I think youneed togive your love and attention to yourself for a while - don't give it away to someone who's not appreciating it as they should be. Go for walks, do something you've always wanted to do,spend time with friendsand please be KIND to yourself. oxoxoxo
