I read an article recently which spoke about what guys think after a break up, which got me thinking maybe guys would like to know what girls think after a break up. I mean, I guess its hard on both parties but I was surprised at the difference between the two. While the girl will mostly be misty eyed and sorrowful, a guy will be stoic and indifferent. Like they say, men are from Mars and women are from Venus!
What girls think after a break up
First off, it depends on who dumped whom, like duh! Let’s start with what happens when you dump her.
She will be mad at you for the first couple of days. She won’t believe that you could let an incredible woman like her slip away. She will miss you like crazy but avoid you like plague. She wants to make you suffer you see, she will hope that you will realize how much you need her and go back to her.
The disbelief and anger will soon turn to hurt and disappointment and she’ll remind herself of all the times that you’ve let her down. This is where the tears and girlfriends come into play. And a couple of guy friends. They will all be subjected to her reasons as to why the breakup was a good move. She may also hit the club and indulge in some mild flirtation just to check her desirability. She’ll hope that you’ll walk in and see her standing amidst all those boys and realize what you let go.
Eventually, she’ll stop looking at her phone every minute and slowly let go of everything you had together. If you want to be friends with this woman, you may approach her safely after this point. Only after she’s let go completely. But very few people can actually do that. If you can, hats off!
But if she’s the one who’s done the dumping, she’ll will feel extremely guilty. She’ll wonder whether she did the right thing. If her doubts or feelings are strong enough, she may even call you back and suggest that you should try once again.
If she does and if you say no, she’ll try to push it out of her mind that you rejected her and remember that she dumped you. She’ll remember all the things she did for you and all the things you never did for her. She’ll hope that you’ll come to your senses and dream up wild scenarios where you surprise her by coming by to her workplace or to her place and beg her forgiveness. When that doesn’t happen, she’ll cry herself to sleep every night till she feels healed. And then she’ll be done.
If she doesn’t, she really meant it when she said let break up. And most probably she’s already been through all the stages of breaking up. Its wisest to let this woman be. She was probably over you the minute she walked out that door.
What do guys think after a break up? Anybody?

you know it’s bullshit that guys don’t give a f*** about a breakup, this girl who said that she was never my girlfriend who kissed me and *************, she keeps saying she was never my girlfriend and just wanted to have fun, you don’t know what a leo man is, she was a cancer, the woman’s woman, she just fucked me and dumped me, I still have not gotten over, not even close, it’s been almost 2 years, I take antidepressants, I might have even killed my superego, what super guilty, she tells me, there was absolutley nothing wrong with me, “it’s me, not you” and she initiated everything, what do you do after that? there is no justice, why can’t a woman say, o it was because of money, or just be true, I stayed longer in a foreign country, I offered to take care of her family, you don’t know what a Leo man is, he is a man’s man, romance is natural to him, I took up drugs, she told me she never wanted to have feelings for me, she said “it’s the emotional” it wasn’t a chick who was not wanting to get physical before a marriage, it was someone who wanted to get physical and have no emotions, what is this, is this normal, if this is, then f*** anybody who thinks like this, was she serious? I told her I would wait until the circumstances were right, etc but then she says “I can’t promise anything”, somebody tell me what’s up

Heart in two pieces
June 16, 2013
I recently got dumped by my girlfriend of about seven months. I was completely blindsided. Her reason was that she has one last year of school and that she wants to focus on school and be by herself. I’m still going through the stages of emotions – shock, anger, doubt, etc. In the back of my mind, I’m really hoping that she will rethink this decision and not act on sudden impulses. I say it is a sudden impulse because she broke up with me two days ago but two weeks ago she was talking about having children with me. We were totally lovie dovie two weeks ago and now she is breaking up with me. Any advise and opinion on how I should approach the situation? I’m not going to contact and beg her. As discussed in the article, I’m curious to whether the forum think that she’ll call back…

This is a good one! The FIRST and ONLY thing a guy thinks after a breakup is “Oh shit, she can do whatever she wants now..” And that means, “Oh shit, he can do WHOMEVER she wants now.. When will it start?” We feel the way we feel about why blew broke up, it’s all about her availability to not consider me. And he (we) think about t 24/7.. Then 22 hours a day, then 20.. Lol. It’s tough. Great post!

We were perfect together, the last day in june we were together she said I was a keeper and wanted to be with me, how in the world 3 days later just walk away from me, I still think about her and want her back, It hurts everyday just to not talk to her or see her face, we know eachother for 6 months she was such a sweetheart.

A guy after a break up if they are the one who broke up with them they really don’t care about it yeah some times they feel guilty.
If there the one who got dumped some don’t care if they didn’t have any interest in them but there are the good guys also if they do have interest in them they will be sad and feel lonely for one week too two months maybe even three it all depends on how the relationship was and how they feel about it

Hee, I have a question about this. This girl broke up with me the day she returned from her 6 weeks trip in the summer. Of course I was sad about it, but I have a pretty strong mind (if I may say) and can accept things the way they are pretty fast. After that point I have not let my day be spoiled by depressed or sad feelings about this topic, after a couple weeks you could say I was over it. After that college started again, but now she seems to be mad with me for some reason (we go to the same college), even though I have done nothing wrong to insult her. What is she thinking?
I am just curious what her motive might be, since she is the one that broke up with me, and the reason for that was because she apparentely didn’t miss me on her trip away, so nothing scetchy or wrong from my side.
Any ideas?
loveneedswork
August 30, 2013
Well, there can be a couple of reasons for that. Maybe she’s upset that you got over it so quickly and didn’t mope around. I would suggest that you maintain your distance and only reconsider if she makes the first move.
On the other hand, its possible that she genuinely believes she’s made a mistake. If this is the case, again – wait for her to give you some kind of indication. Hope that helps!

I had to let my gf of 1 year go a few days back. it was all about her, she never contributed a dime to the relationship and then she started to get very, very manipulative. she said i had made the biggest mistake in my life dumping her, I thought I had seen the light and feel blessed to be out of that extractive relationship. Sure, a little pain is natural. But I feel liberated. Great article though. The proudest American

she recently broke up with me. she broke up with me thru text. we were not living together, but whenever its my off i slept at her house. before i left their house she was lying on the couch hugging our puppy. i lied with them and hugged her and was kissing her cheek. i left and everything was ok. she informed me beforehand that she will be busy the wholeday. i went home and slept. after i woke up i received a text from her that she will be out for 5 days. since she will be busy doing paperwork for her bosses. i was texting her everyday. asking how her day was. she never replied. after 5 days i texted informing her that i was sick and wont be able to go to work. she texted back that i am not the only person who is sick and that i can take care of myself. she said to give her space, and not to bother her for the moment. we ended up breaking up. she said the reason was she can no longer tolerate my attitude. and i have a little clue about it, she was always asking me to show her effort. which i am in my way. we stopped texting for a while. later that night she texted me asking for me to understand her decision and that she knows that she hurt me. and that she wanted to be fair to me and herself. i informed her to that if she wants to be fair she has to talk to me in person. she replied angrily by texting if i cant undestand her that she does not have time at moment. but she will once its convenient for her. i was pissed and informed her not to contact me unless she is ready to talk to me in person. we were together for 13 months. her sister told me when i returned her things that she was asking for an advice from her father few days before she broke up with me

Quick question love needs work, I’m going to try my best to keep this short but I need your advice. Gf and I were together a yr and a half. Lived together for 5 months out of it, best 5 months of our lives. We decided to move across country together where she is from but she would go in March and I would follow in July (had obligations I couldn’t get out of). Best relationship both of us has ever had. Her mother died while we were together and that was really tough on her, her family cat of 22 years also was put to sleep, she was devastated. Families and friends loved us together. A month before I’m supposed to move she calls me and tells me I can’t move and this is all too much. I was completely blindsided because the day before and everyday since she would tell me how she loves me and can’t wait to start our lives together in her hometown. She’s a commitment phobe, hasn’t dealt with her mother’s death and she needs time and space. She Said I can’t be the only form of happiness in her life and I agreed with that. We had already bought a one way ticket for July so we decided I take a visit to see each other but not move. Things were amazing like how it always was but then we got into a huge fight because she stood me up for a friend in a crisis. I became upset and picked a huge fight and said some awful things that I feel terrible for saying. She broke up with me the next day. The worst breakup and heartbreak I’ve ever gone through. I went home a few days later but before I left things were really good again. Since I’ve been back she contacts me all the time and is constantly telling me how much she loves, misses and wishes I was there with her. I’ve stopped crying and have been doing really well and taking good care of myself. Last night she called me and we had an amazing conversation almost like how it used to be. She was blowing a lot of hot and cold prior to last night. I do miss her and love her very much but confused as to what all of this she is doing and saying is leading to?

Relationships are complex. Its hard to figure out what the other person is thinking of. I think yours is one such case. While I can’t figure out what went wrong between you two but it looks like she’s trying to make amends. I would suggest you wait for her to ask you to get back with her, so that there is no miscommunication.
I know there is no way anyone can guarantee you a successful relationship, but you really should sort out this commitment issue of hers if you are going to give this relationship another chance. Hope things work out for you, all the best!

Well, just because she had some family issues doesn’t mean she topped loving you. But honestly, before you even consider thinking about getting back together, figure out if the family scene is sorted out. If not, it might just end up being a repeat telecast..

I dated this guy for 3 time..he wanted to kiss me but I asked why do u want to kiss me he told that he is normal and he went uncontrollable that’s why he wanted to kiss me. he indirectly show me that he wanted to have sex with me but never told about feelings or about our future.But on second date he again asked me for kiss saying that kiss is a good feeling n then he told than I am going now that’s why I want sweet memory. I didn’t know anything about his feelings I wanted him to initiate showing his feelings first. after two month he was moving to another country. He didn’t say anything about our future. I asked why should we kiss ? He told me we are chatting everyday andwatching movie together just like that we shoud kiss..last day he told me this is last day of our chatting..and then told me that dont go emotional. We shoud do whenever we want to do enjoy lif n keep memory. I asked whether he wanted to keep my memory only he told me ya good memory. When I told him that I will send u gn msg everyday he told me that dont be emotional.. He everytime told me that he respect me. he did show caring for me. But he never gave signal that he wanted to continue this in future.when I told him after leaving country that I like him he told me that we are just friends yar. I was depressed and confused bcz I gave him more preference than study and all . he wanted to start manytime dirty chat with me . But I diverted chat on another topic bcz I didn’t knw anything about his feeling. But I did show everytime my caring and love indirectly by my emotion towards him. but he didn’t care about my emotion.
I am very shy and I want to kiss only that boy who love me. Tell me whether he liked me or just wanted to have some fun before leaving country. What did he mean by sweet memory? Whether this was only one of his way to get kiss from me. ?

So basically absolute bull s**t at the end of the day there are a lot of idiots out the meaning blokes, but all and I mean all women have a twisted sense of reality about what really happens and what well actually happened! Women create a false sense of reality in there heads granted a lot worse than some! Even my own mother does this and she admits it and also admits that women do this!
Just to emphasise I’m mid thirties good shape very good money highly educated and well grounded, people come toe for advice and I’m not afraid to take it! I admit my faults which like any other human being are many! The fact is when it’s come to women the ones I have gone out with, the ones my friends have and are going out with, they see an entirely different world to reality! This varies on scale and you hope to get one that isn’t mid table or above. The fact is they will make up what you have said or meant in a conversation they will make up what you actually meant when you said or didn’t say something. They will fall out with you for absolutely f all! This when all you want is a to love care for and provide is well maddening! Really if there are any down to earth women left in this world who just want to get on I life and enjoy it… Nah there isn’t!

I need help here. She broke up with me 2 months ago. We have been together for 5 years. I went through full break up process of denial, anger, crying and acceptance. I did nothing wrong. She gave several reasons like time out, not resonating any more, career priority and finally told that she was committed with another guy. After 1 week into breakup acceptance, she calls from nowhere. Initially she mentions that another guy was mentioned for separation only, then confirms the guy involvement and then confession that it was her mistake of wrong selection. I responded to call but remained neutral as I did not know what to do. She commented that looks like I have moved on. We talked one more time and then I opened my heart to her. She refused and started saying we cannot be together. Why she called after breakup? Was she expecting something specific from me? I stopped communication for couple of days. What’s going on here and what should I do?

Sorry I’m replying so late!! I hope things have settled in by now and things make more sense. Sounds like she was just confused. I can’t really tell if she’s genuinely missing you or just the comfort factor of having you around. Do let me know if there are any updates and you need some help.

She still love me and don’t want to continue with me. I cant understand this situation. now she thinks she is free bird with no restrictions.
And me, am totally changed in positive manner. changed my behavior with every one. i can understand her feelings now. but, she dont believe me. all this happened a month ago and from that time i am going back of her like a lost puppy. please suggest n save me……. 😦

Probably all you can do is wait for a decent amount of time(maybe 2-3months) and then casually reach out to her. Don’t push her into being with you, that will just drive her away. Be casual, be cool, keep her guessing and see what happens.

I have my reasons to do so, but she don’t believe. we were in relation for three years. we love each other a lot. she said she was baring me when we broke up. She still love me and don’t want to continue with me. I cant understand this situation. now she thinks she is free bird with no restrictions. i go back of her like a lost puppy now.
And me, am totally changed in positive manner. changed my behavior with every one. i can understand her feelings now. but, she don’t believe me right now.

telling her you changed and that you still love her is the best you can do. the fact that you could do that is very good. But you cannot expect her to come running back to you she has the right to make her own descions, if she is intelligent and you really changed then she will see that give it time goodluck

Well its been 14 months and I still think about her, she has made no attempt to contact me, I have made myself better and healthy, I still think about her beautiful face, I had a girlfriend for about 4 months but we ended it on a positive, I would really like to contact my ex from last year but she blocked my phone # and facebook. I guess its to late, last I heard from a friend of a friend her boyfriend was cheating on her, not sure if they are together still. I dont know what to do. Should I try to contact her????

Hey Dennis, you sound like a fairly nice guy.I dont think you would have much trouble meeting a fresh face.Even if you did get back together ,after a period of time you would get to the point where you would feel like your only the second option in her life , thats going to grind on your emotions. You want your lady to see you as’ number one’. Move on my friend,to a more positive love.Go and seek.Good luck.

It’s tough bro. It’s been 10 months for me and there has been pretty much no contact between us at all. Other than a couple text exchanges about her wanting some of her things back. I told her the days she could get it and then never heard back. That was 6 months ago. I think about her a lot. Did the positive things for myself, even went back to school but I still find myself thinking about her. Never have I been so torn by a person who treated me so shitty.

you can’t control what people say or do, but you can control how you react. based on what i read it really shows how weak you really are. take control of your lives and don’t accept the lack of respect of another person. if someone doesn’t want to be with you then show some dignity and move forward. when you focus on your pain you can’t solve problems and the problem is the other person. stay positive, confident and hopeful.

Hi. Three weeks ago my girlfriend of four years broke up with me. It was a final straw argument where I hung up on her as she was crying down the phone (horrible I know). I got to the point where I was so ungrateful and blinded to her emotions and her caring behaviour that I took it all for granted. I’d cause petty pathetic arguments over things like her not texting me back for two hours… It was all me, but it’s taken her breaking up with me to realise it. I mean I see it all in a completely different way. I had become controlling and needy and not a nice guy. But that’s not me. It’s taken this massive wake up call to realise it. I love her to absolute death. I mean, truly. And she loves me, she said so when we last spoke on Christmas Day. But she says she can’t do it anymore.
The problem is she thinks that if we ever got back together, I’d act the same. And that terrifies her. But the truth is, I wouldn’t. It honestly feels like I was blind to my behaviour, and now I see. And I’m so ashamed of myself for it, but just want that opportunity to show her how amazing we can be. When it was great, it was truly great. She make me have butterflies even after four years.
I’ve done the textbook worst things since she broke up with me, been a begging crying needy mess, but I’ve stopped that now.
What do I do to prove to the love of my life that I only want to make her happy ?

I was dumped by my girlfriend… I don’t know why… I was extremely respectful to her, never made her intentionally uncomfortable, always respected her requests and wishes… I never saw it coming…
Can anyone give me advice?

Hey guys when a woman breaks up with you especially when she has done wrong. She is gonna be hurt a million times more than you. Women are very emotional and it takes years and years for a woman to get over what they did it haunts them. So if she wants to breakup always give her enough rope to hang herself. It eats them up inside trust me I have had women breakup with me and regret it. Done always think the grass is greener on the other side. It’s never healthy to just up and leave someone. Some women just have the tendency to change their mind instead of sticking to the decision. Dealing with a double minded woman is never a good idea and it just starts to make you confused.

I’ve been married to the same woman for 28 years. We meet our senior year in high school and started dating seriously the summer after graduation. She was a virgin when I started dating her (I was her first). She started college in the fall since her parents were paying for her schooling. I went into the military to get college assistance since my parents couldn’t pay for it. I was gone a lot with military training and about a year later she broke up with me and stated she never wanted to see me again. She said she felt neglected and that I didn’t put her first in my life. Even though I tried to explain that I had my military obligation to fulfill. About 6 months after that she started dating another man 9 years older than her. He was also in the military and they meet at a club on the military base. They had a relationship for about a year and had sex. When things didn’t work out with them she looked me up and called me at the military base I was stationed at. Even though I had been approached by other women I could not sleep with them since I did not have that feeling/chemistry that I had with her. I got my degree before she did even though I had to do it at nights and while on military travel (I did not go out to bars with friends). After we started seeing each other again she stated she would not stay with me if I stayed in the military so I got out and spent the last semester at the college she was attending (she graduated). We got engaged for 5 years, lived together, and things where fine. I now have this jealousy thing going on about the man she slept with during our break apart. Is this normal? Or am I just getting old and my mind is allowing that thought to plague me?

Girls crush a guy’s heart, mind and soul just as much, if not more than guys do to girls. I was recently dumped almost a month ago now and I’m still in the denial, wtf happened for her to change her tune within a weeks time. We had a great weekend before the 4th of July and then parted ways for a week. She left for LA then to NOLA (where she’s moving to Sept 1st) and I went to STL. We always texted GM, GN and checked in briefly throughout the day. She was perfectly fine while in LA, but when she got to NOLA; her behavior completely changed. She picked a fight with me saying that I’m annoying her by texting her when SHE was the one who initiated the texting. She was in complete bitch mode towards me and she’s never acted like that way to me before. So I gave her her space cuz I know she was with a friend. So I finally called her out and she went off saying that she doesn’t bug me when i’m with my friends. Well that’s true, but she would still say hi hows it going? and when she was with that friend several times before she’d send me pics of them and be the one instigating the texting. I’m extremely laid back and trustworthy so I never questioned her being out with friends. So when she got back she told me to come get my shit, so I did and we briefly talked about her decision to throw me away. She blamed everything on me which were all falsified excuses. I’m pretty sure her friends corrupted her in regards to me cuz she’s moving soon. We planned on me coming to visit whenever I could and just see how things pan out. I was willing to move to NOLA too, since i was born there and always wanted to live there as an adult. Now Idk if I’ll ever see or talk to her again. I just can’t understand how we were perfect based on her remarks and that i didn’t do anything wrong to less than a week later she didn’t want me around anymore, blaming me for shit she damn well knows isn’t true. I told her that now I am questioning that what we supposedly had was real or not? She told me she loved me first and was always telling how much she misses me and telling me to get back up to her asap. Then now she’s hating me more than she hates her ex-husband who she despises immensely. So now I am trying to get over her and I’m trying everything from trying to hate her, to saying its her loss to our time together was a facade and never meant a thing to either of us. It really blows!

After all,she had sufficient reasons of the path she chose..
In general,

i really love this girl,when i met her the first time in her house,the first question she asked me was,*do you have a girlfriend?*i asked her why,she said because i have not seen any girl coming into your house,she was my neighbor ,we became friends for a week and i told her how i felt about her and she told me she loves me too but she has a boyfriend ,we were together for sometime and she went for holidays after she finished her exams,she visited me and we were so in love,but i realized she is still seeing the other guy,i told her i will let go so she could be with the guy,she pleaded and said she loved me so much,after sometime again i still noticed it,even though she was showing me love and introduced me to her best friend,but it was difficult cuz she had dated that guy for 2 years and they were in the same class ,we dated for 3 months ,we never had sex because i respected her and only wanted sex,when she is fully mind.The other guy lived in another town far from where she lives and she was not too far from where i was living,as time goes on i showed her so much love and care ,we text everyday ,but it came a time when i ask her to visit me,she would not and it pained me so much and i will be very rude on phone,she begged me when i did that saying its very difficult to leave their home cuz she is very busy at home and her parents wont let her,i was rude one night and the next morning she texted me saying she has discovered that we don’t understand each other and that she is letting go of the relationship so i can find another girl who will always be there and take care of me,i was shocked and i spoke to her best friend,her best friend advised me to let her be and that she is too glued to the other guy ,the best friend said she loves me but the thing is she cant date two boys ,i called her and we spoke and when i asked her,if she wants me to forget about her,she said she is not saying so but we can be friend but if i want to forget about her then fine
i love her so much and want her back ,please what should i do?

Adding my two cents. If a girl breaks up with you, she already has someone else in her sights. And while the guy spends months getting over the loss, she will do much better getting over it.
1) she will reach out to friends
2) she will get a guy to fill up the void
3) if some attempt is made by her to try again, she will not respect you because reason 2 and she will see you as submissive for letting her have her way.
4) the hotter she is, the faster she will go through this process.

In this day in age, with the ease of online dating, a lot of men and women treat their partners as disposable. I dated a sea hag who would want to breakup after any minor discrepancy between us. I loved her dearly and eventually got to the point where I would avoid voicing my disagreements because it was so hard to talk to her about certain things due to the fact that she handled disagreements like a petulant child and would just leave. Eventually I did tell her that I felt like I had to walk on eggshells around her because she was always so willing to just run out the door and breakup instead of discuss the issue. So what did she do? She ran out the door and didn’t talk to me for a couple weeks. Of course, I did nice things and won her back. This last time, however, she was having a stressful time at work and decided to take it out on me for a month until we finally sat down to talk. Instead of talking about ways to rekindle our flame, she did her notorious “we can’t recover from this” and I said “Okay.” She stormed out and I didn’t chase. I know she misses me dearly and wishes that I would grovel to her. Not going to happen.
I miss her so much and all the laughs and good times we shared. I do however need to be with someone who gives me a sense of security that they will stick around through good times and bad and this sea hag doesn’t offer that.

I do not know what to think about boys vs girls psychology. All I knwo is my tough experience recently. Something I was never prepared to. I usually do not get attached too much too quickly, neither get hard break ups, but this one is like a tsunami.
We were all fine, met up around June, and after a few dates we became very close and like each other very much. She enjoyed in me things I believed I was weak and girls would not like. She was beautiful, tall, smart, fun but not behaving like a princess. What could I ask more.
I was on a cloud, and suddenly, after a weekend away, she on the day we are supposed to catch up, she says she has a migraine… 2 days later, the impossible text arrives as I was waiting for news of her getting better.
She said she was incredibly sad to write it, and how difficult it was as she found me handsome, fun, intelligent, cool… but she was seeing someone else and she could not continue to be this bad. She said she would have loved to date me more and continue things with me but she could not compare our relationship to the one with this boyfriend travelling away. She was regretting telling me all this and and she thought she was maybe making a mistake. She thought to do the opposite and keep me after our last date, but she did the opposite, eaten up by guilt. She said she like me just as much if not more etc.
We met up couple days after to talk this through. I though I had something to save. She was not distant, she was sorry.She said she was emotionally drained from another relationship, invested in an 3 month exam consuming her time and eventually do the same with the other guy… She wanted to keep in touch, just have time and space to think through this. etc. She was unsure, confused, and thinking she was likely to make a huge mistake and scared to come back to me in a few month but that I am not here for her anymore.
We spent a good hour together, and at the moment to say good bye, I took her in my arms, kissed her neck I liked so much, breath her smell once more, and she kissed me twice at my greatest surprise. I thought this was not over completely, I somewhat believe she was really considering making a choice…
This experience was a shock to me. I was never prepared that a girl who likes me intensely would break up, so suddenly, without any sign, without seeing it coming.I texted her in the evening, she replied on Sunday closing with this terrible “take good care of yourself” adding an “X”. I was destroyed. Messed up. Confused in feelings and what she meant for her or for me. I texted her twice more and never came back. I still don’t know if she will ever do so, life will tell. I have lost a rare person, without a chance to fight back. I will probably never meet someone like her that was such a blend of what I like in a girl, but I lost her.
My drama is that I was left without a sure closure. For the best or for the worst, if she was eaten up by guild, I have lost more than she can imagine. I never told about my relationships on the web, but this time, I have too, its probably my only way out.
All this to say, when its over, you have a responsibility to make it clear. If it is not than do not mess around with people letting them into a yes but no, perhaps one day, maybe…
I think I have experienced an unlucky love at first sight. Breaking up is tough. Good luck. But if you think you can fight back and win her over again, do it. Then you will know and get the break up required or the follow on. Life only can tell.

Feelings make things too complicated. If you once loved a person and they once loved you chances are they will take you back if you stop doing whatever bothered them. i know every relationships have there problems but if you are willing to try then the other person is an asshole not to acknowledge that. Just incase you don’t understand what i mean by TRY, its not crying in your room like a little b*tch or eating icecream. trying means talking to the person if you are hurt then there’s obviously some problems only they can clear up. But there is always the person who wants to avoid you at all cost and won’t here you out even though you are hurting to talk to them, if that’s your case then fuck them . people have to be willing to talk to eachother not breakup a play a retarded game of adult keepaway.

Devastated, thinking of everything I did wrong? And everything I wish I could do to fix it. Missing her more than I miss breathing. Can’t eat can’t sleep wishing for one more chance. Wondering why she still wants to have sex with me but doesn’t want to work things out. Hate and love at the same time. Jealousy beyond words always wondering if there’s someone else. Physical pain that I can’t even describe. Bitter but grateful that I got experience her love no matter how brief. It’s like getting in car knowing it’s going to crash. And I would do it all over again because I love her that much that no matter how much pain I’m in she was worth it.

Every situation is different, for guys and girls. The majority of people are not in a truly just can’t stop looking into your eyes, seeing you happy, hearing you laugh, etc so it’s easier to move on, but if you’re in a relationship like that then the feelings last pretty much forever
Whoever dumps the other then they will initially feel strong, but even if they’re with someone else, they will miss you at times, if your relationship had alot of memories, strong situations together, that will be st to get than just great sex or looks. Because when you love someone all that was important before means nothing now and all that meant nothing then, means everything now. If there was no abuse, no cheating, then there’s chance.
All people lose themselves after a break up, it’s understandable, but if your relationship was really intense, you were both soul mates in many ways, you wake up looking for them, then these will be much more intensified
The only way to try and get your x back is to love yourself again, if they were really the one then don’t jump into bed with random. Give the purity of your love to the universe, be strong that this is what you want, don’t settle for less, you’ll feel it, the new other will feel it
The best way is to send a long email/letter, outline where you went wrong, never say sorry, sorry is a way out without dealing with the problem, say, I shouldn’t have… I lost myself…take ownership of what you did and how you went wrong, tell them you love them in a way that only she/he will understand
Then give them space, work on yourself, make money, give up bad habits, not to get her back but for yourself, you can’t just do things for that reason or history will repeat
Learn, live, love, they will feel it no matter where they are, they will feel this stronger than any message, call or email, actions are what’s needed now. Motion relieves tension
Hold him or her high, don’t settle, believe, trust, love yourself humbly
Love is the reason for human existence, it creates evolution in mind, soul
Carry the strength of your love everywhere you go, treat it like your best friend, your strongest ally
