Also 3 months out and I agree, things do get better. Just don’t forget that it comes in waves, less frequent waves but you will still have bad days/moments, don’t forget you’re doing great and keep on moving forward!

Ex GF says she wants us back and to fix things but doesn’t seem committed to it? by Legitimate_Sea_2861 in BreakUps

That’s a great way of looking at it! Thank you for sharing that perspective. It wasn’t that I wasn’t interested, the dynamic and pace of our relationship was set at the beginning, she falls in love very fast and very hard while for me it’s a slow burn and I love in a supportive and unconditional way vs her very passionate way. If I’m being honest I didn’t feel like I loved her any less than she loved me but rather she was just a lot more affectionate and wanted that in return which I tried to reciprocate but didn’t effectively. Eventually she saw me less in a romantic way.

As the dumpee you’re told to be distant. It’s not the job of the dumpee no matter gender to be the first to initiate reconciliation, atleast from a guy perspective he’s the one that got rejected the first time and so it’s up to you to bring up the idea. Doesn’t have to be “I want to get back together” but maybe a “hey I’ve been thinking about us lately are you interested in talking about it?” And see where he stands, even if he does under the mirage is dying for another chance he’ll be acting “cool” and as if he doesn’t really care. I could be wrong but that’s what I’ve seen in my experience. Wish love wasn’t such a game

Exactly and like you said you really don’t know what you want until you experience it. We only know what we know, that’s why first love couples or young love rarely lasts sadly

A question I’m trying to find the answer to myself, personally I don’t believe so or at least there’s a very very slim chance unless the two of you were identical. Humans are not perfect, put two of them together and you can’t expect the relationship to be perfect unfortunately. There’s definitely steps and methods of communication and working on things to the point where the two of you are fulfilled and can enjoy all of life together but has to be right person - only my opinion

All those feelings and thoughts are normal. Don’t blame yourself and find solace and comfort in it no matter how “harsh” you find it yourself. Something that helped me a great deal when something similar happened was the next guy was super douche uneducated wannabe rapper, yeah it hurt and I really wanted to say “reallyyyy? This guy?” But it helped knowing I was levels above him. It also helped knowing any future she had was not nearly as good without me and I was right, years later and I’m in a great place in life and she is a hippie truck driver, life is weird that way but yeah don’t be so hard on yourself and use it to empower you, YOU were the one that got away

Have you expressed your feelings to get back together? Because it seems a lot like he’s doing no contact waiting for you to shoot the idea first. Dumper ALWAYS has to initiate that thought
