Hi Guys,
I just wanted to give everyone an update. I got my ex back. I want this to inspire everyone.
My current gf and I had a pretty ugly break up a few months ago. It was just going downhill for a few months: we were getting into fights, we weren’t communicating well, her friends and family suggested she cut me out, and eventually she did. She even told me she doesn’t love me anymore, and that she never wanted it to work out.
So I was devastated. I didn’t beg - I tried to understand why, but gave up after just 3 days or so; instead, I tried on my own to cope with the sadness. And while it’s impossible to do it completely on one’s own, it’s important to be able to be happy on one’s own. So I tried. I hit golf balls, I went on hikes, I started some volunteer projects, etc. I made myself feel good about what I was doing, even without her around. I was suffering, yes, but I was also realizing that I was going to be fine with or without her.
Now one day, I saw her and her mom walking down the street, well past the one month no contact period, and decided now was the time to begin again. I figured I was in the right state of mind to talk to her, and if things didn’t go well, to be okay. So I did. And she was hot and cold. The very first time we talked on the phone, she agreed to meet up with me, buy me lunch, and hang out. Then, she bailed. The second time, she agreed again, but again, she bailed when I tried to swing by her school unannounced. So I gave up for a few more weeks and decided I was done until I realized that I think the reason she was playing games is that SHE WAS MORE HURT THAN I WAS. And was more unsure that I loved her than I was about her. So I made it easy - I asked her to meet me at a park on the weekend.
Long story short, we are back together. And we are going to take things slow.
Guys, I can give you more details if you want, but I just want to emphasize that even in the worst, worst, worst situations, true love doesn’t die. And if the person truly loves you, they will give you a chance, eventually. Space is needed for both of you guys sometimes. I’m not even sure what’s going to happen in my case, but I know now that true love is there. And don’t be sad if you’re trying to show you love a person and they aren’t back. You are doing right, and they’re not. You’re not the loser, they are. So anyway, good luck!
