I wasn't a good boyfriend, but I want to do anything to change.

I was with my ex for about 2.5 years. Things were great, for over a year, she loved me, I loved her and we were genuinely best friends. The second year wasn’t bad either, but negative events in my life caused me to be a little depressed and not like myself, I refused to go out as often as she wanted, and I wasn’t exactly the same person she met. This summer was particularly difficult for me because I was stressed out about getting a job after graduating from university, she supported me through this (along with everything I dealt with before) and eventually I got a great job that pays extremely well and I’m still currently working at. This past month I’ve had laser focus trying to get good at my job along with impress my bosses. I haven’t paid much attention to my girlfriend in that span of time and she definitely gave me numerous signs that she was unhappy. Two weeks ago she suggested we take a break so she can “rediscover herself” and “give me the chance to change”. I took the break as a joke and we fought constantly during the break, I didn’t take her seriously at all and yesterday she texted me at 2:11a.m asking me to come over and talk. After work, I went over and we spoke briefly, she explained to me that she was unhappy and I was unwilling to change and concluded that we should break up. I was angry, so I stormed out and didn’t speak to her for about an hour, then I called her and asked her to explain why she was breaking up with me, she explained that she loved me but it wasn’t working out and we were trying to make something work that wasn’t, she also said “I hope we come back to eachother in the future, but if it’s not meant to be then it won’t be”. When I got home she removed her relationship status from Facebook and changed her profile picture to one with a friend of hers. She didn’t delete any of our pictures on Facebook or Instagram which has me confused.

Is there any hope to get her back, I realize I was not a good boyfriend and I’d do anything to have her back. What’s the best course of action?

You can still get her back forsure man. I have a situation similar but i feel like mine has gone a lot worse honestly so i have alot of hope for you. Follow the guide on here and stay strong. If you want to change then do it. Dont change you just change the bad qualities. I have gotten rid of most of my problems at this point. A month of no contact. And i feel alot better about my self. I lost alot of weight got a job stopped smoking and drinking altogether also i believe i have fixed my jealousy problems and insecurities for the most part. But anyways this is about you not me. You can do it if you really want it. 2 and half years is a long time and the love must have been real. My ex told me the same thing about her seeing us together in the future. I dont think its something girls say to make us feel better i really think they mean it. Start no contact as soon as possible though dont make the same mistake i made of waiting a whole 2 weeks or so before starting. It will help patch up alot. Good luck friend i hope the best for you.
