She did via text too. Which really offended me. She says it had nothing to do with me, but that she needed to focus on her independence right now. She says Im the best shes been with and that she wished she could provide better.
But tbh. I dunno what to do. We work at the same job; different departments. But we live ~an hour apart. I definitely dont want to move past her. But I sure as hell dont dig this friendship thing. I tried for a day or two, and it just doesnt work. I feel like this was it. We had perfect chemistry and interests and everything. We were only together for half a year but zero arguments. Sex was good. Shared personal stuff. I dont know the success rate of sliding back in if I just wait. Nor do I know if Im setting myself up for failure if I do. All I know is that I just watched Avengers, and Im feeling emotionally charged. I only have women friends at work and their advice is terrible. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I hate to be this way, but i'm sure you are looking for honest answers and not just BS. That's a bad excuse from her, and she's being a coward by not even speaking to you about it, and then tossing in the "It's not you, it's me" trash. There is a problem, but she doesn't want to confront you about it, she want's to just push it away because it's easy.
Move on, there's all kinds of varieties of women out there, some are good, some are bad, some do stuff like this. Don't let it hurt your confidence, she's one girl. You can't stay hung up on it, especially if this is how she did you. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign Twenty million starving and writhing in pain ... Copied to Clipboard!

It doesnt make sense to me. If you are thinking you cannot spare time for me, and need to build yourself. Thats cool. I dont mind waiting. Never gave an indication of such. I dont see why breaking up is the only option. She says she cant do a serious relationship right now... while also saying Im the best shes had. Like... the more I say this out loud, the more it doesnt make sense to me. I just get frustrated.

How old are you both out of curiosity. How does this breakup compare to others youve had? 23. Her 22. Ive only been in one relationship prior and that one was abysmal. She got pregnant by another guy, went silent after moving to a different state, and randomly sent me a picture of the newborn while telling me the babys name was the name I shared always wanting to name my daughter. She was also very flaky. Eventually that reached a breaking point. Not a relationship, but I did have a friend I moved in with as well. We were best friends, but she turned out to be very toxic. Refused to pay any bills, had an abrasive personality and communication with her was constantly walking on eggshells. So it stands to reason that this one being utterly pleasant to talk to, consistently considers my feelings on things, and actively planned things with me seems like a massive improvement. I felt kinda blindsided by this though. Despite getting a feeling. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think her mind is already made up, and her breaking up with you through text, I bet if you set up a time and a place to even sit down and talk about it, she would stand you up. I know this kind of girl, i've dated a lot of them. Move on from this one, it's just easier.

Just stop texting her if you aren't in the mood. Like don't ignore her but answer her question. But you shouldn't start up a convo with her where you're carrying the convo. And if she texts you first then just simply answer it and don't ask a question back.

You guys clearly weren't on the same page. If you were she would have at least had the decency to break it off in person. It sucks but you gotta be done with her. Otherwise she'll keep you on the back burner as a it didn't work out thing. Won't be anything more than that. And then if you did take her back it would only be until she finds someone else again.

But she dropped like like a sack of bricks... that's disrespectful as hell. AND via text?

I only have women friends at work and their advice is terrible. Now I feel like an idiot because they were also saying the same thing verbatim. To stop communication for a month. One lady even said her go to break up speech was the its not you; but me. Who knows what could happen but we can still be friends, while having zero intentions of getting back together. I just thought she was a bit of an ass, but even yall are matching up with what they said.

cuttin_in_farm posted...Well tbh, now Im getting pissed off by the advice here. This hits the nail on the head. It's natural to not like advice like this, but it's what you needed to hear because you made this thread. A lot of us have been around, dated a lot. I dated for about 12 years before getting married, probably around two dozen women not counting bad dates or one night flings. We've seen things and we understand how a lot of this works by now. Men get all of the bad rep, but there are some really awful women out there also that are inconsiderate, and don't care to stomp on a guy's heart and move forward. It's fine to be mad, but it's better to learn early on what to look for, what to avoid, and how to handle bad situations. All you are doing by texting with her is assuring her how she broke up with you through text is fine, and she didn't do anything wrong by not talking with you about anything. This will convince her to do this again in the future to some other guy because you are seemingly fine with it so far. Just stop talking to her, go see a movie or something and leave your phone at home. Go find someone new.

She broke up with you through a text. Let me repeat that with emphasis: Your girlfriend, a person whom you thought had no problems at all with you, broke up with you through a God damn text. Really think about that. Ask yourself if that is something people do to each other, if they honestly care about the other person. Then ask yourself if it makes sense to be friends with someone who clearly doesnt give a fuck about your feelings and you cant reliably be sure about anything they say, even during the best of times. --- ... ...

Personally, I think an initial response is reasonable. If you do, you should definitely question whether texting was appropriate for such a communication. You can say that it's really upsetting. Avoid saying that you're sorry for anything, though, and don't drag it out into a long conversation. --- Keep it green. ... Copied to Clipboard!

She disrespected you, very likely knowingly, because most of the world population knows breaking up through text is an asshole thing to do to someone. You are still considering her and her feelings and getting hung up in the moment. She didn't do that for you. You have people at work, and mostly everyone in this thread pretty much saying just stop talking to her asap. I don't live in your head though, but pursuing this further is going to make it worse in the long run. Maybe it's a stupid, irrational reason for her wanting to leave you, and she tells you what it is, and it makes you real self conscious about it, and it's something that sticks with you even though it's the opinion of one person on a planet of billions. In reality it could be absolutely nothing to 99% of everyone else. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign Twenty million starving and writhing in pain ... Copied to Clipboard!

was similar for me TC. everything seemed great for almost a year. then out of nowhere she calls me and breaks it off. I felt like shit for months cause I legit loved her, and I still probably do. after 5 months of not talking since she cut me off, she reached out via text saying she missed me. that was only a month ago. she was texting me for almost 2 weeks and then we had a phone convo for 4 hours. 2 days later I text her and she drops a text on me saying she's sorry and she shouldn't have reached out cause shes seeing someone she loves.
what I'm trying to say, to hopefully save you from the hurt I've felt and have been feeling because of how inconsiderate my ex was is: fuck her. do your own thing and forget her. you're in the middle of it, but I've just been through it just now recently and it's all still fresh for me. I'm telling you right now she's not worth your time. you might even love her like I do my ex, but forget it. if she cared about you anywhere near as much as you care about her, she wouldn't be putting you through this --- ...

No... if she respected you, she would've given you a better explanation than her BS through a text. You don't need closure. Giving her an explanation, when she is the one who owes you an explanation... isn't going to change anything or make you feel any better... it'll just make you miss her more. Telling her she did x or y or z wrong.. doesn't matter. It might make you temporarily feel better... but remember, you two aren't together anymore... none of this really matters anymore. Bro I -guarantee- if you don't say a word to her... you will get a text from her somewhere down the line with her being like "hey I'm sorry... I owe you an explanation". Trying to get it right now will just get her to shut you out even more. I just went through this 2 months ago... the best thing you can do is move on.
