    I remember the first time we got back together, I asked her “what if I didn’t try to get you back or did what I had done to get you back?” To which her response was “that would have been it, I get over things easily.” That’s been fucking with my head a lot. I feel used and like she never loved me, like I was just fun for her or something. I’m angry at myself for not catching the signs sooner and ending up in this scenario.
    I’ve also been following the work of Corey Wayne where he suggests to walk and never look back, meaning that the no contact period doesn’t end unless the ex reaches out first. He says it’s self-demeaning to reach out to someone who rejected you

    Okay, so it’s been 3 weeks of no contact and I can honestly say all the details are still buzzing in my head like an angry bee’s nest. The pain hasn’t let up at all. Something tells me she’s just not going to come back and that I’ll never hear from her again. I blocked her on Facebook when we broke up and I’m just experiencing a lot of regret because of that and other things during and after the relationship. This guilt is crushing me, I just can’t shake it. Some people (mostly women) are telling me I should call her and try to get her back. This shit sucks

    I’m worried that I sabotaged my chances when my friend sent that message about the money. That was one week ago. I know I’m emotional and still irrational. I can’t believe I let this girl mess with my head so much. I know it’s completely my own fault for feeling this way

    I’d really appreciate it if anyone could chime in on this. I’m having a hard time

    Yeah I mean obviously whatever she has going on with this dude is something she doesn’t want to give up. In fact, she dumped my ass and chose that whole situation over me in my eyes. It’s hard to imagine that even if she came crawling back that I could ever trust her again. I mean, how can you trust someone who says they’d marry you one day then dumps you via text the very next day over something that’s completely reasonable to be upset about. It takes two to tango, and it can’t be so one sided to the point where we can’t talk about our issues like adults.

    Even if I’m not inherently disposable, she sure as shit made me feel like it. Maybe I’m being pessimistic, but even the best case scenario of this seems pretty grim to me. An interesting note about her is that her long term relationships before me were both extremely long distance (not even real relationships in my opinion) and the only one not long distance before me lasted only three months. Maybe that speaks more to who she is than it does about me (my last relationship was 4.5 years.) Anyway, I’m obviously distressed over this and trying to stay positive. I want to believe in us but I also don’t want to carry a torch of false hope

    I brought up the fact that if I had done the same thing, i.e. ditched her saying I was “busy” to go hang with a girl “friend” (no alpha male with testosterone watches a movie with a girl thinking “this is great to hang with her as her buddy”) to watch a movie that she would react the same way. She had said she wouldn’t care if that happened but I think that’s bullshit. Honestly I wouldn’t do that anyway because that wreaks of playing games to me and I wasn’t going to resort to back and forth jabs at each other. I think my initial bouts of being overprotective are what led to that, but it’s hard for me to be objective about it.

    It just blows my mind that someone could say one day they wanted to marry me then dump me via text the next. I want to move on but I guess I’m struggling with the concept of being let down so hard so suddenly by someone. I know it’s life and shit happens but it’s just super fucking painful to think I’m so disposable. I’m doing all the right things, staying active etc. Regardless, I still think about it all the time and I can’t wait until I’m not anymore. As long as I continue with productive behavior good feelings will eventually follow I hope. I really did and still do love this girl.. Which is crazy to me considering how hard she chopped my neck

    I’m not sure if I should even contact her once the NC period has ended.. As I said I still feel like a piece of garbage tossed out the window and totally disrespected that it was done by text. I guess that is something I will have to consider once I’ve put enough NC time in.
    I’m doing all the things I need to be doing by spending time at the gym, hanging with friends, focusing on goals, etc. Despite this I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around how the whole thing happened. It’s crazy to me that we went from a passionate relationship to nothing via a text conversation. Do you have any thoughts on how it specifically went down? Or do you think I should just say fuck it and not even think about things.
    I’m of the opinion that she wanted to have her cake and eat it too. I’m not sure if there’s anything between her and that dude but all I can do is speculate and try not to assume the worst. I saw her on tinder a few days later which made me think that if they had anything that it was whatever. Idk, it’s just driving me crazy

    I know that NC is really my only option at this point if I stand a chance at getting her back, but what do you mean about false friendship? I’m not familiar with that at all and I thought the point of NC was to not be friends as to put them in the rearview and move forward. Also, is there any advice about how to be less retrospective about the relationship and how to stop focusing on the details? I can’t shake off this paralysis of analysis
