Thanks - that is exactly how I felt initially.Originally posted by GTO:This is so similar to what I went through b4 when I was younger~
Wonderful gentle and loving gf turned into a "monster" with hatred in the eyes which I've never seen b4. Its almost scary how a girl whom you were so much in love with, vice versa, can suddenly (within a few days) turn into a total stranger, no, worse than that. The hatred in her eyes is like as if you are her enemy.
You can't understand why she suddenly turned so hostile. You feel that you are innocently and sincerely caring for her each time you try to contact her via sms or fone call. But each time when you get a reply or response, its a very negative one. She sounds so frustrated and irritated most of the time if not all the time.
You beg, you try, try again and again, keep thinking that you will make it right if you were given a chance. You dun wanna give up becoz deep down, you know you really love her a lot. So much so that you can die for her. You are so worried that at the time when she's so vulnerable, some guy will just come along and inflict harm on her. You feel that you are the REAL TRUE ONE, that you will be the one who can love her most unconditionally, that you will wait for her no matter what happens. You wanna be her guardian angel so that when she falls and hurt herself, you can be there to cushion her fall.
You keep thinking that she doesn't really know what she's doing, that you had much more happy than unhappy times together. You try all ways and means to find out how she's doing out of genuine concern. You get disheartened and at times frustrated at the fact that she can't seem to understand that you mean no harm and genuinely wanna change for the better and be the perfect guy.
You become super paranoid, keep thinking if there's another guy. You see another guy sending her home but keep trying to convince yourself its just a friend. (For that moment, maybe its just a friend, but why the hell will a guy which you don't even know existed suddenly pop out of nowhere and send her home?) You try to tell yourself its a coincidence that happened. (But why the hell is it so coincidental? The guy send her home one time and you happened to be there? The guy too free? If its a good friend, you would have known him.)
You keep hanging on, with whatever little energy you have left. The going gets tougher with each passing day with you not knowing what is happening on her part. You don't wanna let go, keep insisting to know the "true" reasons why she is reacting that way before you will really let go. You convince yourself that all you want is to know that she is happy.
Eventually after a few months, you realize whatever you do or feel will not change the situation. While your whole life is totally disrupted, she may just be living a great life without you, hanging around happily with her friends, and slowly, as much as you don't want to, you just have to let go. Well, that's what happened to me. After 1 year, we got back together by chance and now? we are separated again. This time, forever, coz she's already married with a kid after our 2nd separation.
Of coz I miss out a lot of details in between.
So, whats my point?
I feel that if she still love you very much , meaning any chance of getting back together in the short term, she will not give a time frame (definitely not 6 months). When she said wait 6 months, most probably she is just trying to delay time coz she may genuinely be unsure of her feelings (Be it whether there's another guy or not). But the fact that she is not worried bout losing you forever by giving the time frame shows what? That she do not really love you that much at the moment, think that you are indispensable like how you think about her.
If there is a love scale.
Perhaps your love for her is at 10/10 while she is at like 2-3/10.
The 2-3 being the attachment she feels for you for the time you were together. Deep down, perhaps she knows that you do love her.
And this 2-3/10 is definitely not strong enough for her to want to be with you right again.
So what can you do?
Seriously, only you can find your own answer. I think that you can try any way you can think of. There is really no one way to win back a girls's heart. If it will work, it will not take too long, if it won't, you will just be like a PEST or PARASITE, refusing to let go. The more you do, the more irritating you are. You will just have to judge yourself through her reaction or non-reaction. I know its not easy living through this period of hell (sometimes you even think of suicide and you don't really care for your own well-being. )but eventually you will be fine. Of coz each case is different, but now I choose to believe:
Ai shi ziyou de feixiang
Xin shi liaokuo de haiyang~
And cliche as it may be,
time really heals everything.
Nobody will die becoz they can't be with another person and love is really a choice and there's no such thing as THE RIGHT ONE.
With that,
I wish you well~
and do try to take care of yourself~
Yeah true. When your mind is unsettled, you tend to aggravate the problem as you can't see the problem clearly.Originally posted by angel7030:Well, sister, that is exactly the point. You need to rehabilate, build strength and rethink your objectives in love. TS, as smart as he is, is been struck by love, jealousy, betray, self blaming and still await the miracle that she will come back to his arm. He cannot concentrate with all these hallucination.
He needs to think out of the box, look from a third party perspective and see how these drama is going to end. He is simply challenging against himself, the seeing of his ex in the arm of another man is not something he can swallow easily, he dun have a western culture kind of love. It both good and bad, good being sincere, bad being he will be unable to break free.
Therefore, he need to have clean state of mind to approach this love issue.
I believe he is a matured man, much more than a gal like me, he should be able to patience and make decisive decision himself, but with a unsettle mind, he will create more problem instead of reducing it.
TS, sometime, when i am with a guy and saw my ex, i also act like very lovely to the guy just to show my frustration to my ex. That does not mean i love that guy, it just that immaturity and anguish overtake me. So hope you get the idea rite.
good, so now just let time do its work...gd luckOriginally posted by sgx088:Thanks - that is exactly how I felt initially.
But I let go much much much faster - I have already let go. I feel sad because of our time together, but I am definitely over her in that I no longer harbour any more feelings for her - I do not want her back no matter what happens. As I said, I spoke with alot of people, and I did alot of reflection - it is not my fault, and in fact, might be hers (whatever, whether it really is doesn't matter anymore), but more importantly, she has abused and lost my trust for good; we can never go back to the way we were. Also, she has changed - in the few times I have seen/spoken to her since, I have only confirmed what I have been hearing from sources close to her - that she has changed.
Anyway .. that's just a gross simplification of everything .. for a multitude and complexity of reasons, I have let go. Completely. Still very sad because of all the memories, but yea.
its ok man,, we all are only humans... but really, u should forget bout her already... for now just go out wit the gals whos interested in you.. just be fren with them. and stop seeing your ex already..Originally posted by sgx088:It's been another week; during this week, I spoke with her. She sounded alot calmer, and coherent - but it was weird .. 4 years you call someone "Dear" "Baby" then suddenly you revert back to a first name basis.
I know I said I let go, and I told everyone so, but when I spoke with her, all these feelings came coming back .. and I said, "I want to woo you back". She sounded like she would give me a chance but she still said give her 6 months. More importantly, she told me that guy confessed to her; I have not heard good things about him, and that's from her good friends who know him longer than she does. She told that guy she's not ready.
Frankly, I don't know how everything weighs out, or where I stand ... all I know is I'm damn confused right now; liek there's a huge burden inside my me and on my heart.
Her sister said she's been out late everyday. and that she's really close with that guy.
Taking all these into consideration ... I don't know what to say, or where I stand - I really don't know what to do. Inside, I still have all these memories and impressions of her ... like ... I wake up, and I miss her. But then, I remember all these things that I have heard and I ... I ............ I don't know ... All I know is, I'm still in love with the girl she was, but then ... I mean .... I ...... these things they .... I'm not even sure if it erodes away those feelings.
I know I'm damn stupid. 2 girls strongly expressed interest in me; 1 of them her friend, but .... I blew them off ... I ... know that if something happened between me and another girl, nothing can ever happen between me and her again. Which is why ... I'm not sure ... if she does have feelings for that guy, I ....... don't know ........ I mean .... I think that nothing can ever happen between us again .... she used to be like my angel - help me quit smoking, given me so much drive in my career ... like, I work hard because I want to propose with a huge diamond ring ... I even thought about how I would propose ....
I asked her sister and friends if she has any feelings for him; but whenever she was asked, she just said she's not ready for another relationship .... I know she's not the kind to play games, ... but if there's even some feelings for him inside ... I know I cannot be that same guy for her ... she would have just become another girl to me ... but ... I don't know !@_)($*%_)@*%_)!*%_)*%)%))@%_)@*%!_)@*%_)!%_)%%)_@*%_)!@*%_)!@*%_)!*@%@_)*#_)!@(#_)!*@%!@)_*%@ ... all I want to know is whether she has feelings for him ... if she has even the slightest ... the girl inside me will really die ... we will never be able to be together again ... I cannot live with the fact there's another guy that she has feelings for, not to even mention that I'm no. 2.
I know I'm pathetic ... damn dumb ... whatever shit life throws at me I've been able to come out fine ... school, work, other relationships ... I really don't know ... I'm just typing .... I need to let this out .... my best friend knows and he's been a great support for me ... but when he's not around ... this burden, really ... heart feels so heavy.
easier said than done ler.. just move on,, theres no need to be in prison anymore.. u're torturing yourselfOriginally posted by sgx088:We finally spoke, talked about everything, and clarified/settled all our feelings; I now have closure. It's over, and I won't be chasing her back.
My memory of this relationship will always be a very happy one.
Now to pick up the pieces of my life and move on.

For the past weeks, she wouldn't speak or see me. So sudden, so unexpected, and being isolated completely - naturally, my mind and heart swayed between two bases, that is, chasing her back and letting go. In order to move on, I had to declare to myself, and for myself, that I would let go - but how can I truly let go until I have closure - and how can I have closure until I finally speak with her?Originally posted by RedizAlertz:From ur start of ur thread til now, it hasnt even been a mth. & yet u hav swayed a couple of times between wantin her back & not wantin her back.
Made up ur mind, sgx088. Only then u wll know what u have to do.
Generally, a woman will tolerate her man for as long as she can, she might get upset in a few occassion, but if she is willing to patch up, tat means she forgives her man, it doesnt mean she'll forget.
A woman will nver forget what her man has done for/to her.
By forgivin & not forgettin, her emotional burden gets heavier & eventually, snapped.
When a woman snapped, it means forever.
Im sorry to say, given ur present situation, gettin back again is not possible.
Unless u are another person.
Instead of askin for her forgiveness, present her the "new you" & woo her all over again. No guarantee that it ll work 100% tho'.
Stop holdin onto the past. U have spoiled it - for both of u. Move on & change for the better.
Don't waste your time.Originally posted by sgx088:For the past weeks, she wouldn't speak or see me.

It was not until 2 days ago that we finally talked. I now have closure, and am picking up the pieces of my life. Hurts alot, and I still think about all those times we had, but no longer do I live with that burden of wondering what she's doing and whether I should (and when I felt like I should, how to) chase her back.
I don't think anyone can ever completely understand why I feel the way I do - the nature and depth of our relationship (akin to being married), and how suddenly it ended.
In any case, it's over. We talked. I have closure. I have let go. Chasing her back is not on my to-do list, but as a mature (I think) adult, I'm not going to say something redundant like "I will never be with her again" - the future is unpredictable; all I know is, I won't chase her back, and I'm going to enjoy life as it comes - whatever that will happen, will happen.
When I started this thread, I was isolated and lost. Now that we have talked, isolated and lost I am no more, just sad - but time will heal that.
This thread can be closed.
Much thanks to everyone who gave me support, advice and a listening ear.
