Chasing when they get away
I personally have the (mis?)conception that if you're in love with someone and they leave you fight to get them back. You fight with all your heart to show them that you've made mistakes and will learn from them. Many other posters on here have stated that chasing them or showing them your feelings is only a mistake which drives them even further away. Obviously the reasons for the break up are relevant in which would one works, but I guess 9-10 times on this board it is where they have left you for whatever reason or suggested a break while they think about things.
My ex had even told me that she wished so very much that she had fought harder to get me back when we were taking a break and when I wasn't responsive as quick as she needed she started to check out of the relationship. So she wanted to fight to keep me and didn't fight enough and I wanted to fight to keep her after we broke up for good and maybe I fought too much...
I just wondered what the consensus was on this. Pursue her and show her you love her? Or start getting over her day one?
