Ok my ex dumped me for another asshole the 22nd of january. She had an instant crush, and apparently it was so strong that after one year of a nearly perfect relationship she dumped me. she cried for days because she couldn’t help hurting me, and as i could tell from the beginning, everything was ****ed up in the end.
We parted on good ways, and i was nice enough to tell her that i would always love her because she truly is the coolest woman i’ve ever encounter on earth. She told me while dumping me that she would always love me too, but in a different way, and blah blah.
Of course i was devastated, as i had made plans to leave my country to live in her town(long distance relationship, but we didn’t meet online, we spent in average 1 day out of 5 together in 2009, without counting the hours on the phone(3-4 hours/day) + hours on msn etc., so it’s not the typical online fling).
Anyways….after 2 months of no contact(or almost, but when we did have contact it was hours on the phone), i learn that her life sucks, everything is ****ed up in her life, her relationship, she’s depressed etc. Just her 8 y.o son was doing good(she’s 42, i’m 34)
So i call her to offer some support. And actually waaay more than this. I told her that the retard she left me for had no idea of the luck he had, i told that i was ready to forgive everything, because everyone has the right to make a mistake ONCE, even if it’s a huge one like this, and so on. She cried for 2 hours(and she usually never cries, unless she’s REALLY messed up) while i was telling her how much she was important to me, how much i missed her, how i just wanted her and no one else, etc.
During all this phase, she cried. Ok first we had fun and laughed for 1-2 hours, but when we started to get serious and discuss us, it was a complete change of tone, there came the tears. She told me i was right in fact about love being a conscious choice, and making things grow, that a crush is silly and blah blah. This was in fact the only condition for me to take her back, i wanted her to understand this. That’s why i said then all the above, and basically i almost asked her to marry me(i was a little drunk) but it’s true that i want her, no one else, and while we were together all was great for both of us, and now our life is messed up, so why not start everything again ???
She thanked me so many times for being so nice and all, but she did not want to resume the relationship because she doesn’t want to make me suffer anymore. I have to say it was not a strong NO, it seemed more like she was feeling guilty, too guilty to resume, or at least not now(that was my impression)
Tonight she tells me her mother just died this afternoon. I asked her if she needed phone support, she told me that she was going to try sleeping instead. Ok. We still chat for 1 hours on msn, i wish her goodnight, to what she answers thank you sleep tight, i write big hugs, and then she disconnects.
The thing is that the distance is huge, so i cannot go there before at least a month, and even…Plus now wouldn’t be the best of times to reconquer her with the funeral and such….
Anyways….i’m pretty sure if i was next to her, i would simply be there and it would happen. But still her reaction to all the things i said was touching, she obviously cares a lot about me, but i didn’t get the answer i wanted, and that’s why i’m writing this silly message. I’m trying to analyse everything, to look for signs in every word she says, and i’m getting NUTS.
I don’t want a « leave the selfish whore alone » kind of answer. Even if she acted like one when she dumped me. I know what i want, i just don’t know what to do. I’m lost.
SO any kind of advice is appreciated. Thank you.
