I've recently broken up with my girlfriend we'll call her S.
Lately she's not been very affectionate with me and hasn't wanted to get intimate either.
We both have insecurities.
I was cheated on by my last two partners and her ex has constantly tried to get in touch with her while we've been together and it's made me really stressed. In addition, someone she dated once has started working with her again and I find it hard to deal with.
She has had trouble believing that I love her and that I'm still in love with my ex who I haven't seen or spoken to for over a year. I'm not interested in my ex at all.
I really love S.
I got angry at her when she brought up about me being in love with my ex because no matter what I say she doesn't believe me. This was the last straw for her and she broke up with me.
Her parents are very ill too, she asked me to give her some space so she could spend some time with them and I haven't. I find it really hard not seeing her and keep showing up unannounced.
She said she can't cope being stressed with me as well as her parents and that I'm not strong enough. I got really stressed because a few times we've nearly broken up and I constantly fear that I'm going to lose her.
I'm hoping this forum will help me to release what I want to say instead of to her and also get some advice.
I'm trying hard to do the no contact rule.
I really want her back. Does this rule work? How many people have gotten back together with their ex's? What did you do?
Thanks
Jim
