I'm still holding out hope ...

Tagged as: Breaking up, The ex-factor<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (12 October 2010) 5 Answers - (Newest, 15 October 2010)
A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My ex and I have been broken up for a month now and I still love her deeply and care for her very much. I never wanted the relationship to end and thought about marrying her one day. However she's had a new boyfriend now for about 3 weeks, which she started dating about 1 week after she ended things with me. She loves him and he loves her, I'm still holding out hope that maybe she would want to get back with me one day. But with each passing day its looking less and less likely because I can feel that she's getting more and more attached to her new boyfriend. What do I do? I desperately want her back before she has no more feelings for me anymore and has completely forgotten about me.

aunt honesty agony auntBelieve me a lot of people go through this, yes you see her right now as the one you wanted to settle down with but am afraid that you need to tell yourself this is not going to happen now and that you need to move on with your life, give yourself time to get over her and believe me one day you will want to start going out and meeting new girls.

What if she's the only one that I see myself in the future? I was planning on marrying her one day and spending the rest of my life with her. Its just so hard to move on when you thought that she was the one.

aunt honesty agony auntOk well what you need to do now is move on and forget about her, go out with your friends and maybe pick up a new hobby to pass the time, you will find someone else when you are ready and happy to go out dating again.

She broke up with me because she said that we were going on different paths in our lives and that she wanted a relationship closer to her. However, I was planning on moving near her within the next few months and was willing to make the move. And it seems like she just jumped right into this relationship after things ended with me. I haven`t made contact with her for almost 2 weeks. And I found out that she loves him because her friends told me that and she`s been posting on various social networking sites pictures of her and him and how happy she is. Ever since seeing those I`ve had to block her from all the sites.

aunt honesty agony auntWell first of why exactly did you both break up?

Ok you need to let her go, its obvious she doesnt want to be with you, and if you keep holding on to hope you are just prolonging the pain for yourself. If she has only been with this guy for three weeks then its very unlikely she loves him in this short time, if you need to tell her how you feel and if she says no she doesnt want to get back with you then you need to stop contacting her and move on.
