smeedle agony auntYOu know it is over but you are hanging onto false hope, well she is not at all interested and has to all intents and purpose moved on.

I know it is hard to accept that she loved you then she did not love you, she obviously had a think about the realationship and decided that after 3 years she was not ready to settle down and get very seriouse, she obviously thought about this a lot and you need to accept her decision as hard as it is.

If you've been together for 3 years, then I guess she was 18/19 when your relationship began. I always hesitate to use 'when I....' as part of an answer, but I met my first wife when she was 17 and I was 25. By the time she was 25 and I was 33, one fundamental truth was apparent. I was still the same person I had been at 25, but she'd grown from a child of 17 to an adult of 25, with all the changes in perspective such things bring. We still get along (more or less!) 7 years further on, but we agreed at the time that our relationship had had its day as our idea of relationships, life, ambition, work etc had grown apart.

To return to your specific problem, if its causing you such pain, you'd do better just letting it all go. Text her to remove the rest of her stuff by a specific date, and stick to that date: if its still there afterwards, take it to her parents, or sling it. You're running the risk of spending the rest of this year waiting for her call while putting your own life on hold. Make a final break, and move onwards with, I suspect, best wishes from all here.
