Sorry to engulf this thread with cheeziness to for starters.lol. Anyway, if anyone is in or has been in a long distance relationship maybe you can help. The situation is me and my GF had our biggest fight a couple of weeks ago. Neither of us have tried to speak to each other since. My distance is basically because I'm usually the bigger person with conflict and feels she needs to own up to things. Getting to the point, she actually mailed a pair of old gym shorts to me. A bit unnecessary if you ask me. MY friend says its her wanting my attention. I kind of figured its her way of basically saying it were OVER. Any thoughts? Women can be soo confusing

Personally, I would have washed my car with them if I was trying to remove any memories of an ex from my life. No sense in going through the trouble to mail them.

With that said, I think she's trying to get your attention but she doesn't want to be the one to cave. If you want to open up the lines of communication then contact her. If you are thrilled that she is out of your life then ignore her childish attempts. That will probably eat her up!

The way you wrote it, I can't really tell what the problem is.

But if you haven't spoken in a few weeks and she's mailing your stuff back to you, it IS over.

Life is too short for LDRs anyway.

Well we've been together for a couple years and we were only supposed to be long distance only untill i completed my internship for grad school in April. I want to be with my girl/ex but can't be the one fixing the relationship all the time. If she wants to end it like that then w/e but I'd like her to want to fight for our relationship such I have in the past

What you want her to do and what she wants to do are apparantly two different things.

Also one should not have to "fight" for a relationship to keep a relationship.
Everyone has issues, it is human nature and part of being a couple but from what you have written so far this relationship is not going to withstand the long distance and time necessary to stay together.
Especially if you have not spoken in weeks, use the shorts to wash the car, cut contact and move on.

At this point you have nothing to lose. Practice your communication skills by calling her and telling her how you feel. It could be good practice for the next lady if this relationship is over for her. Doors are going to open for you in the lady department when you start grad school.

By fighting I mean I mean I use all my resources and energy to make this relationship work. And I'm completing grad school in April, not starting. I have been offered a high salary job already that I hoped could solidify our future. But without digressing, after a stupid argument a while back she offered to give back the key to my place. A little over dramatic for the situation at the time. So when getting a pair of old work out shorts in the mail that wasn't even worth the the cost of shipping I feel there is more to it. Is she taunting me or is this her unimpressive way of trying to communicate?

lastly, its been technically a week and a half, if that makes a difference

I recommend calling her and ask her what's going on.

[end the speculation]

I dunno. I'd probably mess with her a little bit and send something equally confusing to her in the mail. LOLOL
