Well, then my advice to you would be to ignore all texts, phone calls, etc.
That will get her attention, because she will worry that you are not right there, waiting for her next message. Good luck!!

Welcome. I`m just sorry that she is treating you like this, and you are letting her.

She sounds immature and manipulative. You're better off trying to date others, even if you feel that its just going through the motions. You'll get more into it later. But have some self-respect, and quit responding to her texts.

I was emailing my ex a while back, I had some things I needed answered, and at first I was enjoying the renewed contact. Then I realized it just stirred everything up for me and made it hurt even worse. You'll recover better if make a clean break. Plus there's also the old truism that people want what they (think) they can't have... in other words you'll be more attractive to her if she thinks you are unavailable. But she sounds like a completely selfish person to me, if I were you I would think long and hard about it before I would ever get back with such a person. GL.

I agree 100% with this. I also want to add to what I was saying in an earlier post. She could be using the contact with you so she could break away easier. She'll keep you around just enough to make her feel better until she is in a relationship she is happy with. Because she knows she can always have you back if she wanted. Don't help her at all. Take Yankeegirl's advice. Cut her off. If anything eventually you can turn the tables and she'll want you back more than you want her.

I have never called or texted her once- only texted her in response to her text. Tonight was the 1st time she texted me in 2 weeks and I didn't respond cuz of everyones advice. I dont want to lose her completely and I love her so much still and I love hearing whats new. I'm afraid if I dont ever respond this time I'll never hear from her again and she wont ever bother trying to get in contact with me again. I miss her- did I do the right thing by not responding?
I think so. It sounds to me like she is keeping her options open for the time being - doesn't want to lose you entirely but doesn't want to commit either. I'd say time to go no contact and find out what her motives really are.

I agree. I guess if shes still texting she must miss me to a point or she just feels really guilty cuz I didnt do anything wrong and always treated her really good.

I agree- I think she is using the contact for her to break away easier. My guess is I'll probably never hear from her again except for maybe a year or two down the road. I guess it depends on how well things go with whoever shes seeing.

You are the MAN! I mean, have you reread what you wrote here? If you was giving someone else advice about this situation, what would you advice>? It doesn`t take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
She is definetly missing out huh?

Do you think she misses me at all or is she strictly contacting me for her own benefit? I thought when someone break up they both disappear off the face of the earth so I'm surprised she hasn't.
