I have been keeping track of this thread since you first started it. While in between classes at school i have gone onto this site specifically to read what material people are telling you.
Im speaking from experience, as is every other poster on here, these guys are telling you exactly what you need to do.
I'm telling you only to listen to them and heed their advice.
This girl is afraid. Your lack of communication is causing that little bastard hamster to spin like crazy. It will only stop when you contact her. Once you do this she will stop coming back, stop calling and txting. Once you contact her and she has even the slightest thought that you want her, she will know that she can have you back at anytime and the hamster will begin to spin that she has a greenlight to go and do anything she wants.
I've been in this spot about twice in the last three years, and even though i thought i was keeping my frame when i contacted my ex, i didnt. I lost the battle but i didn't know because you cannot beat emotion with logic, just like you cannot win an argument with a woman. They just don't think like we do.
Some men draw a circle around what they will clearly protect and what they are willing to use. Most draw this circle around themselves. Some draw this circle around a family, and fewer still draw a circle around everybody. Every circle has a center. That center is you.
What can protect if you cannot protect yourself? what can you save if you can't see a threat to yourself? What can you hold dear if you place no value on yourself?
You have an oppurtunity that many people don't recognize. Right now you probably feel like a bag of hammered sh!t. Thats okay. You feel like everything you put into this girl was for nothing. and your right. Thats okay as well.
Your gonna have to understand this is all a process and after you get done grieving over whats lost you need to start making yourself better. Not for anyone but yourself. My landlord gained about 25 pounds of muscle after his wife cheated and he did it because he harnessed his emotion and turned it into willpower and discipline.
What you need to is spend time with your brothers. Those friends that you know would take a bullet for you. Soend time with them until you feel better about all this, don't be a little ***** around them just let them know your messed up and that you need to take your mind off things. Don't be alone right now, it will only allow you go down memory lane and thats not where your mind needs to be. I saw a movie about wyatt earp(Kevin Cosner not Kurt Russell) and his woman questioned his authority. He snapped back and told her this.
"Women come and go but brothers are forever"
Look, i don't mean to preach, and if you need to vent you are more than welcome to send me a message and ill do my best to help you through this. You will be okay, but you need to stay strong. I've ignored advice on this forum and failed. However, when i have listened, I succeed.
Don't go back, you know you shouldn't but you want to because logic says you made an investment and you must protect it. Don't do it, its a lost cause. Her family knows that you aren't responding to her but they don't know why and even if they did they will tell you to work it out because they will be looking out for their blood, not for you.
This is a chance to ride the lightning and become something great. This pain is a pain you will either overcome and come out stronger or will it will break you and come back again.
This is what i call the tempering process of men. Exactly what you will become is unknown, all that is certain is that you will be better.
My best wishes man, and remember message me if you want/need to.
