NO CONTACT started 01-16-2011 at 2pm.
BACKGROUND
We dated for 1.5 year, engaged for 1 year. She grew tiresome of my mother living with me. Im going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she deemed me dependent upon my mother; she is an extremely independent woman and of course found it a turn off. I've gone back and read some of our communication pieces and realized that she had shown much stress over the mother situation and some other things such as:
1. she wanted to move forward with our relationship as i was not as hasty and procrastinated on the marriage (yes, i was the one who proposed and had given her no ring yet)
2. The mother situation didnt get any better, i guess i couldve gotten an apartment close to home for us and then come see my mother once in a while to make sure she's ok.
3. She was very caring, made breakfast/lunch/dinner for me everyday and i didnt do squat to show her my appreciation; no gifts, no outings, no vacation just a simple thank you every morning. I thought that keeping her hot in bed and giving her the "i love you's" are good enough.
So with that said, my goal of NO CONTACT is to bring her back. I know many of you will say to just let it go but i really do think that she is the one. I just screwed up.
THE PLAN
No contact for 2 weeks until i move into a friend's townhome and establish my independence from my mother. I will cook her favorite dinner for the first time and invite her over for dinner to show that i too can be independent. After dinner i will just take her home and that will be that.
My reasoning is that if i want her to come back then i need to fix all the problems in our relationship before even attempting. After that it is all up to her, i will not push, i will not pressure, she will come back on her own accord.
Day 1
Prior to no contact, i texted her and told her that she was right and that the break up is good for both of us and that i was dwelling on the good times we had and not realizing the problems at hand. I wished her well and that was it.
The nights are still lonely and the food still dont taste as good, but i must push on.
