My "ex"
Tell me if this is normal.
My girlfriend broke up with me about 3 weeks ago. She started by saying it was her. She said it was just not the right time, she didn't see it going anywhere. That. So I was heartbroken, I still am. The weird part is that we talk all the time. She calls me or texts me at least once a day. We hang out all the time and we still sleep over at the other persons house. (just sleep though).
I'm not sure what to do about this. I honestly can't see myself being with another person after her. I don't have many relationships and I really wanted this one to work. I have to stop myself from crying almost every day because I miss her so much. She technically hasn't gone anywhere, there's just that status of boyfriend/girlfriend.
I'm not entirely innocent, I must admit. I was kind of a jerk sometimes. I'd say mean things, not intentionally mean, but I'd say stupid things and she'd cry. My room mates are always around and one of them makes fun of her a lot. I joked around with him a bunch but it eventually became very obnoxious. I asked him to stop.
So, What should I do? She says right now is not a good time. I don't want to be the creepy guy who hounds her for chances even though I feel like that already. Should I give it time? Should I do something specific to win her over? Please help me, it's killing me inside.
Ask her to level with you, and to be completely honest. Honesty is the one thing that many people avoid in a relationship because so many of us have control issues and are afraid of rejection. But the worst has already happened here -- she's broken up with you -- now she needs to do some deconstruction of the relationship and provide you with the facts that both of you deserve to hear.
If she refuses to tell you, then you will know that the issues that divide you go too deep to mend, at least at this time. But if she DOES level with you, the relationship may possibly be salvagable. Bear in mind that you may not like her answer(s), however. Try to hear her out nonetheless, and allow yourself to fully process the information before you react. If you HAVE said "stupid things" to her in the past, now is not the time to do a repeat performance.
Good luck to you.
