I don't know what to do, where to turn anymore

By bobler2 on 13/01/2011
Ok WG, I know its been a while and I know most of you don't even know who I am but I need advice on a IRL issue, I hope its not too much to ask. I started university last September and up until that point I had been with my girlfriend Lucy for 2 years. After a month at university we broke up, because she claimed that she didn't feel 'in love' with me any more. I am a heart-on-sleeve type of guy and it has really messed me up.
The only problem is I don't think we should have broken up.
Ok admittedly the simple fact was we was moving away from an environment from where we had always been 15-1 hour away to a situation where we didn't see each other at all for the month before we broke up so it was always going to be difficult, but recently I have begun to think Lucy's housemates really aggravated the situation.
During the Christmas holidays, I met up with Lucy, now because I had been such a mess with the break up I had really been a dick the last few months, constantly calling/texting her, which didn't help the situation, so we met up, and talked, she made it clear she didn't feel for me any more, but promised to keep an open mind and talk to me more often. We then turned the topic away from the break up....and it was like nothing had happened, we still talked in the same way, still was able to make each other laugh once or twice even though it was a 5 minute conversation. The thing is that the instant we was away from each other she went back to never replying to anything. I would write her a message on facebook, and she would just ignore it. Or if I spoke to her on chat it was 1 worded answers. Since that meeting I made her cry by being upset on new years, and met her once again and again, it was like nothing had happened, we spoke as we would have if we was going out.
The thing that is really bothering me is, I know Lucy. Better than her own parents in some senses, I was her first boyfriend and her first....well pretty much everything, as her with me. I KNOW that when she left for university she was petrified about making friends and getting on, and I also know that Lucy can be easily persuaded by someone subtle. When we met up for the first time over the holidays she told me that her uni friends didn't want her to meet up with me, or rather 'suggested' we don't meet up. I didn't think much of it, but then the other night an 2 day old post I had left on Lucy's wall that ended with "Talk soon maybe" had a new comment, on of her uni friends saying "NO". This being the same uni friend that 'liked' her relationships status changing to single. Again I wouldn't think much of it but Lucy, despite promising to keep in contact, and gone back to complete silence since going back to uni, granted she has exams but its not like I haven't seen her talk to other people, its just my messages she seem to blank.
Lucy is not the sort of person to be able to confront about this, besides I know its a battle I will lose, she has spent the last 3 months with these people, and its not like they don't care for her, she has told me plenty of stories where they have been great friends, even once saving her from a near date-rape. She has also already paid for a house, with these friends for the next year as well, so they are going to be getting closer and closer, and there are some single guys in the group, and while Lucy has said she isn't looking at anyone at the moment in particular she has said that if someone where to come along she wouldn't hesitate.
I'm not looking for sympathy, just practical things I can actively be doing to get her back, I am absolutely crazy about her, she was the first person in the world I had met I really felt I could open my heart too and be myself, and I did. Its been 4 months but I hurts as if we broke up yesterday, and I've been with a girl since then, didn't get far along but its just, even talking to other girls it seems they just cannot compare with her.

I've asked friends, who have all had their say, but the one thing I remember about my time in WG is the family-like presence you have always had. And you are people who don't know me or Lucy.
Any help would be appreciated, if you need to know more about the situation before you say anything, just ask, I really am desperate now.
Many thanks,
Bobby

My advice would be to bail.

If she's hanging out with those people who are her "friends", then how can you really want to be close to her? Even if you got back with her, she lives with those girls, the same people which dislike you. Any 'night over' at her house would be really awkward when her friends are there.

Like sure, that same person you like is still inside her somewhere, but it takes two for a relationship to happen. She's also told you she will move on if the right guy comes along, so for your own well being, just close up. It hurts now, it'll keep hurting for a while, but you'll be a stronger person for it if you can get past it.

I know its not really the response you're looking for, as you want to get back with her, but honestly protect your own heart. Most of the time you'll just get hurt more if you keep trying and pushing the fact that you want to get back with her.

Let it go, buckle down and ride the emotional wave that follows.

I think maths is right

She will always have feelings for you, but if she wants to move on you kinda have to accept it. Any contact you make will just aggravate the situation and cause more hurt or confusion which may be why her friends are trying to cut out your contact.

I know it's hard to love someone with all your heart just to have to let them go, but sometimes you have to accept it and move on.

I would make it personal, but i'ld pretty much just be typing this.

Hope you feel better soon man.

Ok best advice I can give from experience is just let it be accept the fact that she doesn't want to be together. You also need to think practical I know some people stay together even if they are far away but that's not always the case. If your at uni and so is she then enjoy your experience. Life is to short to dwell on the sad parts of it, the after effects of a breakup suck but you will get over it in time. My honest advice is to go get laid by someone els and your mind should be off of her, help my friend with that recently and it worked. But just tell her to you want to be friends and chill and its cool when she comes back from break that will let you hook-up and what not but honestly its probably best to let you two go down your own paths. Who knows you could link up after uni but don't focus on that! But you need to get over her as best as possible but honestly if some dickhead roommate wrote that on the status I'd tell them to buff my shit and I didn't know i was asking them because that's kinda rude. But by you just being down to be friends and chill that can open doors to visiting her to chill (obviously hooking up) but its better than having the emotions to it. She is thinking logical here so do you relationships come and go its a part of life. Having the relationship is easy letting it go is the hard part so just remember both of those things happen but stop thinking about past memories with her start going out and meeting new women. Lastly talk to some of your bro's and see what they think (they should tell you to find a one) but idk that is just the smartest thing get over her find a new piece and hook-up during breaks.

this probably wouldnt work well for you, but for its basically, Fucker n drop her, 1 night stands=win, and pussys pussy.

Other than that, no advice, i have yet to be in a stable relationship that's been longer than a month.
