I broke it off with someone I cared for deeply b/c I felt she just wasn't committing to the relationship like I was. I wrote a letter (non-mushy) about a week ago just saying that I enjoyed our time together and wish her the best, ect..I never heard anything back and I'm heartbroken about it. I loved her very much, but we seemed to be on different paths..I just don't see how someone could never respond back to someone they say they loved and cared for. I really need someone to talk to.

Well there you go, you expected more from her and she didn't respond...people don't always do the right thing but they generally do what suits them best. She may not respond because she doesn't want to hurt you further. Your pushing and hoping for a responce from her but sadly, she's let go and moved on.
I'm so sorry.

You feel bad because she didn't turn out to be 'the one'. She didn't question things when you broke off the relationship and she didn't come rushing back when you sent the 'finality' letter. That's the kicker when you try and steer things into an ultimate goal and the other person doesn't react in the way you expected. Sometimes things are better left up in the air to see where the dust settles.
Be brave and keep your chin up...things will improve
love Aunty Em xx

Your non-mushy letter that laid things out so plainly it was taken seriously. What was there to respond to? I know what it's like to have a broken heart and not to understand someone's inaction.

Sadly, you now know that truth about her. She wouldn't even fight for you. The letter didn't do anything, because she had already moved on, or was at least trying to move on and has cut all contact, which really is the best thing to do. You now have to be strong for yourself. It will take time for you to get over her, but you will get there if you immerse yourself in your own life.
