Question - (5 March 2008) 4 Answers - (Newest, 7 April 2008)
A male Canada age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I went out with this girl for a few years. A few months back I decided to break it off and give each other some time. She wanted me back for a long time and we agreed that we would get back together in the new year. we talked all the time and hung out too for about 2 months. But in February she found a new person that paid attention to her and did things that I didn't do.

I panicked and tried to get her back of course my efforts failed. all this happened right before my birthday and valentines day witch are side by side. all i wanted was her and me to be together again. she told me that we should stop speaking for a while and that she needed some space. We have stopped taking since, but I cannot stop thinking about her. I try to move on and see other girls but everything reminds me of this girl and I realized that I am very much in love with her. I have not called her or e-mailed her or texed her I seen her at the bar had a quick conversation and walked away. How long should I wait? I am going on vacation in a week so it's gonna be almost a full month of no contact when I get back. I really want her back and I am very much in love with her still. How do I go about getting her back? What do I do about this other guy?

This is exactly wht happened to me and my ex/bf. My bf of 2 years broke up with me, and i tried to get him back, but he pushed me further. 8 months later, I found someone, and that was when he realized he "suddenly" wanted me back and was very much in love with me. At the time, I said no to him. TO me, I had found someone who is wiling to commit to me 100%. My boyfriend had broken my trust for him by dumping me out of the blue...

2 months after being with the guy, I went back to my bf. I can tell you, its not easy at all. Because of everything thats happened, there are lots of trust issues at hand and a loss of the spark.

Think about whether is her you miss, or just the comfort zone you want back. There is a difference between wanting a relationship and wanting your ex back.

Danielepew agony auntI agree with the girls, but particularly with Ask_oldersister: "You had your chance with her and you blew it, big time. Live with it." I also think that there must have been a reason for you to break up with her. Think about that, too.

Angelicc agony auntTypically man, you always want what you can't have.

Sorry to be a B**** but i think its right you get a taste of what you dish out to her. You broke up with her, she wanted and tried to get back with you....she was there in your grasp. You liked the fact you could have her whenever you wanted but didn't have to be in a relationship with her.

Now she not avaible you want her more then anything.

I think you should really think about whether or not you truly love her. If you don't let her go, if you do then fight for her.

Good luck
