Last saturday... WE BROKE UP! And since then I stop texting her (I just can't) but she keeps on texting me and askking for forgiveness. I can't stand it. I am trying to get over her but she keeps on letting me hold unto a doubtful relationship. I still love her but I am tired of waiting for her. She keeps on saying SHE LOVES ME but why did she broke up with me. I am really confused HOW SHOULD I PROPERLY REACT in the things she constantly doing.
Now let me ask you... SHOULD I REPLY HER TEXT MESSAGES or shouldn't I?
Please help me... I dunno what do to. Sorry if I am so bothersome to all of you. It was my first relationship and my first heartache as well.
I am really happy for all of your great advices and I am still looking forward to read your responses here as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE

[i]Hi Jhordie,
If she made the decision about breaking up with you and now begging you to start a relationship again, that sounds childish but I believe about second chance but it is up to you! I mean, evaluate yourself, do you think she deserve a second chance? what was her reason for breaking you up? is it you or more of her fault? if you evaluate the relationship properly and talk to her deeply about it, then you can decide for that...It is hard for me to give my opinion since I have no idea about the real scenario.....Good luck![/i]

I said to myself if she really want our relationship... I will still give a week before I start moving on (is that too short?) but guess what... she changed her status in friendster into single just after 4 days. What does it mean? Sigh then now I am getting over her... she keeps on saying... if time comes that I still find a place for her inside my heart...she is still there. HUH?! Pretty confusing...makes it harder for me to have some peace. Ughh

I can sense that you have still feelings for her why not give her another chance so that she can truly show you that she will correct whatever mistake she has done with you. That is if your feelings still remain the same. If it is not then I guess you just have to stand on your decision to break up with her.

If it is broken off, then you are broke up and you don't text each other. So don't respond to the texts. Do you have friends you can hang out with? if so, go out with them and leave your phone on vibrate.Go to the movies or any other place you can have fun.I think being with friends can help.

What are friends for? I am so sorry I am about 3 weeks behind responding to posts. If you need to talk, shoot me a private message. Take care.

Hi, I know the discussion is over 7months ago, but what's up right now? Have you actually left her or did you get back together?
I am a girl, and I know how she feels. There are a lot of times in a girl's life that we regret what we do. Perhaps we just needed the extra love that's why we act that way (trying to break up) but I tell you, usually we do regret the actions we did and we end up trying to get back together.
I don't think it's an ego trip whatsoever. It's actually a sign that there's some lack of care and the girl feels that breaking up with you would be the best way to revive the love if you decide to run after her.
Whew!
I know it may seem childish, but I tell you we do regret breaking up with you specially if true love is there. It's not some game.
If ever the situation is the same right now, I'd tell you ask your heart. Do you feel you can live without her or do you feel you're just really tired and want to move on? If you feel she is someone you'd want to be with, then pursue her once more. But if you feel you are tired and want change and that everything she does only annoys you, then move on.
Good luck..

Hi there Jhordie. This is the last post i make from my city today because i have to catch that train :D.
Now to get down to the serious business. I... know the pattern and i tell you this - never look back - if it didn't work once it won't work again as the same problems especially in a case like this where she broke up with you and now says she loves you, will occur again. In my opinion she has experience how it is to be alone and that is why she is trying to get you again.
Be careful, that is my advice and don't fall for it. If you want to feel better about this whole situation and not feel guilty i think you should send her a message like this " I forgive you, but i have my own way now, and i wish you a happy life with the one you will love when you find him, i am not the one". Apart from that, nothing... just don't answer to her. The faster you let her go, the faster you will be able to concentrate on your life and perhaps on the next... relationship or perhaps THE ONE relationship that will really change your life for ever.
So bottom line, don't get stuck in the past... let it stay in the past and concentrate on present (with slight views over the future :P). Even if you have to wait for a long time... it will be worth it (i don't know if i ever told you this, but i waited for almost 2 years before i got into the relationship with the girl of my life, because i got tired of just being with someone for the sake of not being alone).
Take care Jhordie and remember, this is not the end, this is just a new beginning !

i totally agree with this person. if she chose to end it once, she can do it again. if she really loved you, she won't do it anyway. but in a second thought, there are things that break the couple but as a saying goes, it is sweeter the second time around. The only thing I want to say is don't close your doors to any possibility but still guard your heart.
I am happy you are OK.

This as the nicest advice I ever had in my entire stay here in mylot... and NO DOUBT that it will be coming from my dear friend here. THANKS BRO! I would be d*mb to disregard your great advice FOR IT SAYS ALL what my mind is trying to say to myself. I must agree with you in every single aspect for I need to GO ON and start a NEW CHAPTER in my OWN BOOK called LIFE!
Thanks bro... and thank you is not enough to show my gratitude so I guess being THE BEST here would be my token of thanks to my friend who manage to respond even before boarding the next train going to his destination. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Hope your vacation with THE MOST SPECIAL GIRL be as SPECIAL as you have expected. God bless you two kind soul!

Well, I know it has been a month now since you originally started this discussion, and I am sure you now know which is Best for you, and hopefully sticking with it, but I have found many times when you have been in any type of Relationship for a while, there will always be some type of feelings there, and always mixed feelings for sure when you ever choose to break ties. But as the saying goes, there is nothing wrong with giving it some time if that is what you are choosing to do and still be friends, and see how things go. You just might need the time to Test things and see how you both really feel, and if it is meant to be then things will happen to bring you back together, but if it is too be just friends, or nothing, then in time you will come to a realization that is what is Best for that situation as well.

And this is what the reason why most of the love stories was shelved... you must go and talk with her... don't have so many questions like, "she loves me, but why she breaks the relationships"...... go with a blank mind and talk with her...... you see.......

I suggest that I you should go ahead and talk to her. You know, if you want to put an end on your relationship, then you cannot solve it if you always run on such. So the best thing to do is to talk to your ex-gf and clear things out. If you really love her still, then theres no big deal for that. Try to work things out by talking things as uch as possible in person not through text I suggest. After all, we are all deserves a second chance. If you really love each other then why not? All you need to do is to fix whatever problems you had before and start all over again. :-) I hope I'd help you with your problem..Goodluck!

Hi Jhordie, I'm not really used to guys being in your situation and have the smae predicament as yours. It is usually us, girls who are in that situation. No offense meant.
Anyway, I think you just have to give each other some time apart to think what the relationship really means for both of you.
I think the reason why she's still calling you is because she misses you but not automatically loves you.. How long have you been with her, may I ask? The longer you'd been together, the harder it would be for her to let go. Habits are hard to break, right?
Stay away from her. If it means being hard on her, do so. You'll do both of you a big favor.
If after sometime of being apart, you finally realize that you really want to be with her despite what she has done to you and she's still there when you come back willing to take you again [ and hopefully she has also realized how much you mean to her] maybe you are really meant to be together. But if not, move on.. Someone out there is more deserving of your love and attention:)
Good Luck:)

I understand why you said that... but try to understand also...I am not the one who said QUIT. I assume she meant that. I've tried to beg not to but she insisted then just after a day or two...she keeps on doing the 'habit' as you have mentioned here. I gave her about a week to decide but to no avail... she didn't made up her mind and made her status in her friendster account as SINGLE! What does it mean... simple...she is trying to have a new life without me. Its fine but why is she doing the same thing over and over again. I'm tired and don't feel continuing this struggle. NEED SOME PEACE!

the truth is she still loves you..but you never showed that you really love her..she cant see your love..she asked to break up with you because she wanted to see whether you really love her or just do whatever she wanted you to do (broke up)..so to me, if u really do love her then show it..never give up until you know that you do the right things...so good luck dude..

You shouldn't reply for now. Let her realize if she do love you because she needs you or she needs you because she loves you. It seems, she isn't sure of it yet. I guess, she told you she loves you despite telling you first that it's over, because she knows you can't stand to lose her. Don't be hurting, you do not deserve that. How young are you, anyway? If you are below 20's, then explore. Too young to get serious about love.

give her a chance.
marriage is a big step,and she may be scared.
a relationship that long deserves at least one try.

Hello, Jhordie.
I believe you should text her back. Text her back normally, not as a lover but as a friend. Just because you are not dating her doesn't mean you cannot be her friend. So, I think you should not be closing yourself from her, otherwise this wound will be always open.
Ask her to meet you. And when she does, ask her why did she break up and what is going on with her heart. If you still love her and want to go back, do it. But then you know that the relationship might end at any moment. Other than that, tell her that you are better alone and that you won't go back with her. Be firm. Show that you are decided. Show that you have made your mind.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

i dont know what to tell you since its not clearly elaborated why she broke up with you, and why did you say that your relationship is a "doubtful" one? but then, try talking to her the things that you want to clarify, the things that is bothering you and the things that is in your head right now. Maybe both of you needs to have a heart to heart talk to strenghten things over, because maybe she has some issues that she cant discuss to you and also, for you to know where you stand in her life. Then, after that, you decide whether you have to let her go and move on a life without you.
I hope things will be better for you.

There are some things you need to order. You said you still love her, but she really loves you?, why do you broke up, what was the reason?, do you really want to get over?, or do you want a last chance?, you should answer yourself this questions and then make some decisions about that relationship.
