Male[25] Female[21] Together for 3 years.

I think my ex girlfriend is done with me, I spoke with her last night because I needed to get some stuff off my chest so I could let go and move on. She cut ties with me back in Sept and soon after that started to talk with someone else soon after. In my mind she just left out the blue but she told me in her mind she was done with the relationship before hand. Our relationship had a lot of up and downs and she told me what hurt the most was that she felt betrayed when there was times I didn't have her back when she got into it with our friends. She believes our breakup cause distance between her n friends close to me by there reactions towards her. She finally acknowledge how I changed to the person she always prayed for but when it happened it was too late. She says I need to stop beating myself up and blaming myself for the breakup. So she told me we couldn't be friends because she know the other guy wouldn't be ok with it that it can be on a hi and bye basis since we see each other at church (me and her attend the same church). She been talking to this guy for about 2 months. I took a chance n asked her if she would marry him n she was quick to say yes. Followed by how much better her treat her, treat her like a queen, how they are equally yoked, cares about her feelings and etc. She makes it seem like this guy is everything she always wanted. I told her I was happy for her n the first thing she said was "No you not" n I told her I really was because I care about her happiness. She knows I still love her and what to be with her but I know now I have to let her go. I told her I hope maybe in the future we could have something with eachother and her first reaction was "Oh so you hope my relationship don't workout" I said no thats not the case I then told her if its meant to be for her to spent the rest of her life with the new guy then I could respect that but I will always have faith that God will bring us back together. Our conversation didn't hurt as much seeing that I've been through the pain and heartache already so I was able to keep my emotions under control. I really love this girl but I know I need to let her go n if its meant to be then she will return. I understand that we needed to separate, our relationship was becoming unhealthy and even though I changed too late, I still want to believe that I have a chance maybe in the future. I've decided to stop contacting her so she can live her life n I can do the same. Can I get some advice.

You've been broken up for awhile. She's told you how she feels. She is happier without you and obviously clicks with this guy more than she did with you. Leave her alone, and drop the delusion you have, of having a chance with her in the future.. Learn from this and move on.

These are hard things for a young man. May the love of Jesus shine on you abundantly. Be single and may your grief pass away from you in time.

She sounds like a smart girl. You sound like a broken, albeit decent guy.

Loss is painful, but pain isn't a total loss. Hang in there buddy.

My advice is to forget about her and move forward with your life.

Rejection is hard. The feeling of rejection can lead to internalizing the lie that you are not worthy of being loved. The feeling of rejection is real and valid but the truth is what you need to speak to it...that you are worthy of love and important and valued. Tell yourself those truth when the despair of rejection tries to make you believe lies about yourself.

Sorry to hear about this, mate. To me, it looks like she has moved on and she seems to be happy in her present relationship. To be fair, I would have been ticked off if my ex told me that she hopes we can get together in the future. In turn, I would ask her if she was hoping that my present relationship doesn't work out. So, I can understand why your girlfriend got a bit agitated when you mentioned that.

Here is what you can do -
1) Sever all contact with her - remove her from your FB newsfeed, from your IM contacts, remove the pictures from Instagram and un-follow her, remove her from your FB pictures/music/audio/videos, etc.
2) This is a time to pamper yourself. Go on a trip, get a massage, treat yourself to good food, etc. - the options are many!!
3) Engage in a hobby - weightlifting, running, music, art, etc.

Most importantly, get close to God. God can comfort you and He can wipe those tears and soothe those wounds. I know this because I have experienced it. I hope you bounce back quickly. Hang in there! :)

I think now it's time for you to move forward, find yourself somebody new then maybe you'll forget about her.
As for me I always think anyone can hurt me, just because my own family hurt me when I was little.

What you've decided to do is the best advice anyone could give you.
