For people who know my situation, if you dont there are a bunch of posts i started if you want to get familiar, but basically i was reading all our old conversations and it finally hit me what she had wanted me to realize for a long time. that even though i loved her i was being naive and i was treating her terribly. it finally hit me like a freight train was i had been doing and finally all her behavior made sense to me. i sent her an email that said no contact until i figured myself out and why i had acted like i did, but i figured it out the day after i sent the email. now im not going to try and talk to her until around christmas time, but its eating me up that shes getting closer with her best friend, while she still sees me as the person i was. i really want to apologize to her and explain taht i understand how shes felt for a long time and i finally had that revelation, but the only reason im waiting until around christmas time is becuase it seems more plausible for a change in a longer period of time. im just afraid instead of missing me shes going to be more inclined to see me as a worse person and be ok with me not being in her life
