Long story short :

 

5 years long relationship with my gf ( who also was a friend for three years ), broke up in July because I started freaking out and acting insecure because of a job-related problem which, I thought, could have an impact on our relationship...nice case of self-fullfilling prophecy.

 

We left in good terms as we never argued about anything during those past five years and I never begged, never asked her for a second chance ( though I was still pretty much in love with her ) but after a month of trying to remain friends I decided that I wasn't respecting myself as I obviously wanted more so I stopped contacting her and that's where she started contacting me quite frequently. I would act aloof or ignore it altogether when the reason for her contacting me was obviously an excuse but the shorter my answers were the more she would contact me, up to the point where she would write me every other day ( !!!! ) last november and when I basically told her very gently that out of respect for the both of us, I didn't want to pretend that I was satisfied with the terms of our current relationship, I didn't want to be her male girlfriend, that I knew I had made errors but I still wanted to be her man and lover and if she didn't want the same thing, that's okay, but I had to move on with my life.

 

She was sad and said she would respect my wishes, which she did until December 21st when she emailed me for Christmas ( on the 21st at 11pm ? lol ) and wished me lots of great things in a sweet email to which I only replied "Thanks, you too" because I didn't want her to think I had changed my mind.

 

Two days later, she unliked my band fanpage ( she was really invested in my musical activities as she is writing a musicology PhD and I'm a semi professional composer for videogames, publicity, short movies etc... ) when I started posting news about the band that I had put together after our breakup ( the singer is a girl ) and, after a few hours, closed her Facebook account altogether ( instead of simply blocking me ).

 

I'm ok with that since I've been healing faster since she stopped contacting me and I think I believe she did the right thing for both of us but what do you make of this whole story considering she has initiated contact something like 60+ times, that she was writing to me every other day ( with me barely responding if at all ) before I asked her to stop since she broke up with me and hasn't been dating since July ?

 

Who breaks up with someone, only to contact that person every other day six months after the breakup ?

 

I wish she would give us a second chance but I can't do anything more than I've already done : told her that I still cared about her but if she wasn't interested I had to keep moving on with my life.
