Bro32 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Met with my ex today! I was able to let her go and told her that it was for the best! She told me that she was sorry for stringing me along! She said she had realized how disconnected she was from me when she caught a spark with a guy one night! She said that she needed a guy who intellectually challenged her and took care of his health and body! Has anyone ever come back from the GIG syndrome? Link to comment

Yes I have never taken them back though... like, do I want someone in my life that left the relationship because they decided they would be happier with someone else? Or someone that chooses not to work through problems together and pulls away to the point that the relationship falls apart? Or someone that has no respect for me or courage to be honest about what they really want? No thank you. Maybe it's my ego talking but I have zero interest in being anyone's back up plan.

If she really left because the grass looked greener, there are two outcomes. 1) The grass actually IS greener. No, she won't come back. You weren't what she was looking for, and this other guy is. 2) The grass isn't actually greener. She probably will come back. And you'll always know that she left because she thought something looked better. What's going to happen the next time something looks better? Things look better than where we are all the time. Wouldn't you rather be with the person who sticks with you even when it's hard and other things look better? Link to comment
saluk Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 "She said that she needed a guy who intellectually challenged her and took care of his health and body" Eww. She probably loved meeting up with you again to get some more things she doesn't like about you off her chest, and make herself feel even better for breaking up with you. Link to comment
DancingFool Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I wonder if she is being so brutally blunt to the point of cruel with you because you are completely refusing to accept that she really is done with you and this relationship. This isn't GIG syndrome, OP, this is just over. Link to comment
SGH Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It's possible she said hurtful comments to purposely get back at you, because you appear to be okay with the breakup (even though based on this post, I would say you are not). Is there any truth to her comments? Do you feel the two of you connected intellectually? Do you take care of yourself and maintain your physical body? I only ask because the more truth in her statements, the less likely she is to regret ending the relationship. I agree with the other posters that her saying these comments to you was in bad taste, but I also think those are reasonable expectations for a partner. I don't think you should go changing every aspect of your life to try to win back a dead relationship, but maybe it could be a good time to implement some changes that make you feel good about yourself and help you attract other partners in the future.

Bro32 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I’m not fat by any means! It’s just that she is in vet school which is her life and we do not connect with her career and she doesn’t connect with mine. Link to comment
Bro32 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 This was a long distance relationship btw guys!! Link to comment
Bro32 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I said that I needed to worry about myself and that she needed to find herself! I said I hope you find what you’re looking for! Link to comment
MissCanuck Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 This isn't GIGS. This is just her being done with the relationship, OP. Don't try to arrange any more meet-ups. Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 LDRs rarely work out. She met someone else locally. She's been trying to end it for a while. Leave her and all her people alone. Simply delete and block her and all her people from your messaging apps and social media. This way, you can move forward and not waste time contemplating the wherefores and whys. Start dating locally. She been working on finals in a different state and I’ve been working back home. The last time we spoke wasn’t good! She told me things that I did not want to hear and I told her never to contact me again. Link to comment
Bro32 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I’m not! That was it!! I feel better knowing I was able to tell her in person that it was for the best! Deep down under the sadness I knew that this wasn’t going to work out so those are the words that came out of my mouth! Link to comment
Bro32 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Yeah we were stupid for trying LDR!! She said she realized how disconnected she was from the relationship when she met this guy! The relationship lasted 4 weeks after that! Link to comment
Bro32 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Would this relationship be different if we lived in the same area? Link to comment
