My ex girlfriend split up with me about 3 months ago. She split up with me after 18 months and it seemed very sudden to me. She used reasons like since her 21st birthday (the week before) she needs to be alone for a while, sort her life out with her career, get her own friends and do stuff spare of the moment. This would have been fair enough but I was never one to stand in her way with any of these things and was willing to help her with any of these. She also said that she thought we were heading to something that wasn’t there anymore but a couple of weeks before she mentioned marriage and moving in together when we were on hol and a couple of days before she said she loved me.
I had a feeling there was another reason why she split up with me suddenly so I checked her e-mails as she gave me her passwords before. I felt terrible for doing this but I needed to know. I found a couple of e-mails to her ex (who cheated on her with her best friend about 2 years before me but they were friends afterwards), the e-mails said miss you, and he’d sent one back staying miss you too, I hate monday mornings after our weekends together. This was 2 weeks after we split. I know they met up just after she said she needed some space for a few days but I don’t know if anything happened or is happening. But to other friends, she said her lifes a mess. She knows nothing about this and me knowing about the e-mails. I do not do this anymore and I will never do it again I hate myself for doing it.
The last 3 months have been hell for me, she was my first serious girlfriend and I love her to pieces, I can’t get her out of my mind and I think of her everyday. People told me to just move on and its not that easy, she does still owe me abit of money for a holiday but I was prepared to cut my losses.
I maintained no contact for 2 months but last week, her gran died. I felt like I needed to contact her because she was very ill when we split up. I just said I heard about your loss and my thoughts are with your family. She thanked me and left it at that. Then a few days later it was my birthday and she sent me a text saying happy birthday x and I just replyed saying thanks. And then she sent a message saying Have I got anything planned for this year? I replyed with a few things like starting a degree and going on a skiing trip and asked the question back to her. She replyed saying her grans funeral next week and got a few job interviews. We sent a couple more texts to each other and I showed her abit of sympathy towards her gran and said well done with the interviews and thats all I heard from her.
When she broke up with me she blocked me on facebook, but I remianed friends with her brothers and sister in law and she remained friends with my brother. Today I noticed that she must have unblocked me because i could she her comments on her brothers wall in the news feed. She is not on my contact list though. One of the comments I saw said shes got a job. I also noticed that her friend who use lived with her when we started going out was in her picture, however these two had a massive bust up when they were living together and they both ended up moving out. But I could see her relationship status and it said single.
I’m pretty confused about the whole situation, nothing makes sense. I don’t know why she contacted me after this time, if it was to make the peace or she how I react to her. I still have strong feelings for her and wish I was still with her but I don’t want to come across like I’m weak or a doormat, but also if she wants to give it another try then I don’t want to act like i’m not interested. I think so far I seemed quite strong in her eyes and i’ve acted like i’ve moved on but i’m far from that. Or maybe I shouldn’t have been so nice to her when she text me. Should I try and get back with her and if so how? If not, how can I move on? She is in my mind everyday.
Thanks, advice will be appreciated.

Sorry bud, Never been through that. cheers
I don’t understand why you are confused as to why she contacted you. According to you, you contacted her first to send sympathies for her Gran’s death (which was a nice thing to do). Since then, it sounds like just general friendliness. Unless she suggests meeting up, it sounds as if she is just trying to be no more than friends. It is hard to get over a first love, but give yourself time. Go out with your friends to take your mind off it.
Hey me and my ex had a huge blow out over the friends I was hanging out with. We split up for over a month and I felt dead inside and I really wanted to get back with him. My friend Sue turned me onto this web site and it really helped me get back with him, that was 4 months ago and thing have never been better, maybe it can help you too
Good luck and hang in there
