Relationship Stress / by Austin8521

...See more My girlfriend and I broke up about a month ago. We had an amazing relationship. We were best friends before we dated and it led into something more. We dated for about 1.5 years but all of it was long distance because I was away at college. We fought quite a bit but never about big things. I'm not very good at opening up to people because anytime I have every tried I was made fun of so I quit telling people how I feel, including her. She was down to see me the week before she broke up with me because she was getting ready to go to training for the military. When she got to training she called me and said that she wanted to break up, she told me I was unmotivated and I took her for granted. Anybody who knows me knows that neither of those things are even remotely true but thats what she's sticking with. To make things worse we had talked about marriage since the very beginning and I was going to ask her parents if I could marry her the very next week when I went home. I never thought I would be willing to marry someone (I was never serious in a relationship before her.) Since the breakup she has told me that she loves me and that she misses me. She has told me that she even made a pro and con list about our relationship and there were way more pros but she is sticking to her decision. However, with all of the sweet things that she's been telling me she has also been mean. She has liked tweets that were clearly about me, and taken pictures with other guys so I would see, and has even called me to tell me how happy breaking up has made her. I've told her several times that if her mind is that made up then she need to quit contacting me so I could recover but she keeps texting and I always end up texting back because I don't ignore people. I know that I have to move on but I'm afraid, I was ready to marry this girl and I don't know if I can feel that way again and I'm not really for sure if I want to feel that way about someone other than her. Thank you for listening to me.
