How to Breakup/Deal With Break Ups/ex

Question
QUESTION: me and my girlfriend dated for 5 months.  everything seemed to be going great, until one day she said she didnt feel the same way anymore.  this came 1 week after she was telling me how into me she was.

over the last 2 weeks or so, so she had become a little sarcastic at times with me.  she would give me some wierd looks as well, but this this would be followed by her telling me how much she liked me.

i would occasinally ask her if she was ok, not at the times she was being sarcastic.  when she was sarcastic with me, i would sort of not think about it.

if there was something going on, something that she had an issue with, if she really wanted to be with me, would she have directly told me what the issue was before breaking it off with me?



ANSWER: Ryan,
Yes, she would have definitely shared that information with you.  So, she has now made the decision to move on and probably her sarcasm is a way of her dealing with the guilt that she may feel.  I would allow her some time and try to have no contact with her.  Meanwhile... build your own fabulous life and let things play out as they may.  Good Luck and I hope this helps..

QUESTION: are things such as never inviting her home with me to meet my family, or not telling her i loved her yet.  are these things she would talk to me about?  are these things that would make her feel differently about me?

Answer
They could have bothered her, but she would have fought them out with you for awhile.... these are things that wouldn't necessarily make her feelings change because you weren't together for a long period of time.  They could have annoyed her, but if she really wanted to be with you - she would have discussed these issues over and over again... (we are women - we love to bitch and talk :) ....trust me on that one....
