    Joe,

    I wouldn’t come on heavy in this situation…. Better to just ask if she would like to grab a drink or coffee (short date. 1 hr max) and talk…

    I sympathize with your heartbreak.

    However I do believe you are not seeing things clearly. If someone breaks up with you it is up to them to repair the relationship… But the real question is why would you even consider dating someone who doesn’t love you in return? Doesn’t this sound like an unhealthy relationship? Masochistic behavior? Please focus your energy on self improvement and finding a more suitable mate… Women have plenty of options these days as they are in shortage.

    I would use this as a learning experience. Looks and physical attraction initially attract a male but it the personality that makes them stay. Were you a positive sweet and supportive mate or one that was negative and nagging? How well you treat your bf plays a very large role in the outcome. In return your mate should be confident, affectionate, and a lot of fun.

    To be honest in your email it sounds like your ego is having a difficult time being dumped. Do not take it personal as even the rich powerful and beautiful get their hearts kicked around.

    Sometimes the most empowering thing you can do is nothing. This will prove to your ex that you are over them not by writing a “I know we had to breakup before you actually dumped me” type of letter. The only exception to this rule is in the rare case that you really messed up such as cheating, threatening, or being unloving. In that case, by all means swallow your pride and admit fault… But the letter should read more along the lines of… “I’m sorry for how I treated you. It was wrong. I still care deeply about you. Can we grab coffee this week?”.

    Namaste

    Sid,

    I feel compassion for you. Heartache is a universal experience that everyone suffers at some point in their life…. even the rich and famous get their hearts kicked around.

    I would use this experience as a learning one. Never allow a romantic partner to make you a back-up plan. It never works out and always results in suffering that could have easily been avoided. The reason it never works out is because your mate loses respect and yearning for you. When the subject was brought up, you should have distanced yourself from her and laughed it off as a dodged bullet.

    Does your ideal wife treat you in this unloving and almost masochistic sort of way? No, of course not. That would be unhealthy. Your ego is getting in the way of seeing clearly reality (1) she did not love you (2) she did not treat you very well (3) she is not loyal (4) she does not care about your feelings (5) being married in this type of situation would be HELL — that’s reality. Please realize that everyone should expect love, respect, and loyalty from their romantic partner. This is a boundary issue. Think of healthy male role models — would Tom Brady allow his partner to treat him this way?

    I would focus your time and energy on securing more meaningful employment and self improvement.. Are you taking steps towards creating your ideal life? If no, why not Sid? Is fear holding you back? Please ponder this.

    In conjunction with pursuing your life-long goals I suggest you start developing some sort of spiritual life and meditation practice. You need to learn how to control your repetitive thoughts and emotions that are torturing you and draining you of life energy. You are your own worst enemy at this time. Please have compassion on yourself Sid, we have all been there and you are going to come out stronger from this situation (and laugh about it one day). Suggested reading list in this case. Each of these books was worth their weight in gold and improved my life tremendously.

    1) Power of Now – Tolle
    2) Doc Love – “The System”
    3) No More Mr Nice Guy – Glover
    4) Way of the Seal – Devine
    5) Mindfulness in Plain English
    6) A New Earth – Tolle

    Namaste

    Only losers cheat. People with integrity and class end the relationship first. You have to draw the line somewhere and realize that this behavior is not acceptable or desirable in a mate.

    Don’t be so hard on yourself even the rich and famous get their hearts kicked around. Take for instance Jennifer Anniston or Justin Timberlake.

    If this is a trend in your life (always getting dumped) it is possible you are repeating your mistakes. Or it could be the same type of man you are attracted to that is the problem. Men love feminine women that are sweet and supportive. If you are harsh and critical or nagging that is a man’s worst nightmare. Maybe reflect on this. Looks are what lure men in but your attitude makes them stay long-term.

    As far as your feelings of inadequacy, this is something all humans share in common. Welcome to the club. In my experience the only way to break through this is a mix of healthy behaviors and habits. Are you neglecting your body? Diet? Need for friendships? Need for meaningful work?… Are you meditating daily? Praying? Having a spiritual life? Setting goals?…. I suggest developing a mindfulness practice… Otherwise you’ll be doomed to having your recurring thoughts and fears dominate your life and drain you of energy. Controlling your self defeating thoughts will restore the energy needed to make positive changes. Lastly I suggest you to be thankful for ending a toxic relationship. It is better to be alone than to be someone’s slave or second option.

    Namaste
