    Hello, all.

    My girlfriend has broken up with me a little over one month ago now. We were together for seven months and were extremely compatible, always talked about everything and anything, and fell asleep and woke up on the phone every night and day (it wasn’t long distance, but we weren’t living together). The only thing that really brought us down and made it all go to hell was the consistent petty fighting brought on mostly by me. That I accept, that it was my fault and that she got fed up.

    However, there were no signs of decline whatsoever. Whenever I felt like something was wrong or that something indicated such a thing, we would always talk about it and she would assure me nothing was wrong. Up to the day she broke up with me, we had fallen asleep on the phone, woke up on the phone, and talked through the entire day until another petty fight came along. It had to do with me being mad because she was about to cancel plans we had for over a week because one of her friends was feeling down and wanted to see a movie last minute. The petty fight that looked like all the rest ended with her saying that she was done and would delete all of my contact information..

    I let her use me by providing her with the emotional support that only a couple would provide each other, but she never provided me with any. Less than 5 days later, she tells me she has “fallen” for this guy. But this “guy” is someone that was also on the rebound because his girlfriend of 2 years broke up with him. I pleaded with her one final time, I sang her a song, and wrote her a letter..all the wrongs things, I know. But after that, I simply said that I was ok with being neutral friends. They’ve been together for a month now, I have to constantly avoid her to avoid the emotional pain, and I avoid her when she tries making conversation over texts. I want her back, I’ve given her a lot of space by never talking to her but I’m afraid of permanently losing her. What should I do?

    You should take what lessons you’ve learned from this failed relationship and move on smarter and wiser. I think you underestimated the toll that the “petty fighting” took on her over the course of the seven months. It’s hard to empathize sometimes, but although [i]you[/i] think the fighting was petty, it seems to have really hurt her. A lot. So next time around work on controlling your part in any fighting and be aware of the impact the fighting has on your partner. Some couples fight like cats and dogs and think it’s normal and others fight only a fraction of that amount and break up over that discord. Be sensitive to your partner’s emotional limits and find someone with whom you are compatible with when it comes to the issue of conflict resolution.

    I hope that helps and eliminates your confusion.
