Hey ladies and gents, here's the scoop: I was with my ex for a bit over two years. We'd broken up once before about midway through the relationship, but reconvened after a short hiatus. Once we got back together, everything was great; however, about four months ago, she "flipped out" on me in the wee morning hours and it was arguably one of the most horrific experiences of my life. Similar incidents had occurred before (probably six or eight times during the course of the relationship), but none so severe. I don't know if alcohol was involved or what, but I assure you I had done nothing wrong. We weren't on bad terms, fighting or even arguing about anything at the time.
At any rate, I decided I'd had enough, and ended the relationship right then and there. I said I could no longer love someone who could treat me in such a fashion; not to mention it had happened a few times.
I wanted to make sure I was making a decision based upon logic and not emotion, however, so I opted to take a solo road trip to clear my mind and return with a better understanding of our situation.
Before I left, we'd spoken once about the incident and she was extremely apologetic, promising me it would never happen again (I'd heard that before). I was apprehensive about taking her at her word, but I didn't want things to end on such a hasty, sour note; so I said I needed to see the changes, as opposed to hearing about what would change. I said I wasn't ready to jump back into anything yet, as the early-morning freakout remained fresh in my mind, but I would be open to spending time together and seeing how things would/could develop.
We slept together once before I left on my trip, and while on the road the only contact I had with her was initiated by me. She made no effort to call/text/e-mail, and while I realize she may have been giving me my space, part of me felt as though because she realized she screwed up, she should have been trying a bit harder.
I came home early from my trip just to see her, and things were much more awkward than when we get together before I left. It seemed like she was distancing herself from me.
We slept together once more before Christmas, when she left to spend the holiday with her family. Other than texting me upon her arrival, and one brief exchange on Christmas Day, there was no contact.
I never heard from her when she got back in town, and the next interaction we had was based upon her deleting me from Facebook because she "got tired of seeing all the new females I'd added." I accept anyone who "friend requests" me because it helps my business from a promotional standpoint.
That led to an argument via text which ultimately spilled over into her texting me it was over and she didn't want to give it another shot.
Long story long, she blocked my number and has been ignoring me since. No return e-mails, no nothing. Why is she acting this way, and how do I deal? I'm not saying get back together, but I don't want things to be like this.
