I am 32 years old, veteran from army, not so good looking but always in the positive side of the life guy. I had a relationship for over 6 years. With ups and downs. I've met this girl in some online game and in couple months we meet irl, things got really good then we started to see eachother almost every week for that 6 and almost half years.. only got seperated for 2 months.. dont remember the details..
My problem is, i dont give value to materials.. For example, rings necklaces, photographs, gifts etc.. I have a diary i keep things like that inside of it.. Well i've tried it at least.. I've got seperated from this girl, simply because of the communication problems.. We couldnt meet eachother cuz her family (mostly her father.) didn't want me. Since im not good looking or filthy rich, her father did not approved me and said to her 'he is no good. he is older than you and he can't take care of you' and she didn't defend me, i tried to contact him. her father didn't wanted to speak with me, so i said to my girlfriend 'okay then. if you want we can go to separate ways with out lives..' and she didn't want that either.. she kept being with me while lying to her father we got seperated... but that made some problems.. since she can't come and see me that often, we started to have communication errors..
I want to get to the point.. I still have some sort of feelings towards this person.. And i still sometimes think about her. Sadly i can't get over it. Some of you will say 'go and find someone new' and i could agree to that person, but it is not that easy to find myself a new partner, since i would feel like im using the other person as a band-aid.. and ultimately that would create some more problems on its own.. so i dont want to ruin someone elses life..

I think you need to decide what it is you're looking for in reconnecting. Are you trying to restart the relationship, or just get some form of closure? The latter is probably easier, especially if she doesn't want to continue things with you, but it sounds to me like it's the former you want. Catch is, if she's old enough to have been dating you for six years, she's old enough to be making her own decisions, and if she won't openly defy her father for you, she's probably more hesitant than you think. I don't know the details, but if it is best broken off, you might do better to avoid romance for a while to get your head straightened out again (hell, that's pretty much what I'm doing these days).
But since my heart is proudly Quixotic and will cling to the bitter end to the love of a better story, here are some suggestions on how to get back in touch: -assuming internet and phone communication is out, is the mail an option? If there's the equivalent of a Post Office Box where you are, that might prove a means of sending messages back and forth undetected- assuming that she destroys or successfully hides the letters. -If not, you could make use of specific locations to make dead drops, secretly exchanging hidden letters that only the object of your affections would know where to find. -An intermediary could carry messages (written or spoken) back and forth, and would likely be necessary to get anything else set up. At the very least, it can let you send a "will you let me contact you again" message without putting her on the spot.
The fact you keep things in the positive is great much better to work through things than being in the negative so good for you. Take it from a females perspective, girls will always be daddy's girl and they are very protective over them and no boy is ever good for them. Granted fathers get to know the boyfriend and accept him and he's not as bad as he thought or he has to put up with daughters choice until he's either proved wrong or right, so dont be to disheartened by the fathers opinion, but yes l would of expected her to stand up for her boyfriend. You were together for 6years plus of course your going to still feel something, like your saying you never had closure or be able to move forward either together or separate to start a fresh so you feel in limbo.
Moving on isn't easy and yes some say find someone else and yes that's true but l think find something else first as in a new hobby/task/challenge to do so that you are moving forward while learning or doing something new and this way it's taking your mind off things if you can't talk with the person and solve things that way. And by doing something new your more likely to meet new people make friends and maybe might find someone who you would like to start a relationship with without pressure or falsely and because you've been working on other things hopefully you will feel in a better place mind and body.
I'm not sure if this is anything near of the help you wanted or if it's way off track but this l how l read and understood you post.
