Rejected for the 2nd time, it's time to throw in the towel and walk away forever right?

[Anonymous]

I tried to fix my past mistakes with my ex girlfriend. Took her for granted and didn't realize what I had till it was too late. By the time I was willing to move forward, she wasn't interested anymore. She had already checked out emotionally.

6 months ago was my first attempt... rejected. Then we were on speaking terms again and it seemed like she was willing to try again. Last week was my 2nd attempt, declined again.

I've tried all I could. I tried to amend it all and work on being the one she always wanted. It failed. If she doesn't want me, I can't do anything else. So it's time to now throw in the towel right and walk away forever right?

I'm giving up by now. If she declined me twice, then I'm assuming she doesn't love me anymore. She has checked out a long while back and isn't in love with me anymore.

Yes, I think it’s time to walk away and let her go. It’s not easy, especially since you are ready and willing to make the changes she needed, but it’s just too little too late. My biggest advice is to learn from this experience the best you can, so that this isn’t a repeated mistake in the future. Sometimes people are just meant to be lessons in your life, and she’s taught you something very meaningful about the type of boyfriend you should be.

I've learned the hard way. I'll never ever make a woman wait more than 2 years from now on. I'll be turning 30 by Dec and honestly, now I don't want to be dating forever either. I don't want to be a father at 40 nor 50, get more tired by then and get confused for their grandfather. I know how she felt when she was ready and I kept her waiting too much until she lost interest and didn't want it anymore when I asked her twice.

99% of the time, it's best to just let an ex go. Trying to get them back is more often than not just more heartache, and more often than not comes to an end again even if you do get together.
