Search Results: going back to an ex

I am 26; she is 18. We had an online relationship and we talked daily for around 8 months. We met online on a coding website. She was 17 at the time. She was very into me at that time.

When she turned 18, she flipped all of a sudden. It was like her personality shifted immediately. I met her in person the weekend after her 18th birthday, and she was avoidant of me and told me she did not have romantic interest towards me after I left to go back home. She lives in Illinois; I live in Tennessee.

She said our relationship was "toxic". Although, she said I was a nice guy.

I talked to her mom, and her mom said I was a nice guy, but her daughter has the personality type to where once she closes the door, there is no going back.

I love her, and I hope that one day she will come back to me.

There is one ex I had from 3 years ago who I broke up respectfully as I possibly could. That didn’t stop her from going ballistic and completely psycho. She looked to me as a savior and I just didn’t want that. She threatened to kill herself after the split and it got so bad her family called the cops.

But I was so lonely and frustrated at the time they I pushed myself into the relationship just to feel “ normal” (almost all my friends are married, have kids or at least serious with someone).

Not to say I didn’t like her, I did. But there are were things I noticed about her early that were huge warning signs but I was sick of being running single weird guy joke among friends and family. I jumped into the relationship out of practicality.

THAT I regret. I’ve had past women do much worse to me than that. Still though it’s actually better to be lonely than to be with someone who drives you nuts. However I regret getting her hopes up.
