Search Results: dating right after a break up

Hi everyone,

New to this whole question thing, so please bear with me. My ex and I broke up two weeks ago. About three days after the breakup, I made the mistake of begging pleading, etc. She said some nasty things to me because of me smothering her, etc. She stated I would have to change. To stop pressuring her to get back together. To stop being the drunk I used to be. To stop being clingy and to stop having anxiety attacks. Well, I started to go no contact so I could give her space and work on myself. I got on anxiety meds, I've been sober two weeks. During my no contact, she comes over to my apt. She says she loves me. We cuddle. We kiss. She stays the night (no sex). She has done this the last week. But when I talk about getting back together, she freaks out. Yelling she is single and is free and can do whatever she wants. I know she is talking to other guys, and most of them just want to sleep with her. She says she knows that's all they want, but they are just "pawns" and she is the "queen". And I need to work on being the "king", but I need to stop with my B. S. and start improving. Also I need to stop with the boyfriend stuff because "We are not dating and I am not your girlfriend" says her. This is right after we went shopping together and I dropped a couple hundred on her for her birthday. I'm a nice guy, so I get it I probably did mess up a lot in here... what do you all think? Should I keep trying, Or is she lying saying she loves me and wants us together just not right now. Is that even real: saying i love you but can't be with you now?

So my girlfriend and I just broke up earlier this week. I admit I had a drinking problem that caused some rifts in our relationship. I've always had a problem with having one too many drinks, and I become someone different when I drink. She also has an older sister who went to rehab for alcoholism, so it's a personal issue with her that hits close to home. She found out I drank a beer at the Superbowl when I promised I wouldn't. It turned into a whole argument of us blaming the other for all our fights. Like she cheated on me before Christmas with her best friend (she did) or how my drinking has depressed her. Anyways, we called it quits, but she came over the other night to talk and it sounded like we wanted it to work. We said I loved you, kissed, and she even stayed the night (no sex just slept together). When we are in person it's like we are dating again, but apart she acts distant. She gets mad if I call her baby. She doesn't message as much. She states she doesn't want a relationship right now, and I really need to prove myself if I want her back. I also discovered she is talking to her best friend again she cheated on me with. I had her block him after the cheating charade, but she added him back the night we broke up. Should I keep trying to win my ex back. Or should I move on?
