This might be a weird question, but I will explain everything below. My and my ex just broke up almost a month ago, I used to be (as she said) the best man in world for her, and that I made her always feel safe, happy, and everything. But the breakup was bad, it was my fault, I left her back in February due to a big fight that happened, and then kept this small line of communication between me and her just to check up and see if she needs any help with anything in life. Fast forward to last month, she asked me not to contact her again, and here (and I admit it) I went insane, I started calling her a lot, and trying to reconnect with her much more and she totally rejected it fully, and blamed me for “dumping her” back in February. One of the incidents for example is that she works at the mall in our town, I saw her maybe two weeks after the breakup, and i genuinely wanted to give her a ride back home as I remember she used to hate taking the bus, when I approached her, she ran from me, and when I tried to call her she went insane on me, cursing me, and insulting me, and saying that she asked me to leave her alone and I didn’t, which took me in shock given the fact that I just wanted to offer her a ride nothing more and nothing less. Her birthday was 4 days ago, I called her after her birthday to say happy birthday, she seemed as if she was not only not interested, but also as if she wanted to hang up the call quickly. 4 days have passed and today I tried to call her 7 times ( I admit, I might be weak, but I will explain further below ), she did not answer any of the calls at all, and totally blocked my number. The guilt is eating me alive, I can’t focus on anything given the fact that I’m filled with guilt, my heart is really heavy from her being afraid of me after feeling safe around me, from her hating me after being fully In love with me, from her not wanting to hear my voice after she was asking me always to hear my voice and see my face. My question is when? When is the appropriate time to reach out to her again and just apologize, 3 months ? 4 months ? Or how long? And have you guys had a similar experience? Maybe I can use one as some sort of a guidance to help through this, because if there is one thing I’m sure of, I can’t live with this guilt further more honestly, after a month, and it still hurts like hell. Thanks for reading, sorry if I made it long. submitted by /u/Distinct-Rhubarb-450
