You're a fucking retard. Too many guys here mess up their own relationships.

Let's put things in perspective dumbass.

1) You admitted you were slacking in the relationship - therefore she wanted a break. Not really her fault here, women are emotional creatures.

2) You still want a relationship with her.

3) Even though you want a relationship with her you delete all her pictures and hide your relationship status.

^^ So this cycle began with you slacking and it ended with your ego way too high to actually honestly change yourself and go for what you want. Instead you were all mad with her and deleted your history with her in no time just to get back at her. You fucked yourself over big time here and you will learn from this. Unless there is more to the story this entire thing was mostly your fault, but by the end of it it was completely your fault for ruining what you had left.

Yeah, I'm aware I fucked up pretty bad here. This is my first long term relationship so I guess it's just live and learn. But in your opinion is there anything left to be done other than to move on?

I guess you didn't read a single post in this topic if you're still asking that same question.

The only thing left to do is to say you're sorry for your behavior. Tell her that it hit you quite out of the blue and that you know you overreacted.

Don't try to get her back anymore, just admit your mistake.

You want my damn opinion on this thing?

What are you exactly trying to do? You're listening to posters telling you to break up and you're doing exactly what they are saying. Don't you have an opinion in the topic? Aren't you the one who's stuck in this whole thing? Where are you? Man the fuck up and take some decisions instead of taking them from other people, learn how to handle responsibility.

I understand that it is your first relationship, but you have to admit that you fucked up big time. The girl regrets her words. Hell, I have even broke up with many girls and I have regretted it and wished that they would give me another chance to make things up.

Don't be an ass, two and a half years is a long time and if you really want her, then you know how to get her. If you don't want her, talk to her, be honest, and move on. Enough said.

She is acting like a kid. She breaks up with you then tries to turn it on you???

Wuuut???? First of all, ask yourself if you really want a girl that does that? Take her back and she'll know she has the power over you to treat you like that and get you back as she pleases. Best to give YOURSELF a week to decide what YOU WANT. This time also acts to let her miss you, so if you decide you want her back your in a good position.

If you want to get back, it has to be on your terms, be strong, don't cave in. Be alpha. Your the man

Here's the thing, though: he clearly wants her back or he wouldn't be asking what to do next. But instead of being strong, being alpha, and being a man as you suggested, he is trying to play petty games and stringing her along for no apparent reason. What she did isn't childish. I'm sure she meant it when she said she wanted to take a break because there's only so much emotion you can invest in a relationship before the lack of reciprocity drives you to do things like this.

First off sounds they're pretty young. All advice is pretty decent because I doubt they'll end up marrying (who knows though).... Therefore it is experience. They are just different ways of playing the same game.

You just have to see what you want and see which results get you there.

If a girl 2.5 yrs in tells me she wants a break, I would also hide FB status etc. It obviously worked had it been a tactic on his part. He can play the sort of douche card to get her back if (A) It works, and (B) He knows he was being a dick and then rights what he wronged.

It's a game gentlemen. You have to keep playing till you croak, single married divorced or otherwise. Robotic "I-know-I-made-a-mistake-please-forgive-me-I-will-let-you-go-and-if-you-don't-come-back-you-were-never-mine" shit is bull. Women play the game just as much, bust most don't realize it, they do it naturally (because they are women). Do try that shit and tell us when you get laid.

Fuck with her mind and her body will follow.

Ask her why she wanted a breakup in the first place.
Remind her that it was her that initiated it.
Kinda block her off/play hard to get for a week - a month, focus on some other shit you're interested in.

But after reading through the rest of the comments/replies on how you were slacking on the relationship, just don't focus on getting her back but improving yourself. Not saying this in a bad way, but just don't focus on her. She initiated the breakup and this gives her the upper hand. This gives her the opportunity for you to crawl to her.

Go do some other shit, meet new women and from there you can either move on or wait till she caves hard.

Advice for those in a relationship

She's telling you she's going to break up with you on the count of three and she's giving you the, "2 1/2...2 3/4..." Consider that a proper time to object, but she can only count to three so many times, you dumb mouthbreather.

Just admit it: you don't care about her but you know, seeing her on the weekends, you know she's your only viable source of getting your dick wet.

That is super cute. Initially I felt that giving cold shoulder was a good response until it was really clear that all you're doing in playing mind games with her. It's disgusting. If you don't want her back, let her go. It's not that hard, just say, we'll revisit the situation in a couple of weeks and find another HB. If you want her back then reengage and say how much you miss each other and you realised that distance has helped that both of you will need to compromise on the situation. But do you actually love her? or is it as Dr Jones said... you just want to make your dick wet because a flat screen, pay per view, lube and a sock can do pretty much the same thing. In the end, she cares about your relationship and playing mind games isn't bringing you or her anywhere.
