My now ex-girlfriend of 5 years hurt me pretty badly at the beginning of this year. I wanted to break up with her, but she cried and begged me to stay. In the end I gave in and stayed with her, I said we definitely needed work though and she agreed - said she'd do whatever it takes.
Things were good for a while, I could tell she was really trying. But then recently she started going cold with me. At first I thought she was just in a bad mood, but it persisted despite my attempts to try and engage more with her. She wouldn't ask me about my day anymore, wouldn't joke around with me, would give me cold, half-hearted goodbyes, didn't really seem to care if I saw her or not.
I grew tired of it and was hurt that she could act like this to me after begging to work things out earlier in the year. I just told her I was over this relationship and was leaving. She didn't question it, she said "if you feel that way, that's fine". She looked a bit sad, but nothing like the crying and begging that I witnessed when I last wanted to leave. As I walked out the door she sighed and said "I'm sorry".
I've never heard from her since, it's been 2 weeks. Not sure why she acted this way, if she met someone else or what went on - it completely blindsided me because I'd never seen her act this way in the 5 years I knew her. She was always so devoted to me. I wish she had broken up with me if she was so content with me leaving, because now I'm living with the regret of knowing it was me who decided to leave.
