Drop her like a sack of potatoes. Her best friend probably likes you. Take her out. The best friend has been waiting for this day.

If it was your own mistakes, chalk it up as a learning experience, tell her that you understand why she left, and wish her the best of luck, and LEAVE IT AT THAT! Speaking of country songs, Some of Gods greatest gifts are Unanswered Prayers

I think you picked the wrong song . How about " She Changed Her Mind , But She Couldn't Change Me . " People have to accept each other as they are . They say a woman marries a man hoping he'll change but he doesn't . A man marries a woman hoping she won't change and she does . People are what they are so take a good look at each other . I think the backing off advice is good . You're right to make amends to a limit but go overboard and she's in control every time you make a mistake . Good luck . The prayer advise is also good.

I found out long ago that a women has a brain that is almost the same as a mans except for theirs has 1 extra part located far back behind the eyes and it's sole purpose is to NEVER forget anything you do. They can bring up something you did 30 years ago like it was just yesterday.
The medical name for it is a "Booger Vault"

Your dog will always love you no matter what.

Learn from the relationship and move on. Don't go begging for her to come back, she'll use it against you for the next 100 years.

Kinda sappy but true.

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was.
We do not possess anything in this world, least of all other people.
We only imagine that we do. Our friends, our lovers, our spouses, even our children are not ours; they belong only to themselves.
Possessive and controlling friendships and relationships can be as harmful as neglect.

Been married since I was 20..... That was 26 years ago. I was just lucky and found a woman that loves me and accepts my faults.

Tell your gal that you are sorry (if you are), and quit calling her. Forget she ever existed and go on with your life. Gals dont respect wimpy men if she loves you, she will come back. If she doesnt, she wont. It's that simple.

When you find a woman that accepts you for what you are, warts and all........ Treat her well, tell her you love her every day, AND HOLD ON TIGHT TO HER.

A good woman is Gods greatest gift to man, A mean spirited woman is Satan's punishment.

Honestly, let it go...I found that once a relationship has a rather large fall out, it isn't worth it to start it back up again. I know it takes time to get over it (i am close to your age and have had 2, 2 year relationships that both went bad and tried to start over). Both times i tried to start it back up it went fine for a month or so and then the same old nit picking and bringing back old memories that caused the relationship to go bad were huge issues that i realized were never going to change. Im sure in some circumstances things will differ but i know from my experience and friends experiences that it is very rare for something like that to be changed...thats just my feelings, and best of luck to whatever happens... I also really do agree with shovelhead on that quote that he put. If it is meant to be, its meant to be.

Be real. Tell her how you feel, and leave it at that. If she wants to come back, she will. I believe truth, and honesty go along way in relationships. Even if it doesent work out, atleast you were straight up with her.

And always learn from your mistakes. Because now you know of atleast 1 thing not to do next goround....

Good luck

Ahhhh the old "Robert Frost" poem. Read and listen to this poem, there is alot of truth in it. If it's ment to be, she'll be back, if not, life is to short to fret over!

Two summers ago My wife and I were getting a devorce, I had a lot of geat advice from everyone hear. I fretted over the situation, I didn't want the devorce, she did, said I turned into the back side of a donkey ...... I tried to persway her with all the "take to lunch", "buy flowers" and crap, but the only thing that worked was, I GAVE UP. I said the hell with it and started being "MYSELF", after becoming myself again and taking care of "ME" I was able to natrually start taking care of my family. After she saw I was taking care of thing's, everything else just started to flow better and before to long we went to the court house and canceled the devorce filing. Today we are very happy and both have a much better understanding of one another.

Good Luck
Curt
