Virgo needs Leo advice, please

I'll try and make this quick.

Me and a Leo use to date, she broke up with me over a fight. Leo would constantly tell me how she regrets it, but we decided just to be friends and see where life takes us. For 2 years she has experienced a lot of sadness, uncle died, soon after her grandma passed away. I truly felt sorry for her, and I was always there by her side. Well... A year later she betrayed me, and I was very hurt. It wasn't because she was dating other people, it's hard to explain, but the one time I needed her most, she just left me and didn't want to talk to me - I don't want to get into much detail because its a private issue. So I told her how I felt when she did that, and said I want to be alone for awhile because I didn't know how to handle this at the moment ( me being a virgo ). Fast forward a bit, I finally told her I don't want to be friends, I thought very long about this and this is what I truly need. Her being very stubborn constantly told me how awful I am, and I'm trying to run away from my problems. Regardless, it's my decision, and it wasn't just that time, it was everything leading up to that moment.

Leos' I need your advice.

What's the best way to let go of a Leo (best at the time) friend of over 5years? Why do they have a hard time letting someone go? What's the best way to handle her verbal attacks, because I'm tired of being cool, and nice to her, I warned her also. I hate to explode because I feel awful after its over. Should I stop replying to her text/calls.

I really respect her still, she's a wonderful person, and made me a better person. People change, and sometimes we need to move on.

Thank you 🙂

Aw gee, you both sound kinda like me at the same time.

You just have to put your foot down. There's no good way around this one. It's all ugly. She's a fixed sign, too. Stubbornness is a signature in their nature. If she's not ready to let go yet then it will be a tumultuous battle of wills with herself. The only thing you can do is prepare yourself. She's invested 5 years, even if the total contribution is a bit one-sided, . If you want to take the quick a dirty route just convince her to hate you but you said you respected her.

Be firm, yet gentle. Time to take one for the team one last time.

Thanks guys, your post definitely help me get some insight.

Today she sent me a message to my email, cell, iPad, all saying "BYE!!!" A part of me really wanted to reach out to her because my virgo side wants to comfort her, but I know it would make things hard/confusing. I hope one day she'll be able to see my point of view, and also that I don't hate her, I just need to be move on. I won't be responding Eventhough I feel like a jerk for not responding, but from what I heard, it's probably the best way.
