Lost her by being mentally lost

Title says it all for the most part. She was hairstylist for 2 years and I crushed on her hard, I finally made my move when I knew she was available and swept her off her feet things were amazing between us! I’m a Taurus, she’s a Leo. We got a long great, until I had life issues. Somewhat of a snowball effect, I started to smoke a lot of pot and it totally altered my mind and my personality(I was doing so because I was starting to run into a lot of life stress, used marijuana to cope) I became pretty closed off, in terms of just not opening myself up much to her and being very emotionally available because of the turmoil I was creating in my own head( terms of moving states to be closer with to my family due to my schooling getting finished up, job losses during covid, and oddly enough I made it a point to try and convince her whole family to move states with me they were 50/50 on it she wouldn’t move alone was the case) she was scared I was going to up and leave her, I severely abused the marijuana for MONTHS, and left myself in this mental battle with myself and never really knew what to tell her and I knew it was draining her because I think she thought I was going to leave, not matter how much I reassured her I wasn’t going to, she would say she felt like the only thing holding me back. Right after Christmas she ended it with me and I sunk deeper into depression, I had just lost both my dogs the month previous, I was stressed out, I was extremely stoned to try and escape my problems and the same week a good friend of mine hung himself and an aunt passed away. I was not in a good place, and for awhile. 4 months later now basically, I’ve been doing work on myself, figuring out what I want which path to take and put an end to the marijuana use. I’m doing tremendously better mentally for the most part, the weed did a lot of damage, but shes telling me she 100% physically and mentally doesn’t want to be with me again. She’s upset because I wasn’t allowing the deeper connection to happen between us and says our relationship was almost more of a friendship and I wasn’t very romantic and open with her, obviously. I also had an issue for a while with one of my testicles and the dentist had messed up one of my nerves and I couldn’t stick my tongue out really without incredible pain, so the sex wasn’t really there. But when we would I would defiantly try, she was upset because I wasn’t pursing her more. I completely understand where she’s coming from and how she feels, I just hate that I feel like my situation I was dealing with is something unimportant to her or she over looks it maybe, doesn’t take it into consideration. I really want to get back with her but she told me it’s been 4 months now and she’s ready to move on. We were amazing together at the beginning we never were mean to each other but when I try to talk to her about us now it’s almost like she’s angry if I bring it up and shuts me down with it, we’ll talk every now and than usually over Snapchat texts, she sent me one of the memory things the other week, I’m really not sure what to do here

You seriously need to take a break from considering any kind of relationships and solely focus on working on yourself. Become the person who you yourself would go crazy for. Then slowly let yourself back out to society and mingle to reveal to all the best version of yourself... If you want any chance to win her back, you need to tangibly prove you've significantly changed from your dark times, not just through words..

Posted by Undine When trying to win someone’s heart, we are inclined to show them the best of us. Instead, you mind and body did everything possible to sabotage your chances. Listen to them, lol. Maybe they are trying to tell you something you didn’t grasp yet.


See that’s just it, I totally sabotaged things, but the more I think about it I’m like wtf were you doing dude! I did have to be a “teacher” somewhat often just thru life things for her and that did draw on me from “a lack of perspective/life openness” on her part but I wouldn’t say it was make it or break it

Sounds like you have a victim mentality, the weed did it, dead dogs, covid crisis, dental pain. Might as well blame Trump as well.

Honestly just going by what you said and I don't know her story, but she sounds like a drama queen. That aside if she says she is ready to move on let her. It's selfish to keep trying it on with her. She's probably angry with you because she can't help you or you're not the person she wants you to be.

At the end of the day some people just aren't right for each other. Stay off the wacky baccy and don't waste your time on people who can't reciprocate affection. Above every else stop feeling sorry for yourself.


I’ve been trying to not be in that victim mentality but with the crap I was dealing with, even more honestly than mentioned, it’s kinda hard not to let yourself dwell down there. But I know that’s not the mentality to have, and yes she is some what of a drama queen especially when things don’t go her way(negative emotion type attached to situations)

It sounds like you have been through a lot. Be proud of the progress you've made and continue working on yourself. Maybe revisit love after you have completely healed from past events. Good luck.


I’ve been thru harder and worse, I feel like I finally got myself to spot in life where things were going great and honestly once covid hit everything went straight down hill again. Just that life deal I guess, go thru it again maybe I’ll get myself somewhere I didn’t realize I could be at now

You chose weed over the woman

Maybe this is something to learn from?

I didn’t even realize it at the time. So much mental fog and it’s something that gradually came on as something little and just consumed me, big lessons here

Have you given up smoking it now?

Yeah I gave up on the weed, best thing for me but it’s like dude should of done it months ago. Minds so much clearer, but now I can’t stop focusing on how badly I messed up with her, and I have huge motivation to try and make it right but even tonight I texted her and she didn’t respond. I think I’ve made things to negative over the broken up months now that she just doesn’t care anymore

That’s good, seems it didn’t do you any favours. As others said, time to move forward now

Wishing you much luck with a happy new start
