Using your logic, she no longer respects me as a man, so until I begin operating as a man, we have no hope to build a new relationship.
Do I have it or am I getting closer to the dynamics at play here?
When you become a real man, your self-esteem will be high & intact enough that you will not worry about "hoping" to build a new relationship, if she wants to be with you, she will pursue you at that point. Plain & simple.
