Just because YOU think they are regular ups and downs doesn't mean she does. Her perception of your relationship is her REALITY of your relationship. Just because you think its "normal" or "average" doesn't make it so.

Also, don't assume that just because she isn't contacting you that she has moved on. Patience is critical. But at the same time, you don't want to sit around waiting and hoping for her to change her mind.
