The 180 - wow, I couldn't be doing anything MORE opposite. I even sent her flowers. That's insane.
She was most attracted to me when I finally landed my dream job 6 years ago. It was heaven for both of us. Not just the money, but the chance for advancement, relocation, etc. Within the last 2 years, all I bitched about was how horrible this job had become and can't wait to "quit this shithole" - which really turned her off. Emotional detachment began.
I think back to a time when we were living together early on in the relationship. Two years in and things were going south, so she started seeing a guy behind my back...I busted her, she moved out and all I was left with was rabbit ears on an old TV. She took all the furniture. I missed her, cried to her every night, begged her back - nothing worked. So I gave up, went out and bought all new furniture, repainted the apartment and had it looking stylish. 3 months later we run into each other and talked, she came back to the apartment and was astounded. Only later on did she say, "I was really surprised to see the turnaround, I thought you'd be still in a fetal position in the corner - I was pissed cuz you CAN live without me!" We kinda laughed at that.
I will be digging up this forum big time tonight.
