Surely she is having to at least force herself to not care and not make contact.
No. No she is not. 2x4 time...she doesn't care in that way anymore, period. If she did, would she be behaving like this?
Come on, man. You just said mind reading does no good. I'm making almost no contact with her and I care like crazy. She's all I can hardly think about. She sure acted like she cared when she was leaving. She stayed with me for a month. Her emotions were all over the place. Sometimes she was the meanest I had ever seen her, sometimes she cried, sometimes she acted normal and nice -- all over the place. If she didn't care, she wouldn't have had any emotion, or would have just acted happy or content.
