Going back to QuDDus\' original problem...
I\'m so sorry that your gf broke up with you. That\'s really hard. I understand you\'re not ready to let her go. Maybe she isn\'t either.
However, since she is going through some tough times, she needs to back up and really think about what she wants to do to get herself out of the rut. Like someone said earlier, give her the space you need. She probably doesn\'t want to worry about balancing the relationship with you and all the other stuff she\'s going through.
Here are my suggestions:
-Call her back. Yes, you left her a message and yes you\'re too proud to call her a second time. Just this once, swallow that pride and call her back. Leave a message saying that you understand that she needs her space and that you\'re just a phone call away should she ever need you (even just to talk). Tell her that you\'ll be thinking about her and hoping that she\'ll get through what she needs to get through OK. Then you can leave it up to her to call you back and it lets her know that you still care.
-With the time that you\'ll have free, you\'ll most likely be thinking about her a lot. I sense from how you spoke of her, she\'s practically all you think about. Go out to the bookstore and buy yourself a journal; something that looks like you and her would agree on in appearance (ie you probably wouldn\'t want floral on the cover, she probably wouldn\'t want Superman on the cover).
Whenever you feel like talking to her, something you want to tell her, write it all down in that journal. Then when she\'s ready to get back together, you can give the book to her. Or if you decide that you\'re tired of waiting (perish the thought!), you can give that to her, as a symbol of finally letting yourself break up with her.
I hope what I had to say helped. PM me if you want some more suggestions.

Good luck.
LIC I was about to argue everything you said, but decided that it would be pointless. Here\'s what you need:
