Well done - just move on and ignore her. Don’t rationalise or beat yourself up.
Don’t engage whatsoever.
It’ll blow her mind because women are almost never dumped

Leave it. The attraction grows on the push away. Just ignore. In a couple of weeks you can pull her back in take her to the sack and fuck her then push her away again or you can just move on. You walking is frying her head.
This is the defining moment for you. Hold your ground now.
She’s expecting to just walk back in.

Just duck all of it- and don’t reply period. She’s really starting to panic.
Pull back, don’t answer the phone and don’t text - put phone on silent.
Follow up and talk to other women

By the way if you do walk completely and remove all contact she’ll likely come back and try to fuck you. It may take months, but if you go no contact it’s highly likely.
An ex gf of mine played the same stunt. I dumped her. She married the guy and 9 months Later hit me up for “drinks”. I said I didn’t want drinks but she was welcome to come over Thursday. She did and we went straight to bed. She still comes back between boyfriends now.

I went through something just like this. I was the only one trying to make the relationship work and she was just completely indifferent and showed zero affection or interest.
She ended up kissing a guy she used to date so I ended it.
All of a sudden im the love of her life and she wants to spend her life with me and put the effort in blah blah. Ended up hanging out a few times since ( I had zero intention of a relationship) and she was more giving and adventurous in bed than she'd ever been.
Yep. Cat string theory

Next time don't bother with the sissy whining and just dump her already, it's not worth your time to complain to someone who's already cheated on you. It doesn't sound like you manned up, it sounds like you let your emotions slip and get the best of you. This happens to me too and I'm working on this as well, but next time recognize the value in yourself and what you have. Clearly that relationship is wrong for you and her, so just end it.
How I end things: "listen, this isn't for me, I'm not happy in this relationship, goodbye"
Boom. Over.
Obviously its up to you, but think about it bro.

Hate to say it and don't want to be negative but seems like she has completely checked out from the relationship.
"I know long distance is hard but this is bs and I’m not trying to hold up a two person relationship by myself. She betrayed me and I feel like I’m the one in the wrong and I’ve been walking on egg shells trying not to ruin the relationship when I’ve done nothing but tried to keep it healthy."
Sounds like you are fighting to keep things going and she in turn is off flirting with other guys. If thats what you found out about I wonder what else you don't know about.
I went through something very similar, these are not the actions of someone who loves and respects you.
Good for you for sticking up for yourself though

Nope. It's over friend, stop rationalizing her actions and quit taking it out on her. You can express your feelings to a dead bird but it wont make it chirp.
[–]InternationalBorder9 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think that is true. If haven't been 'manning up' as you said then this is why she doesnt respect you and if she doesnt respect you I dont think she can love you in the way a relationship needs. Like you said when you called her out she was kind of like meh, that I think was due to a lack of respect and thinking she could just disrespect you and get away with it.
Im not saying its definitely over but its not looking good at the moment. But as you said the only way it will work is if you stand up for yourself and your boundarys.
[–]rhofire 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link
Here is the harsh truth: she's not interested in you.
Your best bet is to walk away. If you stay, just accept that she doesn't want you. Also, ask yourself why you need her so much.
You sound like you don't have any experience with women. You need to sort that out.

I’ve had 2 or 3 different women all over me at one point
What do you mean, all over you? Were you having sex with them? Or were they just giving you attention?
I do have plenty of experience with women
Please describe your experience.
my sense of manhood has diminished because my career has not given me enough financial independence for me to feel proud of
This means you're doing it the wrong way. You're valuing yourself based on your career. You will never have lasting confidence with that.
Again, this shows you need more experience with women. You don't know how to deal with women. If you did, first of all, you wouldn't put this kind of energy into a long distance relationship.
Sort it out.

I’m just overall less valuable now
To be clear, what makes you valuable (or not?)

What do you mean when you say provide? I'm talking in terms of women.
[–][deleted] 5 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
[–]rhofire 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Yea sex
What does this mean? Were you having sex with these women or not?
Look, your answers are contradicting themselves. Men who know women don't talk like this. You have to learn to value yourself just because you exist, not because of what you think you have to offer.
You haven't mentioned anything that turns women on sexually. In fact, this is the kind of stuff that repels women. If you want things to change, start meeting women in real life.
I think you're lying to me, what you're saying doesn't add up.
Sort it you, else you'll always be frustrated.

you dont live a long life man, live a happy one. it's sad to be lonely, but you don't NEED a relationship, you want love, but don't need it. It's addicting, you need to be happy is what you want. but you don't have to let it ruin you.
[–]Visualize_ 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
How long have you been in a relationship with this girl? If it isn't that serious I would just consider breaking up considering it's long distance and that makes it much harder to rekindle some spark and maybe it's just better for both parties. If this was a long term relationship, then I think you did a really good job standing up for yourself and hopefully she comes to her senses and cuts out her bullshit

According to another comment you’re in an arranged marriage?
I don’t think this belongs in r/seduction man. Check out r/relationshipadvice.
Calling out a girl for shit in a sarcastic way is okay but blowing up at a woman is a massive sign of insecurity & shows you have little self-control. If you need to tell her something, you have to calmly bring it up, explain what you noticed, how it made you feel, and ask what she thinks about her behavior. Don’t act threatening or ragey. Just discuss it calmly.
Women aren’t transactional. You can’t do X and expect Y in return. If she’s flirting with other men it means there’s trouble in your relationship. This is normally the honeymoon phase of the relationship where everything should be going smoothly. If you’re having cheating issues this early, she’ll likely do it forever.
Best advice: Break up. Move on. You’re probably a great guy and can find other women who will be loyal and who you don’t have to ask for affection. Don’t be afraid of being single. Take a risk. Go for it. When you find a special someone, it’ll all be worth it.

Exactly, he blew up. He did not "man up" he just unloaded all of his feelings on her when she clearly doesn't give a fuck. Which will ultimately make things even worse for the poor bastard.
"Hey, I noticed you don't show me affection anymore. That's really making the relationship a struggle, if that continues our relationship won't"
