yeah... women do tend to expect a partner to be there for them. especially if the partner has shown a past willingness to be there. we (women) tend to think that's important.

i honestly don't know what to tell you. maybe she just needs some time, but i think it doesn't make sense for you to hold off on living your life in the meantime. she may find out how well you're doing and be curious and give you a call.

i don't think it is very helpful to try and coerce or manipulate a woman into getting back with a guy. but some honesty would help, not neediness or desperation as those are totally unattractive, but speaking to her about how sorry you are, you know you made a mistake, and is there anything you can do to make it up to her? that may help, but be prepared for honest answers to honest questions. she may say 'no, there's nothing you can do. that ship has sailed' and you'll need to live with it. arguing with something like that or trying to convince a girl after that is probably not the best course of action.

maybe this is an opportunity, sure it is painful but maybe it's what you need? would be hard to see it that way but it's possible.
