10/4 thanks for the help
tfw this is literally me, last time I spoke to her was October 9th, 3 years down the shitter.
Long distance relationships don't work out, especially when there's downtime / time when either person isn't busy all the time. Same shit happened with me, just have to move on. Sorry :(

You sound like a clingy mother fucker man. Leave her alone. It's up to her to contact you again.
