Hey, so this is a throwaway account. Anyways, OK here we go. I dated my ex-girlfriend for about a year and a half.  We were a pretty strong, close couple. About a year into our relationship I found out I got a free ride to go to graduate school across the country.  She still had two years left of school. We thought we were going to try and stick it out, do the LDR thing, but once the time came for me to leave, we decided to just part ways.  It sucked.  Since then, my ex-girlfriend has slowly un-friended me on Facebook, untagged all of the photos we were in together, disconnected from me on Skype.  Tried a couple texts and a voicemail to see how she was doing once or twice, to no avail.  She did respond to e-mail once before with a quick update, but I didn't push the conversation forward since I have no idea how she feels. It hurt like fuck, but after talking to a bunch of people (male & female) about their relationship experiences, it sounds like this isn't really a "fuck you" situation at all and more of "it hurts to think about you" kinda deal.

Fast forward to now, about a half year later - I decided to quit graduate school (not for me) and a former professor of mine offered me funding to come back to my old university to continue some research we were working on.  It's a great opportunity and I decided I'll definitely be heading back in a month. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, keeps asking if I'm going to reach out to her/get back with her (they haven't spoken to her since the break-up either).  It's a total mindfuck of a question.  Do I tell her I'm returning back to town? How do I let her know?  What if we run into each other?  It'd be nice to hear some outside opinions.  Thanks!

Broke up with ex, she un-friended me on Facebook, untagged all photos and cut off all contact. Now she's trying to find me on there and doesn't want to talk to me.
