So she hasn't been fulfilling my needs and I nexted her. Went cold for awhile. Didn't engage in all her clingy attempts to bring me back. We've dealt with alot of issues and she's only ever made incremental change. So I was done, ready to move on.

Recently, I layed off the no contact and gave her a brief texts letting her know where I stood. I was pretty clear that this wasn't working for me. Later that day we both attended a function. I played it cool, didn't show any emotion. Just regular me. In doing so, I made a big dick joke. Something was a tight fit and I was like "story of my life". Haha. She then decided to make her own comments "you wish... no way...etc". I ignored it, and didn't get upset or defensive as we were around people and that would validate it. They know we dated/are dating.

Later, after the function, she invited me to lunch. I declined. She then sent me a very long pleading message about how she's been doing research and promises to fix our issues. Yeah ok. I've heard that one before. I told her I wasn't interested. She had a little bit of my attention but completely lost it by publicly insulting me on a topic we've discussed before. I'm average size, not terribly self concious, but girls know that's a sensitive topic for guys and love to push buttons so I've lost some confidence there. Anyway, I told her no, told her off. She still pleaded, offering me things she denied me in the relationship.

What do you make of this weirdness? Did she try to neg me? In my mind, it's the equivalent of calling a bitch fat and then trying to get with her. It reeks of manipulation. I can't get it off my mind.
