For all posters on here, I would recommend you take in what siddnee6 has being said...solid advice and will fix most of the issues you are experiencing.
However, I wanna touch on a point which I think has failed to materialise in this discussion....YOU AS A PERSON!
First of all, I went through exactly the same thing, except the total opposite. My ex-girlfriend loved me to bits and wanted to settle down, get married and have kids...as far as she was concerned, she had found her mr right but I wasnt ready for all that and as the issue started gaining more momentum, instead of me bowing out and trying to buy her affection etc, i went the other way, I went TOO unavailable. I was out all the time with my friends, never rang back or texted back and so she had no option but to end it.
It crippled me for months, I never had so much oneitis in my life afterwards. The only good thing was that i never made attempts to get back together again.
Instead I started to respond like I was sarging her, cocky funny, teasing, unavailable but all in balance. Usually this would pull her back but I think because we trashed all our stuff and put the house on the market, she had already crossed that bridge of no return.
My point is this, if a relationship is going down the hill, you cannot fix it overnight. The only way to fix it is to ACCEPT what has happened and put plans in place so that regardless of the outcome, you have learnt from the experience and now you will be better for it.
Just like a drunk cant be helped if he doesnt beleive he has a drink problem.
Once I realised this, i realised i was only hurting myself but more importantly, here was the chance i was waiting for, this would catapult me into my ideal life.
Heres what I did: (this was after my relationship ended but will be just as crucial for you if your on the downward spiral of a relationship)
1. said to myself over and over again 'fuck it, whats happened has happened and i will become a better person because of it'.
2. looked at myself in the mirror and made a list of all the things i both hated and that were not good for me (smoking, alcohol, junk food etc, beer belly, stained teeth from smoking etc)
3. Printed off pictures of all celebrities who i admired and put text underneath why i admired them (example was bruce lee for his fitness, strength and warrior spirit)
4. spent a few hours visualising what my perfect life would be - superfit, wealthy, secure etc (spend last few minutes before bed visualising and living in my ideal world)
5. declared to myself and in writing, that all the addictions in my life would now end so that i could achieve my ideal life alot easier.
6. put together a weekly fitness schedule (with no end date) that would get me into lean shape (cardio and swimming) until I was ready to switch to bodybuilding (natural, no steroids)
7. put together a life schedule (with no end date) and prioritised the things i need to get done and wanted to get done in my life.
8. watched classic motivation films like rocky, american beauty and pursuit of happynes and read classic motivation books like tony robbins and think and grow rich
9. constantly visualised the interaction i would have with my ex when she seen me at my new peak - how she felt, what she would say to herself after she seen the new me etc. This kept my motivation to keep up with my new changes.
That is a brief example of what id did and i have never looked back. The point being, if you have finished a relationship (on good terms or bad) or are on a downward spiral, now is the time to grab life by the bollocks and become who you have always wanted to be. Once you start you will never look back and time will fly by. Then when you start seeing a fit healthy person in the mirror and get compliments from other people, it takes you further and further up the ladder.
Dont be sad my friend, lifes a bitch but as Donald Trump says, its not about losing, its about bouncing back that makes you the winner.
Here is a youtube clip from the last rocky clip, sly stallone sums life up beautifully!
