been dating a chick for almost 3 yrs and noticed things changing. the catch is, it seems like it came out of nowhere. things were fine on sat when she left a friend of a friends wedding, and on sunday she asked if i wanted to meet with her and old friends from college whom i know. i declined because i had to work and take care of the house. we would always keep in contact, usually on a daily basis to chat here and there. since sunday she gave no text or call, so i gave a text on tue. in short, i gave her a call and said whats up...and she said things like she had stuff "brewing in her mind" about our differences, like church, kids being discplined, marriage, the whole nine yards. basically telling me that we were so different, but what relationship doesn't have all of those differences? i'm having the feeling that the "spark" may be gone. the question is, is it temporary and what do you guys think i can do?
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

She was just at a wedding, and then met up with old friends that have probably changed a lot since you used to hang out with them. I'm sure they had lots of success stories about their lives, and this caused her to reflect on herself.
She just gained a lot of perspective, and most likely, she doesn't like where she is. Friends are getting married, leading exciting lives... and she's still with you. After 3 years. Nothing has really changed. Its her biological clock dude. She's ready for a big change, and she's just using these little issues that you have differences on as excuses.
So what should you do? Well, its pretty much your decision. You need to shake things up a little. Let her know that life with you is still exciting, still promising. She saw all these other people making big strides in their lives and then came back to the two of you and thought, "What are we doing?". You gotta remind her what a fun, awesome guy you are and why she's lucky to be with you.

after that convo i originally posted on, she ended up going to the "space" card. i had to pick up my ps3 at her parents place, so its the only reason i went, otherwise i would of gave her the "space." i didn't get mad or anything and we ended up just talking shortly about things in the past and in reality i think it went ok. no contact since then... any tips to make this work?
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

you need to withdrawl your presence from her. so you are doing no contact since then thats a start. here is a good thread that had good advice for a similar situation.

Just went through the same thing as you. It goes from bad to worse.
I first clued in about a month ago. Very similiar problems as the thread in the link. I lost my edge, she lost her respect for me, always testing the boundaries, acting disrespectful. Decline in interest level, less affection, attention etc. More proactive jealousy and fake exagerated emotion, she complains i dont spend enough time with her, while i can see deep in her eyes that she's talking nonsense.
I had a breakup talk with her within the first week. Said we should breakup if she isnt happy, she said she was. Increase of interest for 2 days, then back to ****.
Just gets worst and worst from there for the next 3 weeks. I tried to make it work too, but nothing works effectively for the long term. Once it goes bad, its gone forever.
I broke up with her a few days ago.
This thread is an exact blueprint of what happens in a situation like this. Good posts in it.Romjuan said:
