She likes you on perhaps many levels, but you are not ticking all the boxes equally. While she is busy working on herself, you can work on your self image, and learn to love yourself more. People will not love you more than you love yourself - sad but true.

You can still be friends if she wants that, and be there for her daughter to whatever extent is possible if it pleases you. But to act like you are waiting for her would be totally inappropriate. You are more likely to get her back if she thinks she has a limited time frame. And that's good news, because you might just meet someone easier to get on with, who won't use sex as a weapon and all the rest of the tricks these difficult types use...

Repeat after me: No more Mr. nice guy!

Well i guess the bright side of this is you do know you can get through it. You know what to do because you've done it before. She's probably confused because she's not happy with you but she was obviously not happy without you. so she doesnt know what makes her happy.
