hi..i broke up with my girl about 6 months ago,we just had some sort of falling out..shes extremely emotional and touchy..since then she has moved in with some other dude whom she was friends with for awhile i guess..but in the course of this six months she has called me up around 5 or 6 times crying and saying "i love you".."sorry".. and all sorts of other stuff like that,its always around midnite or later and i can tell shes drunk or at least getting there,everytime i'll just listen silently and when shes done talking i'll just say call me tomorrow and tell me this when youre sober..of course she never does,she just blow it off until the next time we talk,usually in the next few days..what would drive her to do something like that repetitively?,i can tell shes really broken up when these calls take place..but for the most part it confuses the hell out of me!Tell me what you think..thanx

She still has feelings for you during the periods when she is sober she is able to control them and herself. When she starts drinking the alcohol erodes her control and her feelings surface.

She really needs to get some professional help as it seems like she is using alcohol to medicate herself. She needs to deal with her feelings and move on with her life.

You are very nice to listen quietly while she is talking and are doing the right thing by asking her to call when she is sober.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
