<human>: So my girlfriend of 9 months went off to college last August. She was adamant about staying together even though I was nervous and wanted to break up. 

We stayed together through September, when she insisted we take a break, despite steeling myself for a long distance relationship. This was very emotional for me as she claimed she had hooked up with other guys, justifying it as "you can love more than one person at once".

She visited in October where she broke up with me. Ever since, I haven't been able to get her off my mind. I've been in several short relationships since then, but she visits my hometown frequently and hangs out with my friends without me. I just found out I'm going to college less than 20 minutes away from her. 

I still feel badly hurt, and haven't contacted her at all since he breakup. She has tried to talk to me once but I have ignored her. Have I been trying to heal wrong? Should I open up communication again?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Ex-GF of 9 months it's still popping up in my life after a mean breakup. We haven't talked at all yet and I am having a hard time moving on.
