Obviously she did NOT lose interest in you because she is still spending a ton of time and energy on you. So something else happened. She probably felt smothered by you and that she could not grow and learn how to be an adult woman. No woman wants to be treated like a little girl by their guy. You're supposed to be her partner in life, supporting her dreams and helping her grow. If you were squashing her at every opportunity, she had to leave you to mature.

She's undoubtedly worried that if she lets you back into her life she will get more of the same. So you have to prove to her in real time that you ARE able to be there by her side and supportive without being squashing. Show that to her daily. Find ways to encourage her, to talk about her dreams, to support her growth. Instead of saying "I want things to be the way they where!" (which she would hate) say things like "I want to go to XXXX with you because I know you'll love it. Keep suggesting things she'll enjoy and that support her. That is in essence what dating is all about. Then after a month or so of doing that, ask her if she likes your NEW style of dating.
