So my boyfriend of a year and a half broke up with me two weeks ago. I didnt see it coming, I thought we were happy. Just hours before he told me we were laughing and smiling and telling each other how much we loved each other. But its complicated, he needs space to get his life back on track after suffering from anxiety. He doesnt feel like he can be with me anymore, we were too close. I was relying on him too much because my best friend had cancer and I wasnt dealing with it very well. He needed his space.
The thing is I know he still cares about me, I just wish he could see that I would give him all the space and time he needs. Id do anything for him, he is my world. I dont know what to do. I cant stop crying. I was hysterical for the first week of the break, and wouldnt stop hassling him because I was in so much shock. Now things are good between us, we are friends. But Im worried he’s just feeling sorry for me because he knows how much he hurt me. I shouldnt have cried in front of him and showed him my pain when we first broke up, but its too late now.
I dont know where to go next. I really need him back. Hes not better yet, I know he needs me too. Im so worried.
Everything Ive read about getting exes back is to act like youre doing great, that you dont need him. But I dont want to completely ignore him, I want him to know I still love him.
I cant go on feeling this bad anymore. I cant eat, I cant sleep, my work at uni is going downhill.
If anyone has any advice at all I would appreciate it so so much.
