Well, 10months later and we are back together. I had even forgotten I wrote this, wow I was so upset back then.
I just had to give him time and space, and once he got over anxiety and realised he still wanted me in his life we worked things out and things couldnt be better.
Advice to others: it takes time, if it’s meant to be then youll work it out, but be prepared to give space.

over a month later, and we had a big talk yesterday. he told me that he isnt in love with me anymore, and that the spark is just gone between us. i think this was the real reason for the breakup, not that he ‘needed space.’ he should have told me sooner.
i can see how he thinks the spark is gone, things got a little stale at the end, we got into a routine. BUT im still madly in love with him, and not giving up. i think ill be living the single life for a long time, but i know that there still is a spark, ive just got to try and show him.
i think im going to leave talking anything about ‘us’ with him for a couple of months….we’re both going home to our families for christmas so maybe the space will be good (I see him every single day). ill continue to be his best friend (as i have been doing for the past couple weeks- its hard, but still nice, as i love him as a friend as well as being ‘in love’ with him- we were friends for 6months before we got together). Then maybe see how things go after christmas and cross my fingers that he doesnt find some new hottie in the meantime!
what do people think, best thing to do? or is there aything else that would be better? im worried that being his friend will make him see me much too plutonically, like he does his other female friends. im worried about the risk but dont think i have any choice.
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.
