Bless you that's hard and you kinda don't know what's happening etc...my advice..start to find a couple of things to keep you busy if possible. See friends..almost find yourself...maybe if you stronger he might realise what he's got. Take care. Head up high and time will tell

That's so difficult to go through! Give him what he has asked for, and maybe in a few more days drop a message to say you hope he is well. Most of all, please make sure you're eating and sleeping properly! I know it will probably be a struggle, but keep yourself healthy❤

Yeah I've lost weight and sleep. He's my best friend and I want to talk to him all day and I just miss his embrace, his kiss, his love, his laugh.. everything :(

Courtney, having read your previous posts and posts on the other forum I have to advise against contacting him as Quinn suggests.

Honestly, if he doesn't contact you it's over. If you contact him at this point you're just becoming stalker-ish.

Lenoire gave you what I consider a realistic assessment of the state of things, and others gave you advise on how to help yourself get through this. Take it.

Yes it sucks, but that's why everyone else is here.

This is not easy, but when someone wants to leave you have to respect their wishes.

I am sorry and of all days not that other days are better. Defiantly give space as thats his request. I am sorry for your pain.

if you love him, who cares if he asks for space tell him you cant tell him u love him and want this to work out !

You cannot force someone to be with you, love you, or even like you. It sounds like he's asking for space and if you love him you'll respect his feelings. I learned the hard way by dismissing my husband's feelings and trying to be "right" all the time. Let him know you love him, but give him his space and allow him to figure out his feelings.

N_teexo, you're giving me the creep vibe.

If she wants to push him further away and get hurt all over again, your advise is definitely the way to go.

Sometimes people need to back off.

If I politely and repeatedly ask for space, and a man continued to harass me, my next step would be a restraining order.

I'm sorry to hear that you're hurting. It is crushing to lose the presence of someone you love and rely on. At risk of sounding callous, as I absolutely do not intend to, I recommend reading "He's just not that into you." I know it sounds awful, and the very last thing we want to hear or believe when we want someone to come back, but I promise you it will be enlightening and uplifting. At best, it will teach you a little bit about where he's coming from genuinely, how to proceed if you work it out, and what he truly wants, and at worst, it will give you strength and confidence in moving on, and will help prevent you from ending up in another position like this.

Definitely do take care of yourself. Definitely DO NOT contact him. Sending you much love.

A agree I wouldn't contact him either. He knows you love him in sure. Give him space to miss you and want you. Just make sure he's not having his cake and eating it. From a person who has asked for space to be honest I was seeing if someone else was interested. I know that sounds bad and I've learnt the hard way myself. They were not. But I didn't ask for my ex back either. Just be careful. See your friends loads kill time as much as you can xx

Ps if that's a pic of you..You'll meet someone else for sure! In the end it'll be his loss. Build up your self esteem.

Thanks guys.. I have had no contact with him so he is for sure not getting his cake and eating it too.
I think he will come back it's just the whole no talking thing sucks cuz he's my best friend and I want to tell him everything that happens ya know.
And yes that pic is me

courtney,
I agree with the others. No contact rule applies.
At the end of a relationship I continued to see my ex. She would even come by every Sunday morning to visit. It kept me from moving on, it also really messed up my emotions in ways I can't begin to tell you.
Don't prolong agony, it sucks!
Best to move on with the idea that he is out. How many stories have you read here of the back and forth relationships. Its very destructive.
Like others have said, get out and have some fun. Push yourself, and start planning your future without him.
It really will be OK. I would lay down money that there is a much better future waiting for you.
Just open the door.

You don't say how long you were together; the longer it was, the longer it will take to get back on your feet. Be kind to yourself. It will take a while.

Sometimes the best thing to do is take a step back and try to be single for a while. Its really hard to stop thinking about the other person, but it will help in the long run. Reconnect with old friends, find a new hobby, fill your time with things you love to do. Get out of the house and be with people or go places. Definitely agree on the no-contact. Also, if he comes back around, you might want to stop, think twice, and take a little while before deciding on if you are interested in getting back together. Letting someone yo-yo back and forth on you sucks big time.

Once you are happy and at peace with yourself as a single, you have a much better filter for dating new people. Think of it like grocery shopping. You don't want to go shopping when you're hungry.
