Hi everyone! I broke up with my now-ex boyfriend within the past few days, and although I am recovering from the break up very well, I still wonder what may have gone wrong, and how can I be friends with him or ultimately get back together. Or should we get back together, and would it work?
First off, he broke up with his previous girlfriend a few days before he asked me out. He had not seen her in several weeks, so he already deemed that relationship over. But, and I wonder if this is a factor, he was never officially single after that, so I wonder if that affected his choices later. The first month we dated were blissful, and even though we were very different, we got along great, and both of us saw a long relationship in front of us. We were together constantly. Marriage was out of the question, as we both knew we are too young for it.
About a month into the relationsip however, he started to worry that we would not last long. He felt as if he was lying to me because he decided that he didn’t see a future for us. He was as nice as he could be, and felt bad for letting me down. I did my best to remind him that even though we had our differences, we still got along great, and could make it work. But after about a month, during which we still dated as before, he told me that he didn’t believe he could love me, that the ‘spark’ wasn’t there anymore, and we should take a break to think about it. I did not agree, as breaks were codeword for (im going to dump you later) and I ended it, even though it broke my heart. He really wanted to remain friends though, which I agreed to. After our first class together after the breakup, he seemed sad that I couldn’t stick around like we had before we started dating. I am recovering, and he is too, but here is what i sill wonder:
When can I talk to him again without risking a future relationship? How should I go about it? If we decide to give it another shot, what can we do differently to hopefully keep the ‘spark’ going? If he (or I, or both) decide that a relationship cannot happen, can we be friends? How?
Thank you so much for any help you can give. Please be honest though. I find that people ( such as myself ) are much more likely to listen to a neutral party that can give a fair answer without being biased
Thanks again!
