![]() ![]() Every time he’s adamantly refused, and I think forcing it on him if he doesn’t want it on his own would make things worse.ĭoes anyone have any advice? I do genuinely want to remain friends, and I know he does too, but I’m struggling with the fact that me being a part of his life is making things extremely difficult for him and I don’t know how to fix it. That’s because the hardest part about breaking up with someone you love is convincing yourself that. He could take as long as he needed and I would be right here when (and if) he was ready to return. I had a lot of feelings and thoughts that didn’t seem to make any sense to me whatsoever. I’ve offered him space more times than I can count, with no strings attached. Allow yourself and your partner sufficient time to share your thoughts and feelings about the progression of the relationship up until this point, as well as why you have decided this is the best. Short-term, however, I genuinely think he needs to take a break from me so that he’s able to better accept that I’m not part of his life in a romantic sense anymore. I’m not “the one,” and there’s no sense playing the role of the doting loving girlfriend if I know it’s only a waste of his time. Long-term, I know that that’s not me being his wife. More than anything, I want what’s best for him. Moving on From a Breakup With Someone You Still Love As if getting over a breakup wasnt hard enough, getting over someone you still care about can prove even more trying. He’s so dead-convinced that I’m “the one” that he won’t listen to any sort of reason, and it’s starting to affect our friendship. It sucks to realize, but if we try to start over then things will just end again in a few months, and I’ll have broken his heart all over again. He genuinely sees me as his future wife and the mom of his kids, and I simply can’t get the message across that us trying this again is the worst option we have. He still has a vision in his head that we somehow make amends, get married, have kids and live happily ever after. The thing is, as much as I want to remain friends and keep him in my life, he’s still not able to accept the fact that we aren’t getting back together. We have a lot in common and understand each other on a level that I haven’t experienced with anyone before, but our lifestyles differ too much for us to be compatible in a romantic relationship. We're still friends and I genuinely think this is how things should have been all along. I hit a breaking point at the end of February and I was done. About a month ago I broke things off with my (18f) now-ex (19m), who I had been with for 5 months. ![]()
