What should I do?

My ex broke up with me last week. I don’t want to be broken up. I gave him a few days and then called him, but we couldn’t talk long. I then sent him a text telling him I wanted to work things out, that I missed him, and loved him. I asked him if it was a possibility. He ended up calling me back and only talking for like 2 minutes, and just said that it was a possibility, but he needed some time to himself and that he was enjoying doing what he wanted. I told him I understood, and then he got off the phone. What do I do now? I’m afraid he’s gonna enjoy his time to himself too much :/

Agreed, just live and really ENJOY your life. He needs to know you can exist and be happy without him, he might have felt trapped and seeing you can survive without him and be happy will really help your relationship. If he doesn’t want it to be, then that’s the way it is. You deserve someone who loves you equally back. Loving someone much more than they love you is really boreing.

just do some gardening or something to kill time. be patient, a break from a relationship can be good i think and he just needs to start working a bit harder to make it work. once he realises that hard work will give him a more meaningful and satisfying life for himself and yourself he will come back to you.

i agree. he’ll have no idea though, unless i talk to him. i’ve moved away for the summer, so we’ll only talk if one of us calls or emails..

i guess i’ll give it a week or 2 without calling and see if i hear from him and then decide if i feel like calling him…? he told me to stop sending him texts about this kind of thing because it should be talked about not texted and that it made all of his feelings come back and make him confused. i felt like saying “good! that’s what i wanted!” haha but i kept that to myself.
