Ok, so my boyfriend of about 6 months broke up with me today and I guess I'm just looking for some support or advice or anything. I'll try to make this fairly short. We met at a summer camp that we were working at this past summer. He told he liked me about 2 wks into knowing him and we eventually started dating about 3 wks or so after that. Excluding the month that we were officially together at camp, our relationship was long distance. We went to school a hour away from each other and when we were home we were about 45 minutes or so away. Our relationship was nowhere near perfect and we had some issues especially about communication. We were really trying to work through them and things seemed pretty ok but for the last week my intuition was telling me something was up. He told me the main reason he wanted us to break up was that we needed to work on our communication. He also said that we didn't have that much in common and that we should work on our friendship instead. Basically he says that he still wants me in his life and

Everyone here is going to tell you to do no contact ... lol. But I say take it day by day. See if he initiates a friendship or not. If he does and it doesn't hurt you too much, then keep talking to him, but once it begins to hurt you, you may need to tell him to cut contact off, and that's ok. If he doesn't initiate calling or a friendship, then he's definitely not worth your tears. So like I said, just see where things go and try to do everything you can to cheer yourself up or get your feelings out. Go out with friends, eat a lot of junk food, pamper yourself ...
You don't know forsure if a friendship will work at this point, so only time will tell. It might take a few months to realize if it does, but remember if he doesn't do anything about it, then you can get really angry and start to move on, lol. Girl power yay! (I'm such a loser lol)
