what are my chances....

My boyfriend of five months recently broke up with me, saying he needed his space to spend on playing hockey, hanging out with friends and time to himself. He hasn't asked for his things back, and he'll leave me random messages or message me online. I miss talking to him and spending time with him. He says he loves me with all his heart ...... What are my chances of getting back together with him?

I can't tell you what your chances are, but I don't think he's being upfront about why you broke up. People don't break up for hockey! Maybe you could tell him how his actions are confusing you, that you still care for him, but I would be careful about being strung along. If he needs time to sort himself out, fine, but how much time are you willing to spend waiting for him while he's out having fun with his friends? Whether or not he'll want to get back together, if things were less than stellar while you were a couple I would move on. Hope that's some help... And good luck!

The only reason to break up for hockey and mates would be if you were posessive and clingy, not allowing him time to himself.

Does this describe you.....or is he not being straight with you?

I honestly don't think he cares for me as much as you obviously care for him. Hockey and friends are no reason to stop seeing you. If you were important to him he would make time for you. he didn't even care enough to come up with a better excuse. Guys dread having to break up with girls so they tend to be very indirect and come up with practical yet dubious excuses. Don't waste any more of your time thinking about this guy, because I'm sure he's not spending much time thinking about you.
