Just left with the imagination
| Fri, 09-21-2007 - 8:12am |
My boyfriend broke up with me 2 weeks ago over the phone after a 2 year relationship. I was so confused because just 1 week prior to that was our 2 year anniversary and he sent me a dozen roses. He asked if he could still call me and I said "absolutely not" and I hung up on him. He sent me a text saying he still felt the same for me and hopes to stay as close as I'll let him. I didn't respond. After the weekend he sent me an email and asked us to move forward, that I hope I understand his decision and that we should be good friends. I didn't respond to this either. He hasn't tried to contact me since. Now I am left only with my imagination. I have no idea what he is thinking. I don't want to call or write..but need some advice on how to handle this. Thanks for your help.

Hon, you are doing the right thing. He wanted the break so give it to him. It's hard but concentrate on yourself and heal yourself. Maybe some day down the road you can be friends with him, but right now is way too soon. NC is usually the best policy.
Post on the boards, journal write, write unsent letters to him, list all the negative things you can think of about him and the relationship, take up a new hobby, talk with friends, read some good self help books, take walks, punching bag did wonders for me :). Make a list of all your good qualities and repeat them to yourself everyday. You will get through this it will just take some time. Take care.
Plus 1 to everything sasisizz has said.
Welcome to the board hanala2007,
I'm confused, he broke up with you on the phone, you told him you don't want to hear from him and now you say "I have no idea what he is thinking. I don't want to call or write..but need some advice on how to handle this."
Handle what?
It's amazing how much our stories are alike.
Thanks for the input!, it really helps!!
