How do i cope when love feels fake?

Author

so he was my closest friend for almost 6 years and he asked me to be his girlfriend last year... we started out on long distance and he showed me love in words and in actions ... we were supposed to meet this month it was going to be 4 months since we started dating and out of nowhere he texts I think we should part ways. I find it difficult to be present mentally and emotionally and its not fair that I cant reciprocate your love. I can still be your friend but I see no future in us dating or having a relationship. I dont know how to feel about this.

do you feel like you could actually be just friends with him right now, or would that keep you tied to what you had?

Honestly I cannot because I love him so I'd lowkey expect for things to work out again even though he said things will never work out between us. That he entered into it mentally and assumed his heart will catch up but it didn't. He said he'd make moving on his priority and even we go back to it it wont be beneficial gor him he'll just be doing it for the sake and it will be draining to him

when someone says they can’t show up for you, i started taking that at face value even when it hurt. i tried staying friends once and it kept me stuck longer than i wanted to admit

Bet I should just accept it and move on. I think Im scared of loving any other person again. I mean love shouldnt be this scary and painful🄹

How did you cope? cos its so hard and he even shut the doors definitely and said it cant work even in the future so I shouldnt hope for it. I should just let him go. I begged and begged but he said No. He doesnt want to go back to that relationship his decision is final. Im just left with memories and wondering what to do with the pain I feel.

i had someone switch up like that after years too, one day we were planning things and the next he was gone, it left me feeling so blindsided
