Why can't we just talk like before?

Author

I asked my ex if he thinks there's a way we could get back together in the future and he didn't give an answer.
I also asked when we could talk normally again but he just told me to "take it easy" and to "give it time" which is completely understandable but I wanna talk to him again, I want him as a part of my life.
I told him I didn't wanna lose him and he said "Me neither and its gonna be okay" But I don't know WHEN we'll be able to chat normally again... But ik its a bit awkward when we play even if he said it wasnt.

i get why you're looking for a timeline, but honestly what helped me was stopping myself from chasing one. when someone keeps saying "give it time," i tried to take that at face value instead of reading between the lines.

I’m for sure working on not chasing timelines to lower my anxiety

before the breakup, did he usually avoid giving direct answers when something felt uncomfortable, or is this new for him?

hanging onto every little text and every vague answer after my breakup, trying to find certainty where there wasn't any. the "me neither" would have given me hope too

Exactly it gives me hope because he NEVER said anything about it being over forever. Even of right now he acts distant because its very recent I don't wanna give up on us

give it sometime if you push him right now he might not want to talk.
