Why does he want space? navigating breakup confusion

Author

So basically, My ex said he doesn't like me anymore and rn he wants distance for a bit, for like a week of something. I honestly want to become the best version of myself, I want to have goals...But I'm still hoping that maybe after a while he will fall in love again and maybe we'll be able to get back together. Maybe with time I will get bored and I will be healed so I will stop wanting him.. I really love him rn and I cant do what I like for no reason. But yes he told me he would distance himself so we can't play together this week. I know I should move on but I can't.

Don't wait around for a text treat this time as your own fresh start, becoming your best self should be for you, not to win him back & lastly if someone needs space to value you, give them that space permanently. ❤️

my ex asked for "a little space" too, and i spent that whole time hoping he'd come back different. the waiting hurt almost as much as the breakup because my life felt stuck while he figured out what he wanted

Yep the waiting hurts. And I know he lost feelings but I know he still cares about me. what is horrible is that I can't move on

I respect his decision but I still hope he might fall in love again if I become the best version of myself 💔
