Why am i so tempted to break no contact?

Author

I had been texting a guy from another country for a month and we ended things 9 days ago. We stopped talking because he didn’t get the permit to visit me. Basically we stopped talking because he was too busy handing stuff with the permit. He said he didn’t have the energy for me. Another reason is that he was afraid of hurting me if we were to continue doing long distance. I still hold it against him because he gave up on me.We could have at least tried and he just left when things got difficult for him.Today I wanted to reach out so badly because I miss talking to him.Deep down I know I need to move on and I would be losing self respect by texting him but I miss him.

he said he didn’t have the energy for you, did he explain what he needed or did it feel like he just disappeared when things got complicated?

He just disappeared. He said it’s best we stop talking because he is too busy.

missing someone who walked away when life got hard, and i kept replaying all the ways we could’ve tried harder. that feeling of “why did you give up on us?” stayed with me for a long time

don't. he told you himself that he doesn't have energy for you. so don't waste your energy on him, you deserve way better

@SleepyFairy the longest the no contact, the best you'll feel :) the beginning is always the hardest part
