How to move on when you still love him

Author

we were together for a year and coming up to two months in the seventh we were so happy but the past kept getting in the way he would constantly bringing this one thing up that I had explained thousands of times he just wouldn't listen. we had a happy relationship until he ended it on Monday because quote on quote "Every time you made me stay up for you or made me feel guilty for talking to my friends or even going on holiday, I was so stressed in wales because every second I wanted to go home because you were unhappy while I was away" he then proceeded to go in a ramble about how he always puts everyone else first and pushes himself to last and all he wants is to get better which I completely understand the thing is I still love him I want him back and I'm so hurt that he ended it but I know I need to let go he hurt me if something went wrong he'd need space which lead to us nearly going separate ways he says he was never happy with me andbi hurt him to often or that I was too much too needy but we always said not to keep anything from others as it causes problems he has something wrong with him where he can't manage stress and instead he breaks down I want to get back with him and he doesn't want that do I take time to heal and see if maybe we can start over or do I completely forget about our chances and stay as friends which we are

love alone couldn’t make someone stay. i kept holding onto the “maybe someday” and it kept me stuck, so i had to give myself distance and stop trying to be their safe place when i was hurting too.

you two became friends after the breakup, do you feel like it’s helping you heal or does it keep the hope alive that he might come back?

I feel like it's keeping the hope alive that he might come back but he's made it very clear that probably won't happen but I feel Alot better knowing I still have him as a friend so in a way both

i loved listed every reason they were unhappy and i kept replaying every moment wondering what i could’ve done differently. it’s such a painful kind of goodbye.
