Do they really come back?

Author

23 days of no contact.. after a block that came from an argument between us.
6 days since he unblocked my messenger silently, still blocked everywhere else.
He left because he was emotionally exhausted (I also was and he had to handle both our exhaustion before he broke down) and he said excuses at the start, then admitted he feels tired n can't handle a relationship responsibility.
I genuinely thought he'll use the block to move on but, the unblock switched things. I know he still loves me and care for me a lot but he said before the block he needed time n space n he is doing it for himself.
I'm also grounding! Discovering myself etc.. but I miss him badly.
How long do u think I should give? How should I act? n if love was genuine and a future was what we both surely wanted, he'll be back right? (he doesn't have otha girls or see otha girls/ppl at all)

i found giving yourself firm boundaries helps. focus on grounding and your own growth first. if it’s meant to be, he’ll come back when he’s ready

my ex needed space too after we burned out emotionally. i kept busy with myself, but yeah… the missing him part never really goes away. 💔

use this time for yourself. he will reach out when he is ready to talk.

@Saroka that’s a great idea. therapy will help you clear your mind. but be consistent. don’t expect everything will change on the first session.
you got this!
