My boyfriend of 4 years was acting kinda distant when we were together. Over the phone he sounded in love. Sent me messages throughout the day saying how much he loves me. But in person he wasn’t acting like his usual affectionate self. This was going on for months. Disclaimer: this has nothing to do with cheating. After I confronted him about him being distant he told me that he had no emotions towards me anymore. That he just didn’t know if he still loved me. He said a big part of him wants to be with me, wants a future with me, doesn’t see himself with anyone else or dating in general with someone else but because he doesn’t feel the love towards me anymore he just didn’t know what to do. That it had nothing to do with me that I was the perfect gf. After like 40 minutes he said it was over. He cried like crazy and apologized repeatedly I just hugged him and said it’s ok, that this is what he wanted and if he changes him mind and realizes he does love me then I’ll be waiting, but he said for me not to hold onto that hope. It’s only been a couple days but we still send some funny memes to each other and so far been friendly. Since we did end on good terms. I feel in the back of my mind like I’m waiting and wishing he does realize he loves me and wants me back but deep down I doubt that will ever happen. That truly breaks my heart. I just wanted to get this off my chest and I don’t know honestly. I don’t know what to do. The person I loved doesn’t love me anymore and I have to start moving on with a broken heart. Update:: I told him until I’m ready to proceed as friends I need space and time to get over him completely. I even asked if he could tell me that it’s really over so I can let it sink in. He told me he doesn’t love me anymore and said to stop holding onto hope. Those words didn’t impact me as much as I thought they would when I read them. I suppose that’s a good thing. Now I can begin to pick up the pieces and focus on myself. Thank you for the comments and advice I love you and wish you nothing but the best in life💕
