Going through a breakup

I’m going through a breakup. My ex broke up with me about a week and a half ago, since he felt emotionally exhausted trying to make me happy in our place so much that he neglected himself and what he wanted to do for himself.

I left our apartment in Ann Arbor pretty suddenly since my parents didn’t want me to be alone over there. They brought me back to Chicago the day of our argument that caused the breakup.

It was super sudden, and I know i shouldn’t have agreed to leave so quickly. I wonder what could’ve been different if I’d had stayed but I think nothing would’ve been.

I’ve attempted no contact but since we have a place and insurance together, I reached out last week and then this week to discuss that but both conversations turned emotional from my end. He engaged, but the second time around, he got tired of talking about it and angry at me.

He says right now, he doesn’t know what he wants to and right now, he’s done with me.

I’m trying to use this as a way to improve myself and show him that I’m doing better, but I can’t help but look at his social media and wonder what he’s doing.

I’m starting no contact again to give him time and space, but I want to get back with him

Sure exes are exes for a reason, but I really am in love with this man and he’s in love with me too. Life just got in the way.

I feel very angry and depressed and I could use some encouragement or tips to get through this to get over him but also to show him what he lost which I know is best through self improvement
