Going through a breakup

Hey,

I think I’m just here to vent but I would love to get some advice or words of encouragement.

My boyfriend of 3 years and I broke up 3 days ago and I am finding it incredibly difficult. I am starting to wonder if we made the right decision.

Things had been off for about a month and I was acting distant and cold and he asked me what the issue was, and quite honestly I just felt that we were not connecting romantically and it almost felt like we were just friends having very surface level conversations and talking about the same 2 things in an endless loop.

Despite it being a mutual and civil break, I am starting to think that maybe it wasn’t the right decision and we could’ve maybe made it work. I miss him so much and I find myself thinking that I’d want to get back together in the future but I know I can’t think that way.

He has asked for some space, however I have a bunch of his things at my house and I don’t know when the right time to talk about that would be as I want to be respectful but I feel that I really need to talk to him.
