Just need some advice

rylee

So last night, my boyfriend broke up with me. We both got quarantined on the 9th. His got extended till the 25th. He said he he wants to work on himself and fix things within himself before he gets into a serious relationship. We were together for only 6 months. He was my best friend before, and he wants to stay that way. and he wants to still talk and he said eventually we can try to work on a relationship when we are both ready. I mean, there's things I want to work on as well. When we first got together he was telling me all about how he wanted to play soccer in his future and maybe go to college a little. But he never got around to starting any of that. We both are still so young.He also promised me that there was no one else. Which I believe with all my heart because he will never promise anything unless he means it. He said he still loves me but that he just wants to be happy with himself. And I know trying to keep somebody else happy while you are personally struggling is hard. So it's not like we broke up because there were any problems. We didn't have any. We work amazing as a couple. I was talking to one of our mutual friends about it and he has no doubt in his mind that we will end up together again. I have high hopes about it as long as I do what I need to do as well, and I don't force the relationship and I just let it come naturally like it did the first time. I guess I just don't know where to start? Everything is still the same between us, we just aren't labelling it. and I don't know why that's so hard. Any advice helps. How to deal with the breakup, any opinions on getting back together, anything. I’m really struggling right now.
