5 months down the drain :/

We didn’t even date… He pursed me FIRST. I guess this is the classic tale of our generation with dating. I feel pathetic. He told me that he likes me, but he didn’t know if he could ever love me. We spent 5 months building a foundation and led me to think that we were going to date eventually. There was no build up as to how he magically woke up one day and decided to end things. It’s only been 4 days but it still feels heavy. I’ve gotten my heart broken so many times in the past and I really thought this was going to be different. I told him this is what I was scared of, and he still managed to string me along. I’m just not sure how to stop expecting a message from him. I blocked him on everything once he ended things with me, out of respect for myself, but he still has my phone number accessible, and I just don’t know if it’s silly to expect him to reach out. Mind you, we had built a routine of talking everyday, hanging out every week, falling asleep every night on the phone together. And in just 4 days my nervous system has just been all over the place. :( I just feel numb and don’t know what to do.

What you feel doesn’t determine who you are as a person, some days will be harder than others, if he said that he didn’t know if he could love you then Its another way of him telling you that he never would, The numbness you feel now, you will overcome! I recommend hanging out with friends, even if you aren’t comfortable with talking about what you are going through, the connection will help bring up your mood!

I totally get that feeling. I was in a relationship for 6 months and it felt like in the end I meant so little to him. My nervous system is so confused and my body doesn’t know how to exist without him. Aside from that I can assure you that it does get better with time and lots of self reflection. I always expect him to reach back out but the reality is, he won’t and that’s ok! I tell myself that I was ok before him, I’ll be ok after him. It sucks and will hurt but this pain can be used for good. I started reading again, started working out for myself and not a man, I hang out with my friends more, and overall I am learning how to be alone before I date again.
