We weren’t talking for long but I gained a strong attachment because of my anxiety the breakup was because she is going through a lot mentally not because she doesn’t like me or want me but because she can’t mentally be that for me. We decided to be friends as there is no bad blood at all. I’m just hoping sometime in the future we find our way back. Replies are very welcomed as I’m not sure on how to handle all this
My ex told me he needs a space. Basically he meant I am little bored from you and want to explore myself. It doesn’t mean cheating always but thats the first sign to step back. Because I have seen people making things work out if they have feelings for you. It’s harsh but time to accept the truth. She doesn’t love you anymore.
I am so sorry you’re going through this. Even if there’s no bad blood, you might benefit from taking some space from each other before you transition into friendship (even just a few weeks can help). I’ve been in similar situations & I’ve found that being so close to them while going through the breakup made it harder to heal. One piece of advice I heard is “friends tell each other when they’re dating someone, so if you don’t feel ready to hear about them dating, you might not be ready for a friendship.” I have found that with time I’ve been able to be close friends with people I’ve dated without all of the big feelings. Whatever you decide to do, you are so strong & you’ve got this!
