mattyw Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Hey Thought I would share my story and try to get some advice. I'm going through a pretty rotten time. 2 weeks ago my partner broke up with me, I was heartbroken as I imagined us being together forever. We lived together, it was his flat. I had to move out, my choice, immediately. The reasons I had been given was that "it doesn't work" and he wishes it did. He told me he loved me still and said he could be making the biggest mistake if his life. It left me destroyed, I had been 100% committed to the relationship and loved every day I spent with him. He was my rock and saw me through some bad times. Since the breakup I went into NC, however I still need to arrange to get my things. He emailed last weekend and said his heart is breaking, he loved living with me, and that he is dreading me leaving. He said the whole thing gas been harder than he thought. He said I was so special to him and would love to be friends. I replied quite factually about arranging to pick my things up and told him I was sad and needed time. We had some email conversations yesterday as I have found a flat and need to get the rest of my things. He told me he's finding it bewildering and misses me a lot whilst also sticking to his guns he wants me to be happy and be friends. We have so many mutual friends, and had a great life together. I still love him, and wish things could work again. I think he doubts hid decision but is so headstrong that there is no going back. Is it wise to try and cling onto the hope we could be friends? I've respected his decision but can't stop thinking about what I've lost... I'm 31 and never been through this before (neither has he) and it just feels so painful.
