Will he come back

[chardayze]

Ex broke up with me around 6 weeks ago after our 2 1/2 years together and 6 years of history together. He broke up with me because he "needs to find out who he is and what he wants in life" but that he "hopes we will be together in the future" but he has no idea how long he will need.

 

After he initially broke up with me he kept leading me on telling me how much he loved me, missed me and how much he wanted to see me when he got back from his trip. I thought he wanted to get back together but then I saw him and he told me he was so sorry for leading me on like that but he still can't be with me because he needs to be on his own for a bit. We were each other's first loves and first everything's and it's hard accepting the fact that it's over.

 

Each morning I wake up, the first thing I think of is how we aren't together anymore and all the feelings come pouring in again, how long will this happen for because it just makes me want to go back to sleep and never wake up.

 

From people's experiences, do you think that my ex will try and come back to me? And how long do you think he will need on his own?

 

It's so hard going from speaking to someone everyday to suddenly not speaking at all, how do you get over this?

 

Thank you everyone, would love some advice

mine just came back after 1 year and 2 months. and i deleted the text. recognize that it's over, move on, and find inner strength. you will survive and get through. you will get to the point where when he does come back - and most will - you won't even care. just read the posts on LS for support. we have all been through it at some point and know you'll get through. stay positive and quit giving so much energy to this person. invest in yourself :-)

No I don't think he will come back. Everything he said to you is a cliche in some form . . . it's stuff people say in an attempt to soften the blow. It sounds like he cares about you & hates to be the source of your pain but it's over.
