My boyfriend of nearly a year (friend of much longer) is going through a divorce and is struggling at the moment with the loss of his past life and not living with the kids. He’s asked for some space as he was getting increasingly down and feels he needs to get his head together.
I understand his need for this space, I get it, but I am so bloody hurt and I don’t know how to come back from it? He is very much seeing us as still together (he took my car to the garage for me on Friday and we have 2 events next week he’s still expecting us to goto, still talking about a holiday we are booking etc)
I know it’s not been a super long relationship, but for various reasons it’s been intense from the beginning (probably partly why he needs space?) and I am struggling. I feel let down by him shutting me out, which is probably really unfair, but I don’t know how to not feel that way if that makes sense.
Help me not text him and get my arse through this period please, I feel crap :(
