Good evening!
My boyfriend and I have known each other for 10 years together for 7 months. He broke things off just after NYE because he didn’t feel a “deep love” for me. I was devastated. I thought we had such a good thing, he’s like my soul mate. What also devastated me was the fact my 4y/o DD had taken a big liking to him. I just felt we were made for each other. We stayed in contact though it killed me.
He begged me back about 4 weeks ago saying he wanted to make a go of things and he deeply regretted his decision. He says he loves me but it’s not a deep love and he hopes to get to feeling the same way I do. To not have the same love reciprocated kills me. He sees a future with us, house, children etc. I feel utterly heartbroken to be honest. I commend his honesty but surely you should know this after 7 months? I’m madly in love with him and he can’t guarantee he will be head over heels. (His words) but he wants to give it a good go.
AIBU to expect too much too soon?
