No contact yes or no

[Dazed2020]

My boyfriend broke up two days ago with me after almost a year. The break up wasn’t wanted by either of us but he chose that option because of other huge commitments on his life that were making it impossible to see me enough. There are changes that could be made and compromises but he hasn’t put these into place. He’s asked to be friends and keep in touch, says he loved me and wants a future and hinted he may be apologising in the future and begging me to try again. I’ve no idea what to do. I can’t be his friend, I love this man so much and being downgraded is killing me. I miss him so much already and know that if we had a friendship only, I’d be constantly getting my hopes up every time we spoke.

Does non contact work?

Dear dear Dazed. Brain surgeons and presidents manage to juggle commitments AND a relationship. With kindness, wake up luv. He's either trying someone else on for size or hoping someone better will come along, meanwhile, he'd live to keep you dangling and waiting as Plan B. Love yourself and respect yourself enough to not be "almost" enough for someone. For someone else, you will be his world. Cut your ties, cry your tears, and go find that other guy that appreciates you. This guy? Unless he's singlehandedly running the universe, he's just not that into you. Chin up, eyes forward, move on with your dignity.
