Should I text him?

[moondust11]

Me an bf broken up he was saying he is having mental health issues never felt this low doesn't know what's up with him. We went back and forth an in the end he was quite blunt saying give me space to sort myself out so we aren't together but I find myself worrying about him and how he's doing mentally he isn't the type to open up to many.
Should I leave him or should I drop a message? I'm torn I don't want to seem needy, desperate when he doesn't want the relationship and hasn't reached out.
Thanks

Probably give him space at the moment, as he's requested. When was the last time you texted him?

No, you've split up.

Please just respect his needs. Do not reach out

No don’t contact him. I understand you’re worried but there is always the chance he is over-egging what he’s saying so it’s good leverage to end the relationship.

Look after yourself now OP, don’t try to look after him anymore

Wouldn't surprise me if the mental health issues is just an excuse he's using to end the relationship, potentially too cowardly to end it for other reasons. I've heard of it happening a couple of times, just as people often meet someone else, get their head turned and suddenly the narrative in their current relationship is "we've not been happy for ages."

He treated me quite badly too so I don't know why I'm so concerned when he clearly doesn't care! Classic tinder man I think 😞

I suspect he'll be waiting for you to chase after him for the ego boost. Cut your losses now and delete his number.

I wouldn't.

You need to examine why you care when he treated you poorly. You should be glad you’re set free.

Leave him to it

No. Dont txt him. Move on.

Distract yourself.

Hes treated you badly and you have broken up.

Dont act desperate.

No, no text.

He treated you badly. He has decided that what is best for his MH is a break from you, let him look after himself.
I agree that the MH business is an excuse anyway. Don’t most people having difficulties value support from people who are close?

Move on, head high, eyes forwards.

You should move on, delete his number. He’s asked you to leave him be, if you respect him you will do as he asks.

he was quite blunt saying give me space to sort myself out so we aren't together

He's told you to leave him alone. He told you the relationship is over. You admit he said it bluntly. What does he need to say to get you to go away? If you keep contacting him it's bordering on harassment. Just stop!

He's asked you to give him space so leave him be.

It is very important when he asks for 'space' you give him that. Or else you are pushing him further away.
If you ever want to even have a remote chance of 'getting back with him' you have to respect the no contact period. Give him time to miss you and realise whatever his depression came from is not you as the stem of it. But he needs to realise that himself. There's nothing you can do MORE, show MORE care etc to make him love you.
It's hard to not contact but really do it for yourself.

Thanks everyone you've stopped me making a fool of myself 😂

Good! 😊

Well done you. Why don't you treat yourself today? Or meet up with some friends. Go have some fun!

Well done OP, now block and delete.
