So I told DP of 2 years I wanted to break up. No DC.
This was 2 weeks ago and he is distraught. He has had to take time off work, he cannot eat or sleep. He won't contact me for a few days and then he'll be constantly phoning and messaging for hours begging me to change my mind. It is horrific to know how much I've hurt him.
I've tried to keep messaging him back minimal. We did speak in person a couple of days after it happened but I have said no to meeting up again as we are unable to talk without being emotional. I have clearly stated my reasons and that essentially I don't love him and as much as this is hurting him it wouldn't be fair to try again. I've suggested that he deletes me from facebook and we cut all contact but that makes him even more upset and he's insisting that we can try to be friends.
I don't know what to do now. Do I take a tough approach and block him on facebook and block his calls/emails? Or do I allow him to do what he thinks he needs to and continue to contact me so that he feels like hes said everything he needs to say? I think I know the answer to this - but is there anything I can say to him that will help?
