I've been split up from my bf now for about 10 weeks. He split up with me, as he wants to 'figure himself out' and wants to go travelling. We were together for 5 years. He said he doesn't know if it's forever but he knows it's what he wants 'right now' whatever that means. He also hates his job and has no idea where he wants to be in his life.
Every time I bump into him, he gets so upset. And he can't cope with seeing me, I act ok. I'm very strong and never cry but he can't seem to be able to talk to me. I don't understand why he gets so upset when he made this decision.
I confronted him today and he said he's not finding it any easier, and his feelings haven't changed for me and that's why he's finding it hard but it's not enough for us to get back together.
I just need some advice on how to move forward!!! I'm wondering if he's going to regret it, and what to do next. I can't stop holding onto to hope that we'll get back together even if it's a year down the line.
I'm happy with my life in general but this is really bringing me down and my mental health isn't all that good right now because of this. Just need some guidance.
