Heartbreak handhold

[latenightsnack]

I would love to get some support and kind words of advice to move past a break up.
We are both mid 20s, it was long distance for about 7 months until he decided it was too stressful, expensive and difficult to keep it going.

I tried so hard to make it all work but eventually it just went downhill, we went no contact for two months until I reached out about a week ago and we've talked a little but only after I've initiated the texting.

I have deleted his number and as he won't text me first then I guess that's pretty much it. I didn't block the number as that means it would be stored under my "blocked" section and I'd still have access to go be an idiot and unblock it.

I just feel so lead on and horrible about it all, I put all my effort and love into it and it's completely backfired and I'm really struggling with it.

I can't offer much advice, but sorry you are hurting ❤️

Long distance relationships really are make or break, and if it was too hard for him then he is not the one for you, you deserve someone who will climb mountains to be with you!

bunhead34 He did at first show a lot of interest and commitment to trying it and even flew to see me where I'm currently living (12 hour flight) and it was such a good time but then he went back home and said he couldn't do it despite always dismissing my concerns about this happening which he always assured me it wouldn't

We had seen each other a couple of times before this

OP - life is too short. And long distance relationships are very difficult - if they are young relationships and don’t have a clear path to becoming same-place relationship.
You are both young. Time will help the breakup and you both will meet someone local you can have a full relationship with
