Going to couple's counselling after break up

[statutoryinstrument]

My partner of two years dumped me out of the blue. I was devastated. I vowed to pick myself up, and move on. I went no contact for two months and had started dating a few people casually. However I just felt like I couldn't move on.

I bumped into him in a bar one night, and we went for a long walk. It turns out he can't move on either, but is still not convinced we would work. He says he feels that we can't stay apart but we can't be together either.

We've booked a couple's therapist/counsellor together to see if we can get any clarity on how we both feel.

I know my head says that I need to cut my losses and move on. But my heart says otherwise.

Sounds like he just wants a shag to me.

With no shared assets or children, you really do need to keep away from each other. Time is a great healer.

Can you he together? No.

Thats all you need to know.

Two months isn’t long enough. Feelings of ‘hanging on’ aren’t the type needed to sustain a relationship in the long term.
