Is he coming back?

This might sound like I’m a bit crazy and even immature but basically I met this amazing guy in 2024. He was so good to me in every way. I messed it up and broke up with him but still talked to eachother now and again, in October he wanted to see me again so we did… and then he slowly drifted away told me he couldn’t see me anymore and wasn’t happy with himself. I think im anxious attached or something because I can’t let it go? Anyways he blocked me on everything expect instagram and I’ve requested to follow him a few times he just doesn’t accept it but doesn’t block the account either? Idk it gives me some kind of hope that he might give me another chance. Please don’t be rude to me.

I think I’m struggling so much as genuinely he was very kind and so nice to me which I never had before and struggle to believe I will get again as I haven’t had good experiences before now.

Why did you end it the first time?

Your previous threads OP.
Had assumed you were very young and inexperienced.
You are young, but you are also a mum with a really established career - you are clearly very capable with so much going for you.
You seem to get very angry with posters who don’t fall into line and certainly don’t show the kindness you request for yourself.
The situation with this guy had been going on for a while and you ended it with good reason.
It doesn’t matter if he’s good or nice, he’s not right for you.
I just got an Instagram request from someone I broke up with. Well, it’s the third one as I decline them and he sends another. For now, I don’t want to block him but I will if it keeps on.
You are trying yourself in knots. You have every right to be upset if a relationship ends, even if you ended it. It does hurt.
But you have everything to move forward with. You have time on your side, you are independent, take some time for yourself.
You will meet the right person.

When I get this on fb I leave any from people I don’t want to accept as pending so they can’t request again.

The only person who can do anything about how you are feeling is you. He has made it clear that he is no longer interested by not accepting your requests and has blocked you on everything else. Not blocking you on one piece of social media is not a signal that he might still be interested, he is being an adult and just ignoring your approaches politely. You need to find something else to focus on and recognise he isn’t coming back, no matter how much you wish you had done things differently or said something else won’t change the situation you are in. It sounds tough but only you can change this.
