It is unfortunate that this relationship didn't work out. I think that you have been trying very hard to make things work and I really get where you are coming from with wanting him to fight for more, alongside you. I agree that there is a positive spin to things, as you really can start this new year fresh and have shown resolve and courage to make the decision that is ultimately best for you. I also understand the desire to end communication completely and yet have the desire to keep talking immediately after. I have travelled that road before and it has either meant more hurt or has meant the mending of a relationship. I think that it would be healthy to take a specified space of time where you don't talk and think about whether you can pursue friendship, etc. or whether you are making all the effort again (which was a contributor for why you decided that the relationship needed to come to an end in the first place). Even if he feels he is no longer in love with you and expressed that honestly, it is still a very hurtful thing to have said to you and kept from you while still perpetuating something between you, but not making enough of an effort to keep the flame alive. I think he owes you the respect of a little space--he can't just expect to fall back into the pattern of how you were, unless he is willing to contribute, too or you both are willing and ready to change the nature of the relationship to friendship or acquaintanceship. We are all here to talk to, if you have more to say!
It seems uncertain whether you will take part in this forum or not anymore. Regardless of your decision (with the forum), I wanted to say that I have been very thankful for your presence, comments, and friendship. I find the things you say to be truthful and sage and yet also compassionate (a super combination).
Lots of hugs and well-wishes from British Columbia, Canada!Comment
