My now ex boyfriend broke up with me about a week ago, and since then I’ve thought alot about my life and his life. We weren’t having any problems, at least that I knew of, so it took me by a severe shock. He told me several things, and I believe he was telling the truth, as he has never lied to me in the past. He told me that it was the hardest decision he’s ever had to make, and that it had nothing to do with me. I didn’t do anything wrong and that I was amazing. He said that he needed to figure out some things in his life. He didn’t say what those things were, but knowing him and what his life seems like, I have strong thoughts that it was career related, and living situation and not having enough of himself to give a relationship. He does have quite a lot on his plate right now, and he’s struggling a lot with his career. Anyways, after he told me this he reassured me that it wasn’t because he wanted to date someone else, and that he felt guilty for hurting me. He also told me that he did not want me to wait around for him, because he didn’t want to give me false hopes, which after thinking about it I think he told me that because he actually did/does love me. He made it clear that he couldn’t give me the love that I deserved right now. He didn’t verbatim say to date/not date other people or to “move on” because he made it clear he wanted to keep in connection. I asked him if hypothetically we were to meet again in the future, would he be interested in trying again?… His answer was yes, and he didn’t hesitate to answer that. Which makes me think that in the future (obviously not now) we still have a chance as a new couple in a new relationship. I am aware that the old relationship, as it stood is completely over, but I have this strong gut instinct that we will get back together, just later on. Another thing that still confuses me is what happened after we broke up, he asked me the day he broke up with me if it would be too awkward to hug, I said it would be fine. He initiated a hug, that was more like a minute of him holding me tightly with my head on his shoulder… in other words not a “friendly hug” , it was a very passionate yet caring hug and I could tell just by the length of the hug that he didn’t want to let go. Am I wrong in thinking that one day we will get back together?
