He said he just didn’t have "those feelings" anymore.

I know this is a long read, thank you for your patience. We dated for three years. Recently, he had come in contact with a friend he used to be close to. His friend has always had multiple girlfriends at a time and was trying to convince my boyfriend that 3 years was too long to be with the same girl.

We were supposed to get married 2 months from now. We had planned everything out and everything had been great until recently. He was extremely stressed out that we weren’t going to have enough money for the house we needed before the wedding. And then he got laid off. He was already feeling an extreme pressure about the wedding, even though I assured him we could wait until later. We already had enough money, we just didnt have a huge buffer amount. He told me once that he was afraid he didn’t feel for me the way he used to, but we wanted to make it work.

He was so stressed out about a lot of things going on in his life, he decided he wanted to go on a road trip alone and clear his head. I was immediately worried because he had never wanted to go on trips without me, but I didn’t want to seem like I didn’t trust him.

He went on this trip and met a girl. He met her at a hard time in her life and he helped her when she had been abandoned. She kissed him on the cheek in appreciation and he liked it.

He came home the next day and I knew something was wrong. He said that he was sorry, but he didn’t feel the same about me anymore and he had met someone else he had feelings for. We talked about it for a few days while he struggled with what to do. He chose to end things with me.

I was completely devastated. Three days later he said that he still cared about me, he just didnt have those feelings anymore. He wants us to stay best friends because we had been each other’s closest friends for over 6 years. We talked about our feelings. He knows that I am deeply in love with him and I have always loved him unconditionally. He said that he isn’t sure, but he thinks that one day he could fall in love with me again.

We were waiting for marriage, and he and this woman are not having a physical relationship. They simply have a strong connection he felt like he lost with me. He says that he doesn’t want to call me his ex, and that anyone he dates has to be ok with him still being best friends with me.

I know my worth and I know that I deserve to be loved as strongly as I love. I know that there are other good men. But when he and I were together, he was everything I had ever dreamed of in a relationship. Even now as just friends, he treats me incredibly. He says he is unworthy of me because he has a temper and has said and done things he regrets. I believe that I could find another man, but this is the man I want.

I don’t know if there is a chance of getting him back, but I don’t know where to start or what to do. I have read the steps, and honestly, I’m unsure about no contact. I would really appreciate any insight, because I honestly don’t know why he lost his feelings for me. He says it’s all his fault and im a 10/10 and a treasure any man would be lucky to have.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts or insight that could help me. Thank you.
