I’m in the same boat.
My boyfriend of 1 year broke up with me 3 weeks ago and basically out of the blue. I’m 25 years old and he’s 32. He’s had successful jobs in the past (also has his masters degree, etc) but a year ago he had moved back home with his parents and got a job bartending at a restaurant which is where we met. I know from the start he was disappointed in himself for having to go back to live with his parents and start bartending again.
Anyways, our relationship for the past year has been incredible. No fighting, our parents loved each other and we talked about our future together right from the start.
A week before we broke up, he got distant and said he needs to figure out his life.
Then he called and said he needed to break up with me because he needed to find a place to live and get his career in line since he was down on himself that he was 32 and bartending. I understand where he’s coming from. He’s the oldest out of his siblings and his siblings have incredible jobs and families, except him.
The past 3 weeks have been intolerable. We work together and he’s more than polite (which confuses me to think we will get back together) and the last week he texted me three days in a row which made things very hard for me. We went to lunch last week and he’s depressed. I know he’s not seeing anyone else, but I told him for my sake I can’t be friends right now. I deleted him from facebook and now I’m regretting everything.
I’m not sure how I should act or what I should do to make things better and make him realize I’m only with him to support him! I haven’t texted him for over a week, and he hasn’t either.
I want him back! Please help.
