Re: He fell out of love with me

You're not being selfish, your boyfriend is. He doesn't want the responsibility of a monogamous relationship, but he still wants you to stick around and not make a scene or make him feel bad about dumping you. Bolded because it's important. Your ex very much wants to avoid feeling like the bad guy he is, that's why he saying these things to you and making vague excuses.

Of course you feel sick and alone. You're questioning how much of your life with this guy was a lie or an illusion, and how someone can possibly change their minds overnight. The problem is, he didn't change his mind overnight. Trust me, he's felt this way for a while now, and all that stuff about spending the rest of your lives together was (at best) your boyfriend lying to himself or (at worst) misleading you.

Do yourself a favor and cut contact completely. Don't try to be friends or be the "cool ex girlfriend", not right now at least. Give yourself a lot of time and space from this guy. Call your friends. Let yourself grieve a little each day, but don't let yourself wallow in it for hours on end. Find things to occupy your time, and take care of yourself: eat well, don't drink to excess, get plenty of sleep, watch some comfort movies/tv, eat some comfort food, hang out with people who truly care about you. It will take time-- much more time than you think, to get past this, but you will, I promise you.

And remember: friends don't treat friends this way. Your ex was a bad boyfriend, and he won't be ag good friend to you, either. Trying to hold on to someone who let go of you a long time ago will only break your heart and make sure it stays broken. You deserve so much better than this.
