relationships & contentment

I feel frustrated yet comforted. Like I made the right decision even though it has consequences. I ended things with a guy a month ago, and I’ve been reconnecting here and there, because I miss him. I feel it was a good decision for his well being, and that helps me feel secure in it. I just hope one day we can get together and be friendly again, I tried recently but he said it’s too soon

    I appreciate the respect you shared for his space. Tough to be broken up and then have non-relationship contact. Do you find yourself going back to him becasue you want him or more because it easy or familiar or comfortable? What is he like when you talk to him?

    It just takes time. When we started dating it felt like he was searching for something, something I couldn’t give him perhaps. The intimacy felt kinda forced. He said he has troubles loving himself. I wanted and tried to be there but in the end just realized we were both too confused because I’m the type of person who needs things to go slower. He didn’t necessarily do anything wrong and looking back, he put a lot of effort in, it just didnt work
