It was really hard on me, and as cliche as it is, time helps. I set some goals to work on, and saw friends. I literally feel like my soul is destroyed and my heart was pulled out. 💔 I am confused if to walk to away and deal with my pain every day or to keep trying and if I ever get the opportunity again to be with him ,find professional help for both of us immediately.

Except he never came back and hasn’t communicated with me through texts or calls at all. I am so sorry to see everyone going through this.

The last three months he has been saying he is working at getting back here. I told him he would have to get his own place for a little while as I didn’t want him moving in with me right away. He has been saying that for 3 months now. He has made little effort to come see me or make the move yet insists he loves me she wants to be here. And every other week he disappears for days and then calls me and gives me some lame excuse as to why.

As you get to know people you may find you and them are only suited for each other short term. I always encourage the women I coach to take their time to evaluate a match before seeing them exclusively.
