A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I of 5 years broke up over a week ago and I have been in the dumps since. I cannot eat, sleep or function. All I do is think about him. It was kind of mutual but he texted me the next day asking did I want this because I didn't know what to say? I said no, I didn't want this but I just felt it had to be done since you aren't happy. He kept telling me he wasn't happy and didn't know what to do about us but didn't want to leave me because he loves me so much. I couldn't take it anymore, the thought of just staying with someone who questioned us being together everyday. My parents and him didn't really get along and partially thats my fault and I didn't try to fix it. He said that 90% of it was my parents and 10% was me, of not knowing what to do. We were engaged in the past but I broke it off because I questioned it too but now all I want is to be with him. I emailed him on monday saying I hope you are doing ok and that I miss him and he replied with thanks. I texted him this morning to make sure he got to work ok because it was snowing. he said thanks you too. I'm not sure why he is giving me these short responses. I'm afraid he is trying to move on and we are never going to have a chance again. In one way, I want him to find out what dating other girls is like now because I am a very trustworthy, sweet, and caring girl. He always said I'll never find someone like you. I just don't know what to do....HELP!

Breaking communications completely after a breakup is always the best policy. It is probably the most important thing to know about relationships, seeing as the vast majority of people are going to have more than one in their lives.

i know it is hard. But you gave yourself too little time. Relax a little, start doing what you do - work, pursue your hobby, work out, enjoy time with family, friends. Do what you enjoy to do. Concentrate on your personal success. i don know weight loss maybe, becoming a millionaire, opening small business, maybe hobby that you always wanted to do but never started.

Distract yourself and please do not text him or call him if you are broken up. Give some space to yourself and him. i am sure that time passes and you will be able to examine this situation objective. He will do the same i am sure.

Man are also very unreliable in their feelings. Do know if you give him enough time he will either call you, text you let you know that he exists or move on. Either way you both will understand what your next move should be and what makes you happier be drawn to him or move on.
