writes: My boyfriend, of 2 yrs, and I broke up about 10 days ago because he realized he is not ready for marriage. His job is relocating him to another state in about 3 months. He's thinking of our break-up as possibly being temporary because he may realize he does want to get married by the time he moves. I think of our break up as permanent with no getting back together. For my sanity's sake, I would feel the need to break all ties just to move on. He said he needs space to not feel pressured into marriage and decide what he wants to do. Am I wrong for feeling like I'm being put on hold even though he says I should move on with the chance of getting back together later? I want to give him space, but not at my emotional expense.

 Move on and explore new things and people. He's giving you the green light to do so(as if you need his permission). I think that you should go on with your life. Don't be put on hold, holding on to hope that only you have. Put simply, I've been there and your emotional strain will eat you up. Cry now and be done. Move on and be happy in the long run.
