LDR b/f broke up with me yet wants to keep me as a friend?

A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My LDR of 4 years broke up with me last night ='(

He got depressed over the past month about how his life is because his friends all seem to know what their doing and where their going and he doesnt. He got totally lost in life, lately he has not been himself and he doesnt seem to care about anything anymore including people.

He came online last night and said we should be friends because he wants to get his life back on track and no longer feels love right now nor does he want or relationships.

Why would he keep me as a friend?

He knows I love him, he knows I want him back and want him to change his mind. He knows I havent fallen out of love with him etc etc etc so why would he want to keep me as a friend and still talk to him regularly when he knows how I feel about him?

Hi- because he wants to keep you as a back stop if his life turns completely to crap - but right now he's thinking that he wants to try meeting someone else closer to him and seeing what happens. Obviously the hassle of sustaining the LDR has done his head in and made him depressed. He has needs that arent being met and he knows through your circumstances that they possibly never will be.

Anyway - you need to decide your next step - I suggest no contact and also starting to accept the this relationship might be over. If he changes his mind, will anything have changed because if it hasnt its likely this will happen again. Go out with your friends and just enjoy being single. Good luck
