My partner of 2 years has just ended our relationship due to us arguing, he says he still loves me and always will but has made the right decision, how do I start again, why do I feel so bad and how do I stop myself from texting him or staring at my phone.

Ive been through this recently, and it seems to be with men you are better off leaving them be. If he wants you back and misses you he will come running. You start texting and begging you will only end up feeling very bad about yourself. Ive found the only way is to seriously occupy myself so that i dont keep looking at the phone. Go out with friends, work over time, take up a hobby, anything so that your not constantly bombarded with the fact your alone, and thats it. Good luck!

AskEve agony auntIt's always hard when you break up with someone, especially when it's someone you've been with for a some time. The best way NOT to text him is to put your phone in a drawer but of course you won't do that will you... in case HE texts you back.

You have to decide first of all is he worth fighting for? Then ask yourself... Do you think he's right? Do you too want to end it? Do you think it's run its course and it's not time to move on? If the answer to these questions is YES then don't text him back. I would give him some space to think about what he's said. DON'T TEXT HIM!!!!

Lots of women make this mistake, they start bombarding their partner with texts saying they're sorry, getting all emotional then eventually saying things they regret, when all the partner wants is some time out to sit and think about the situation. Let him miss you... give him that time alone to sort his head out.

If he gets back in touch with you then take it from there but until then I would leave your phone well alone!
