I had been seeing someone for about four months. He told me he loved me, planned a future with me, told me what a positive influence I am in his life, and how I have changed him for the better. Two months before we met, one of his best friends had committed suicide. I was worried when we first started dating about how fast things were moving, but I fell in love so deeply with him, I figured it must just be fate. A week after the six month anniversary of his friend's death, he pulled away. After two days of minimal texts, I asked him what was wrong. He then proceeded to break up with me over text, take back that he loved me, and told me he needed to make himself happy.
I know what a positive influence I was in his life. I know that everything we had was very real. I am absolutely heartbroken right now. I refuse to text him because I don't want to beg for his love and attention. I am trying to give him his space but I am slowly falling into my own depression now. I need to know if he will come back. When we were together he would have days where he would be so sad, and I would hold him while he cried. I don't understand how he changed his mind about our relationship in a day.
Do I reach out, do I wait, will he even come back...
I am in desperate need of advice.
