My ex boyfriend and I have known and liked each other for years, we broke up about half a year ago and since then have been "just friends". However I still had feelings for him and so I confronted him recently and he said his feelings also haven't changed.
Right now he is under a lot of stress from his family because a lot has happened since our break up. I told him I didn't want to keep going back and forth and keep on guessing and doubting. I gave him two possibilities, either there's something left and we build up on it, or we let it go and move on, because we've spent so much time with this.
He said even though he still has strong feelings for me, he feels he isn't able to "take care of me" when he "can't even take care of himself".
He is going through so much and I just wish I could help him.. but he says he doesn't want to hurt me again and that its hard for him to think he might hurt me more if we got back into a relationship. So he chose to let me go. Even though he said he knew this was a "stupid choice" but because of the circumstances it was what had to happen..
I don't know what I should do now. Should I move on? And if so, how do I go about it? I don't want him to finally come around, and find that I'm not around for him anymore.
Please give me any adivce.. sorry about the long post.
