Boyfriend said he doesn't love me anymore?
My boyfriend of 2 years told me he doesn’t love me anymore. It was completely out of the blue. We had a very close relationship, were each other’s best friends and even discussed marriage (we’re in our 20’s). On that night he was acting very cold towards me, something which in 2 years was a side I had never seen before. I asked him what was wrong and he blurted out that he didn’t love me, I’m not the girl he wants to marry and that he was confused and didn’t know what to do. He said that he thought we should go on a break, but I was so hurt and shocked at what he’d just said that I told him if he really meant what he’d said then we should just finish it. He agreed. I’m heartbroken and my whole world seems like it’s destroyed. I am still so in love with him and think about him every second of everyday.
3 days after the break up, he sent me a text saying;
“I know you’re gona hate me saying this but I love you and I want you. I’m such a mess right now. All I know is that I’ve hurt you so much and there is something missing inside me – I need you back to make me ok again. But I understand if you never wana speak to me again”
My friends and family have not allowed me to contact him because they said that what he did was so harsh it cannot be forgiven by merely a text, and that if he really meant what he text then he would be making much grander gestures to sort things out with me. He has not contacted me since. I have also heard that he is out drinking with his friends every night, which doesn’t give the impression that he’s missing me.
What should I do?
