Recently broke up with my boyfriend.
I recently broke up with my boyfriend. We liked each other a lot and cared a lot about each other. We’re both realistic and anytime we had an argument we would just leave it for a couple of day and air our heads then come back to it. Recently though he and I would not be able to see each other as often. In fact we would only see each other maybe a couple of hours a week. Most of our relationship happened over texting because, well, we both have sensitive jobs and school and we learned to prioritize and make do with what time we got with each other if any.
We both felt really neglected. I couldn’t handle him not being able to come see me when I wanted him to and he couldn’t handle all the nagging I did about the amount of stress I had at work. So we couldn’t handle the tiny recurring arguments about the same thing and mutually decided one day to just break up and go back to being friends. And that worked out great! I took responsibility of pushing him to the edge for the break up and he told me that he still cared about me! Very much! And he told me that he knew that it was for the best! We basically handled it really well! No heart breaks, no tears nothing!
Until one day we were texting each other and we had another argument! I told him that he was being too critical and treating me too much like he has a right over me and he didn’t have such a right! And he got mad at me telling me that he can’t believe I still think that and after this he can’t even be friends with me! Then I realized I that may have gone overboard and apologized but he still told me he just didn’t see why I needed him in my life. He told me he thought I’m better off without him. He has never just broken off a friendship like that! I was the first one.
Should I text him and try to reconcile our friendship? Or should I just let him go...
