Oh dear, it is hard but, sadly, I think once they've begun to have doubts and taken some time away it really means they've made their minds up. They struggle with the decision but know what they want, or rather don't want. We, on the other hand, misunderstand what they say in our hope to be with them and work through issues.
My ex said he wasn't sure, felt confused, depressed and tearful, etc. etc, but missed me and loved me and always would. It turned out he was going out though and at least slept with someone, who knows if it was meaningful. He turned that on its head and blamed me for it - didn't like the guilt maybe. They're messed up so mess us around and it's tough on the receiving end when you love someone and want to help them. Truth is they know their minds, just don't want to be honest about it.
