Just let it go. Maybe someday you'll meet again, when you're both ready for this. But it's clearly not gonna work out unless he changes somehow, and you can't make him do that.

How can we help you if we don't even know what happened?

Alright. Well, I had been with my ex for about eight months. He's 20 and I'm 28. The past two months, however, he had started to change as school and problems in the family started to affect him. He became less loving and respectful toward me with no change in sight...

As a result, I thought it would be best if we broke up. Being the weak person I was though, I crawled back to him only to get hurtfully rejected. However, after ignoring him for a while , he decided to talk to me again recently stating that he wants to keep in touch. I apologized for acting selfish and desperate while he apologized for acting cruelly. He said he wasn't interested in a relationship though. I still have feelings for him and wonder if he does too.

I think that basically sums it up.

That's an easy one. Cut him out of your life.

What's consuming me now is the hope that he'll feel for me again after the stress in his life is gone. Not going to happen right?

>>17100350
He just wants to bang you when it's convenient to him

That's not even the problem.
The problem is that he was not loving or respecting you in a relationship.
No amount of stress makes this behavior acceptable.
You think he'll never be stressed again? Yeah right.

>only to get hurtfully rejected
Trust me. This is a recipe for disaster. You'll be hurt far worse if you go back to him.
But you already know that.

You're right. I'm just embodying the case that love is blind by trying to justify his emotionally abusive behavior. He isn't going to change. Thanks for helping me gain some perspective on this.
