Dear Lily,

My ex and I broke up recently in very similar circumstances. We moved to a new city with no network. My ex lost her job and her self worth was shot. In the end, she said it was all about how she was feeling and decided she needed the space to find herself.

I know you are going through ups and downs with yr bf but my recommendation is to discuss how you can have that time apart so you can work on yourself. You have to heal from your resentment and you also need time to grow.

It’s actually the best thing for him too. It will allow him to grow and if it’s right, you will come back together in a new space that is healthy and more conducive to growing together.

I hope you find peace which ever decision you make.
