OliaS what Manders said, “…all friendships aren’t meant to be and all relationships aren’t permanent…” is spot on. I want to share a poem with you that a woman named Veronica A. Shoffstall wrote in 1971…

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure you really are strong you really do have worth and you learn and you learn with every goodbye, you learn…

You said, “I’m not sure what to do.” With so much going on between you two, space and patience is paramount. Let it run its’ course but keep your fingers on that pulse.

Please do let us know how you are doing.
