**I should add that we are both 22, and I just graduated college. Up until everything turned south, he was planning on moving with me wherever I found a job. So needless to say, it feels as if my whole world was just pulled from under me. One minute we were planning our lives together and now all of a sudden we feel like strangers.

And the reason we have not had any contact, is because he refuses to respond any time I have tried to reach out. I have only reached out twice since the breakup, once was to apologize for not giving him the space he wanted earlier. I understand that needing space means no contact, but at the same time I feel he is being disrespectful for someone that once wanted to spend their life with me. Didn’t I mean anything to him? How is he handling this so easily?

I am struggling and I feel like holding on to the hope that he will one day reach out to me is holding back my personal growth. But I am also afraid to let go completely. I am at a loss and need some support.
