Hi Belle,
I’m sorry you’re hurting…I feel for you, being ditched like this by someone you care about so much sucks.
As much as you want to continue to be there for him, is it worth sacrificing your own happiness and well-being? I think he has shown you that he is unreliable and unfortunately someone who is not really safe to have strong feelings for. Can you really develop a relationship with someone who will randomly disappear like that? It is not fair to yourself.
You know, I think about what you must have gone through in the 2 months he wasn’t talking to you. You got yourself through that time when you probably felt hopeless. And by the end of the two months, I bet you were starting to actually feel some semblance of normal again, right? And then BOOM! he drops back in and does it all.over.again. You do not need that person in your life. You deserve more. I agree with Mari above. I think you may have had a healthy friendship with him at one time, but it’s likely he has outgrown his purpose in your life. Again, you deserve more – someone who has the ability to be there for you and support you just like you do for him.
Good luck, do nice things for yourself 🙂
