    Hello,

    I am currently looking for what steps I need to take. I was dating him for about 4 months. We live in completely different countries (USA, California and England). We’re both still quite young and most people tells me that it wasn’t real and it is not worth it because of this. This is also due to the fact that we never had the opportunity to meet up in person (we already had plans to meet up after school season ends which is in one month). But I know in my heart we have a connection that is hard to find.  He broke up with me because he told me long distance became too hard for him too handle. Furthermore, since the place he lives at is very remote, he has internet friends and had decided to break contacts with them as well. He said that he felt like he was living two separate lives and he felt that he needed to cut off contacts. Recently, he has been put into a large amount of  pressure from work, school, and family, I feel that maybe he was too overcome with stress when he made the decision and that there is still a chance for me to get him back. However, I do not know how to. I am very confused at the moment. He told me he would delete all of his social media after breaking up with me, which he proceeded to do like he said. However, the two days after he put them back up again. All images of me posted on his social media are still up and he still remains on following me. What does this mean? Does it mean he is also scared to break off contacts with me and he is waiting for me to contact me? I manage to not act based on grief and spam him with calls and messages, but I know we still love each other and I am looking for a way to make it successful.

     

    PS: I was thinking about sending him a letter because there were a lot of things that were unsaid due to the fact I was too overcome with grief when he broke up with me.

    Rebecca,

    Your relationship was totally virtual.  I have found from experience that we tend to project onto the other person what we want to see/hear/know.  It is easy to get hooked emotionally.  I find that the day-to-day aspects are key in creating a close relationship for you inevitably bump up against each other’s issues and stuff.  There is no substitute for in-person interaction in order to create a close relationship.  Communication is not just voice.  A relationship is not just sitting in front of our respective computer screens to talk to one another no matter how personal we get.  Human touch and having a face-to-face connection are key ingredients to make a truly intimate relationship.

    Go on and send him a letter.  Best to get things off your chest.  It takes two to make a relationship successful.  Best to leave him be and move on with your life.
