Hi Guys x

So last night my long distance boyfriend called me to tell me he wants to break up, we were on the phone for nearly two hours with me begging him to let us discuss it over a few days. He kept saying, “I don’t know what to say”, and “it isn’t going to change my decision”. Which really hurts.

We had been together just shy of a year before he moved overseas to study, I visited him a few months ago and literally, we have been great. His thesis work has begun and the past three weeks we have been hardly chatting, I decided that I would give him the space to deal with his stressful work. I myself have had a stressful week, as a resigned from my job and am packing up my life to move to the same country as him. As we had plans to move in together, and now 8 weeks before I land, he dumps me and will not hear of trying to work through it.

I really don’t know how to deal with this.

He has bad anxiety, and it does cause him to become a shell of himself, and he thinks that it’s causing him not to be able to take care of me ( which I’m literally not asking him to as I’m just a busy body prepping to move) and that it is unfair to me to be with him.

This is our first hiccup in our relationship but how can I fight for this? Do I give him space and hope that when I’m in the same city, we try to see what we can do?
