Hi everyone, sorry in advance for any mistakes, this is my first time posting and english is not my native language.
About 1,5 week ago broke up with my boyfriend of about 10 months. It didn't reall go great. It was on a call, which in hindsight wasn't a great choice, but I didn't want to lead him on any longer than necessary and figured we'd talk it out the next day when both of us has calmed down. The reason for the break up was mostly because I didn't see a future where we worked, and any time I tried talking about it never went anywhere. He's not a bad guy and was a lovely boyfriend who I loved deeply, he's just not really a talker. He didn't take it well, he didn't see it coming and called me some things over text later, as well as stating that he didn't see the need to talk face to face anymore. I don't blame him for any of that, he was caught of guard and in pain.
For extra context: I'm having a bit of a hard time with all this, because while I'm pretty sure breaking up was the right choice, it's still hurts. I miss him as a person and I'm sad I don't speak to him anymore. He didn't delete me on any social media or block my number. I'm not sure how he's doing.
My question is as following: I still have some of his stuff, and I don't want to throw it out without giving him the chance to take it back. How long would be proper to wait before texting him regarding this? I don't want to hurt him or me more than necessary by bothering him too soon, but it's been nagging at my mind too.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
