Hi, so I have a boyfriend or an ex now? He's bipolar, not sure which type, but we've been dating for 2 and a half years. Recently (3 days ago), he broke up with me because he doesn't feel like he has the capacity to care for another person and feels I deserve better. Id also like to mention that leading up to our breakup, he was feeling very unheard, he was trying so so hard to keep us together but I was being difficult because he was being cold, and he was only cold cause he was matching my energy, I was projecting my feelings of being unloved onto him and making it a problem when all he really needed was love and support. I was suffocating him. I know that he loves me very much. It hurt him so badly to end things between us, we cried in eachothers arms and said our goodbyes.
He's been going through a stressful time at the moment, and I fear that he's gone into a depressive episode. He dropped out of his course and broke up with me on the same night.
I really love him, but have I pushed him too far? Should I try and move on? Or should I wait in hopes of him coming back to me? I'd love for us to try again, I really don't want to lose him. I dont mind waiting for him to feel okay with himself first and to build the energy to love back up again. There are things I need to work on, too. He said maybe in the future we can try again, but he doesn't know. He still wants to be friends with me, which makes me feel like he doesn't really want things to have ended deep down. Maybe im just delusional.
I just want him back... do you think it's over? Or can I still fix things?
