I'm 25 and my boyfriend is 23......he left me as well just a few days ago. He says he needs to be alone so he can pursue his goals and dreams.
This has been excrutiating for me but it's getting better. On the days preceding his decision, all he told me was that he needed space but gave no reason. So for a very long 5 days, I waited for him to let me know. My imagination was running wild, let me tell you. Finally, after talking it over with a friend, he finally figured out himself exactly what it was. Now that I know, I kind of understand. My first reaction was to "feel", meaning get the emotions out. Then I calmed down and thought rationally about it.
He's going through something much more substantial than I because not only did he have to sacrifice his relationship, but now he has to figure out his future. I've already been through something similar and had forgotten what it was like. I don't know where you are in this process....if you're still apart from him or if you've reconciled, but hang in there. I keep telling myself that things could be worse. The most important thing is to take of you and all your responsibilities. It has helped me......
