I was dropped by my boyfriend of 3.5 years and was simply devastated. He asked for space and I didn't hear a word from him for ages, I didn't know if it was just space or if it really was over but his silence spoke volumes. Rather than hounding him as much as I wanted to get in touch I left him to it, of course it was hard, we'd shared so much and he was my best friend, I got on with my life, traveled, focused on me and the moment I really let go and thought "I'm ok on my own, I really am" he wanted to talk so we got together and I told him I wasn't prepared to be treated like that, I wasn't waiting for him and this was it for ME. It took a good month of talking and seeing each other a few times a week to sort some things out. Turned out he really did just need some time to work some things out, and boy did he do that, someone I feared was a commitment-phob has done a complete 180 and keeps talking about our plans for the future! Getting back together DOES happen but only if you don't give up on yourself and truly move on and let go.

I'm on day 19 of NC - the last contact I had with him was an email laying my cards on the table basically saying "do you need more space or is it over for good" and I've had no reply. What makes it hard is that his mother has spoken to him and she now wants to come and see me, she says it is not all doom and gloom - I have no idea what that means. I just want him back - today is a really bad day because I just can't see it happening.

I miss you so much, this still feels like a bad dream. You told your mum that you felt you couldn't give me what I wanted and that you didn't want to string me along... what did you think I wanted?! I was loving what we had, I didn't want the engagement or babies, I would have been fine if we'd never gone down that road I just wanted YOU and the life we had together. if there was anything I could say that could change how you feel I would do it in a heartbeat... I love you with all my heart and I just want us to get back together, we could start afresh... most people get a second chance and we are more than worth it. I miss you so much it hurts, please come back.

Day 36 and I still want him back and he's still on my mind all the time even though I'm keeping busy. He asked for 'space' 36 days ago and I'm still hoping he'll come back.

Congratulations! I wish it had been that easy for me. I do hope I'll be able to post about my second chance.

I think had searched for positive stories but never found this one. Although I'm now at the letting go stage and in NC I am still hoping that he will come back so some of these stories do give me a little hope.

I cannot believe after over three years and your absolute hatred of facebook you decided to change your relationship status and remove our photos from your wall! You continue to amaze me how you are able to totally switch me off and forget about how we actually had something incredibly special. YOU are the one who has lost out.

I miss you so much. I can't believe it's been 28 days since you asked for space... I can only hope that you will see that the grass isn't greener and that what we had was amazing and for you to come back. I miss you and the life we had together. I know my faults, I can see that now so please can we just now work it out? I love you and for me, there is noone else.

Will you ever come back to me? I know what we had was special to you and I know you loved me so why did you have to ask for space? Please come back, I miss you so much and I know you are missing me too. We CAN work it out - I know we can. I love you, please come back to me x

I miss you so much today. Thank you so much for my presents and the presents you bought for my family. Please can we stop this now and just work things out? Please? x

Please come back darling. I miss you so much. You know in your heart it didn't have to come to this, let's work it out, we both know we can. I miss you x

Please come back to me. We can make this work.

I miss you and want you back. Will you ever come back to me after your much needed "space"? You said you'd never break my heart but you have and now you have made me like you, closed to love or letting anyone in. I don't want this, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you.
