Rilla Donald2 months agoI (27F) recently ended a 4-month relationship with my ex-boyfriend (28M) because of his ongoing dishonesty. The final straw was when he lied about something that really hurt me. Before breaking up, he begged me to stay, and even a few days after the breakup, he asked for a second chance. After some time apart and space to process everything, I took the time to reflect on the relationship and the possibility of working things out. I realized that, despite the hurt, I was open to the idea of us fixing things and being more honest with each other, without judgment. I decided to reach out a month after the breakup to see if there was a chance for reconciliation. His response caught me off guard. He said that since we’ve been in contact since the breakup, it would be better for us to stop communicating for a while before discussing things further. He also mentioned he was busy and wasn’t in the right place emotionally to consider getting back together. I’m feeling really confused because, during the relationship, he was the one who wanted a second chance, told me he loved me, and said he’d do anything to make things right. Now that I’ve reached out and am willing to give him another chance, he’s distancing himself. I’m hurt and unsure about what to do next. I feel uncertain about whether he’ll ever reach out again.116
