HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!! I NEED HELP NOW!!!!!?

So I thought that everything was going well with me and my bf. We are in an LDR and everynight that I talked to him, we seemed great. I just recieved an email from him saying that he just had to sell his house, his car, and that his house was broken into a few weeks ago. He thinks that he screwed up and that he wants to let me go because he thinks that he will make things worse for me. He says that he still loves me, but he doesn't have internet access anymore because he is now living back with his parents. He said that it is super hard saying goodbye, but he just doesn't want to hurt me. He thinks that I deserve better. I DON"T WANT TO LOSE HIM! I love him more than anything. PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do, how to get him back. I sent him an email, pouring my heart out to him and that I can't see anyone else in my life but him. I am so scared, alone, upset, lost, and nervous right now. WHAT CAN I DO?!?!?!

Update:

I have not talked to him on a phone yet, we have only stayed in contact through IM. I replyed to him in an email, and I gave him my phone number, and I asked him to call me. He said that his debt caught up to him, so I don't know if he has the money to call. He is 22 and I am 18.

Update 2:

I wish I could go visit him, but he lives in California, and I live in Missouri. We are in a LDR, and have been for 6 months.

Update 3:

I would ask him to move in with me, but I live with my parents too because I am a commuter going to college.

Update 4:

he had to sell his house and his car because he had to pay of debt. that is also why he had to move back with his parents.

Update 5:

Well, this pains me to say, but he just sent me an email saying that he found someone else. :'( Thanks for your advice guys.

    These things happen...it's sad but it is life. there are one of two things that could of happened.

    1. What he said is true.

    2. He just doesn't feel the same about you.

    those are the only two reasons something like this happens. If he truly wants to be with you he will make the effort. You are doing everything you can to stay with him so don't feel bad if things continue to go south. okay?

    Keep your head up.

    Something just doesn't sound right with this story. Why in the world did he have to sell his house and car, and why did he have to move back in with his parents? And why does a break-in at his house have anything to do with moving back in with mom and dad? You've lost me here.

    If he lost his job and can't provide for himself, he would be a typical guy to end the relationship. Men tend to measure their worth in terms of their job / career. He may be feeling pretty worthless right now and doesn't feel he has anything to offer in a relationship right now.

    All you can do is let him know he means more to you than whatever it is that's bringing him down. Things like this happen in almost all relationships. Perhaps he's feeling embarrassed about it. Right now he needs some reassurance from you. This may not lead him to change his mind, but you can let him know you are there for him through this time. Then call the people who are your support system (family? friends?) and seek their support for YOURSELF to get through this time. Best wishes to you.

    This is one of those things that make LDR's hard. Something's out of kilter here, and you'd like to fix it. You didn't say how old you both are, but it sounds like you are not ready to go anywhere with it.

    You don't want to hear this, but it's time to let him go and find someone else.

    Well you shouldn't have told the guy you are crushing over you wanted to go as friends. Just casually ask him to hang out and stuff. Though YOU know what your intentions are, you don't have to hide or cover them by saying things like "as friends." You just don't put anything like that until that exact topic is discussed.

    well if he isn't making that all up then you should insist that you stay together and offer him to stay with you, i assume your old enough to move in together, and save him form his parents house. and if he is making it up i do believe hes just trying to let you done as easy as he could,Evenn if he makes up a long story like that.

    but like i said ask him to move in with you and if you guys loved each other you can get through your bad-situation through better or worst.

    wait...doesn't he have a phone

    do his parents have a phone

    try to call him if you can find a way

    he was only trying to be nice to you but he should have asked what you wanted

    also, you should try to talk this out with friends, be around people or else you won't be able to get your mind off this

  • The best thing to do is first calm yourself. Then you should talk to him and knock some sense into him because you obviously love him more then everything.

    That's all I know honestly.

    Call a friend and talk it out. He is a jerk if he told you this in an email.

    You can't do anything but allow him to come around. To me from what you have said he wants you to tell him that you still want him, but also he has in his head that you don't want him because he doesn't have anything.
