Bad break up. What do I do?

Yesterday, my boyfriend, out of the blue, broke up with me via a text message. Even though we live in the same town,he told me we don't spend enough time together, but he's always so busy that we never get to. He said,"I'm so busy right now,so maybe we should be friends until I'm not." Wtf? Who does that? Oh, and by the way, this was THREE DAYS before our one year anniversary. So, my question is what should I do from here? I'm planning to return some things to him soon. Also, I cried hardcore for hours and so my eyes are really puffy. How can I reduce the swelling?

    The swelling? Get some sleep! Rest a cold and damp cloth on your eyes and take a power nap (20 mins) if you cannot get 8 hours of proper sleep now.

    What should you do? Well I know you are probibly so torn about the WHY!? HOW!? UNFAIR! Yes. It will eat you up alive. If you need time, take it. If not I'm sure you can get your closure in the near future since he opened the door up for a friendship. I do not think you should try with this relationship, because he flat out doesn't care. Almost a year together and he can let you go so easily and nonchalant? Thats stupid. 'Move on', oh how I hate that saying, but you need to really get out there and see what a caring MAN is. He will soon figure out what he has lost.

    If you want to salvage the relationship however, don't allow yourself to be open to the 'friendship' ordeal, you will find yourself stuck. Give him space and time, and maybe he'll turn around, but if I were you - why wait for someone who can do this to you all over again?

    Good luck, and feel better.

    What a jerk! You should be able to work out these problems, it's only the matter of going down to see someone, or a simple text asking how they are. If he's not willing to make that effort, he's not even worth it. But three days before such a big anniversary, that;s just harsh. I'm sorry that you had to go through that hun. If you really want to work this out, talk to him about both of you making more effort to see each other or even just a call. But if not, it's his loss not yours :) Goodluck! x

    Dating Rule: If you like someone, you will MAKE time for them.

    He wanted out and he did it by text, which is not how a real man would do it. Return his things and do NOT remain friends. You are free to go out with any guy you please. No waiting period. But do NOT talk about your ex when you are on a date. Good luck.
