So my boyfriend of three years and four months broke up with me?

He broke up with me today and said he just didn't want a relationship anymore that he wanted to be single. I asked if it was because of other girls and he said no that he just wanted to be single that he still wanted to be friends with me and talk and text and maybe even hang out every once in a while. Some people say he will change his mind once he realizes being single isn't what its made up to be..WHats your opinion..should I just try to move on or should I hope he changes his mind. I love him more than anything and I'm so hurt I can't take it.

    Just wait for him and don't stop loving him. I believe that he still loves you much but for now he needs to be himseft for a while.. Just wait for the day he comes back. Hopes.

    I broke up with my ex a while ago. She cheated on me. She wants me back, but she doesn't seem she's the one for me anymore. :'(

    It is very upsetting to see someone change into something you have no idea, what it is.

    I say, you should hope he does come back, because it is likely... 3 years and four months was a long time. Be aware, a relationship lasts up to 3 years. Later, it's more of a "You do your thing, I do my thing." The 3 years was usually limerick behavior relationship. Which is always "I love you! I wanna be with you everyday!" and wanting to be with that person right when you woke up.

    My ex and I hung out EVERYDAY for like a year lol. Missed a couple days.

    She's coming back once she started to realize cheating was bad. Someone kissed her, then later dated. Then found someone across the country, dated him for a month, and now single.

    Anyhow, I think he will come back. Don't beg him to come back. I'm not sure if it will increase or lessen the likeliness of him coming back. :P

    If you maybe act like you're happy, OR just be happy, and he will come back faster I think. The worse is when my ex acts happy lol. Then I want her to come back and come over and talk and stuff.

    Just be happy. :) Post smiley faces on Facebook, take smiling pictures, etc.

    Good luck! Message me if you need anything else!

    A lot of these people are saying let go. It is that answer, it is correct - however, give him some time. Many people do NOT know that this always happens when you're young. It is the next step to a long-term relationship. Don't hang on him, but also don't forget him. These girls are saying, "Let him go!" - which some of the answers are practically saying "Forget him!"

    Just give him time to come back. Do what I said. :)

    Also, the first person is correct. Don't wait for an infinite amount of time. My ex is, as well as I'm waiting for her too. IT's off and on with each other. lol.

    If he doesn't show anything lately, then move on and find someone else to be happy with. Remember, stay happy. He will not like seeing you happy with someone else.

    ALSO, do NOT play someone and date them just to get your ex jealous. Don't, that's bad. lol.

    Maybe make a friend, that is a guy? He will get his *** up right away when he knows you may date someone else. He will straighten up right away. He knows if he doesn't act now, someone will steal you. Trust me, you will probably get back together. But, maybe not. There are a lot of other people.

    Yeah, you've heard that many times. But, I think of it like this.

    There is a girl in this world. Brown hair. Blue eyes. Not skinny, but not too heavy. (I don't attend offend anyone. I dated a really big girl once. She was very nice.)

    Someone is looking for a guy like me. A guy that doesn't have girl friends. A guy that is VERY loyal. A guy that doesn't talk to girls when dating a girlfriend. If one were to say hi, I'd say hi back, though)

    Someone is looking for you out there. That someone will find you.

    Lemme break it down what he means by he wants to be single. Living a life where he doesnt have to give 100% of himself to somebody else. Letting somebody go is the best thing a lover can do, and if he comes back then its whats to be. After all, single life has its own freedom.

    Meanwhile, though forgetting somebody is hard, use this as an advantage and do **** you never could do like clubbin or late night drinking idunno. Read a good book to change your perspective, find a game or just hang with friends. Give yourself time cz you gonna need a lot of it. Live for yourself nobody else.

    he moved on from you so all you have to do is move on from him. if you guys are ment to be things may work their way out in the future but you guys might not be the ones for each other so move on. it is hard and definitely takes time but from my experience hanging out with other guys helps you get over your last boyfriend REAL quick :) good luck.

    I think you should just let it go. It wouldn't be fair for you to wait for an infinite amount of time until he makes up his mind on what he wants. Do give it some time, a month or so before letting go.

    Either he really wants to be single, or he wants to find another girl more suitable to his ideal. Regardless, he's just not that into you. Please use this time to get your groove back, improve yourself, and focus on your own future. Let him go, cut off contact, forget him.
