My bf of 2 years broke up with my abruptly 9 months ago. He suffers from severe anxiety. He approached me one day saying "i need to be alone. I cant be with you anymore". Just a day before and in recent weeks/months he was full of "I Love You's" and bragging to friends and coworkers how amazing I was(theyve told me so). It wasnt going downhill and it was very unexpected. He has continued to push me away out of his life. He now says we will never be together; Im convinced he says and does his semi-cruel actions and words to push me away and I believe he wants me to just be angry and leave. I've read lots on this subject online about people with anxiety "falling out of love". I didn't fall out of love which makes it incredibly difficult. Has anyone been either rolls in this relationship and how did it pan out in the long run? I've read some advice that just says to move on but thats easier said than done. We were well on the path of a life together..forever. I havent read anything saying relationships ever rekindled and Im just wondering if they ever do. I dont want to give up on him but after 9 months of being pushed away it's becoming incredibly difficult to be patient on the matter. Please help. Even after 9 months I cry daily and struggle to sleep most nights. I know every relationship is situational but Im just curious if it has ever come back or if after they fall out of love it is gone forever. I asked him recently if he still loves me and he simply replied with "i still care about you but not sure what level of love you are asking for". I know his current state(and past 9 months) he has been emotionally numb and I understand that. Im just wondering if those with anxiety ever 'snap out of it' so to speak and go back to the relationship that was great and once made them happy ![]()
Probably not emmy. If you feel you cant get over it maybe you should seek counselling to help you. Your relationship should be equal, mutual caring for each other. Not healthy to hold on to someone who let go. Yes having an anxiety changes a person forver, it does but i inow when i love someone and when i dont. He is trying to honest and its like you are stuck in the past. Not good for you at all.
Thanks for the responds Lisa. Im guessing you are the one who suffers from anxiety in your situation? I like hearing from all perspectives of course. It's just so hard to wrap my head around the man who moments before breakup was bragging about how amazing I am and how much he loves me to people and talks of having children and a life with me and such one day to the next wanting nothing to do with me.
