I will probably just watch old shows that make me think of my family and good memories- Murder, She Wrote comes to mind.

I'm a pathetic man lol

Lol you fell in love and you are sad now. What is pathetic about that. Just don't make any rush decisions. If he says no contact respect it. You might come off crazy.

It's best to get support from other aries ppl. I'm older so as a cancer not sure what to make of this.

Thanks everyone. I want to give him space. Maybe he will miss me, maybe he will tell me to get lost. But with time I think it will be important.

It’s like you swapped zodiac signs, now you’re the stereotypical Cancer in this relationship.

Really? How so?

Aries Venus hates to lose. I had to turn that mindset around and see that moving on is the best option. To stay and fight only twists in the knife. 😔

Edited to add: I say this knowing he won’t listen.

I would like to move on. My Virgo side is coming out though about analyzing and stepping back to reassess the situation and not be emotional.

when he says you guys should break up coz he's already cheating on you anyway

He said there was no one else. He barely had time or energy for me. He works 6 am to at least 6 pm most days.

People don’t really end up with their first bf. Ijs. The fact that this was the first relationship for both of you meant it was fairly doomed anyways.

You both need to experience a lot more than each other to be good partners.

It’s not failure, it’s growth.

Honestly. It was really inconvenient of him to break up with me now. We had the first discussion before I left for vacation last week and then my birthday is this week.

I won't really be able to enjoy either.

Ok, when will be a good time for him to dump you.

Serious question

Never. But the week of your bf/gf birthday is just unnecessarily cruel.

Are you still withholding sex?

No!

Just take him at his word that he is busy with work. He is a doctor he is dealing with death and illness and that's gotta be depressive and heavy af.

Its a mistake to internalize his moods as your fault. Its an even bigger mistake to make it about you and have him assure you that it's not about you. Not helpful. And probably why he is asking for a break cause he feels guilty his moods are now negatively affecting you.

If you see yourself being with this person long term you need to come up with a strategy to deal with his moods. Give him space, don't take it personally, be ok with not having his full attention.

Hey sorry for the delay. We officially broke up, but I have texted him twice. Once was on my birthday and I drunk texted him. The other was a few nights ago when I asked him how he was doing. He replied both times and we did a little back and forth.

Is there hope or am I being a possessive crazy person?

I like to wait for Valentine’s Day myself.

Sorry but that actually happened.

I got drunk on my birthday and sent him a message. He did tell me happy birthday and hope I'm doing well. We went back and forth a little.

Move on

He’s only replying.

Live your life and some day maybe he will come back and you’re just to happy without him

I don't want to move on. I was doing okay but then this past week I just got super sad about it all again.

Continuing to reach out only makes you look weak. The Cancer I sent walking just texted me after 14 months! He is “too busy” for a real relationship but seems to have time to come over and fuck. Well thanks but no thanks. When you are ready for the real deal lemme know but until then stay gone.

Point I am making? State your terms. You want to accept crumbs? Then go for it. You want a real partner? Then find someone who can be that. People’s actions will tell you everything. Not the words. Go NC, bro. Heal yourself.

Don’t worry about the Cancer. He’ll be back. And maybe you will be so much stronger you won’t even care.

You think he'll come back? I suggested maybe in a month we get together for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. He didn't reply.

I do know he is not seeing anyone. He does not have any time honestly.

Yes he will because that’s what they do.

Stop suggesting shit! Really stop all this. If you keep contacting him you won’t ever know if he will reach out to you. Think of it like a science experiment. See how long it takes. And in the meantime live your life fully as you are meant to do.

Thank you for your honesty. I would take him back, I just need to keep my distance.
