As mentioned above, my ex and I were on LDR (he is in Europe and I Asia)and I broke up with him in June. I apologised to him after 2 weeks. He didn't reply. After another 30 days NC, I contacted him, he replied. He apologised on his part but also said he couldn't take care of me and someone will. I said I respected his decision. We still sent texts to reach other randomly. And slowly we exchanged our feelings left over towards each other. Then he suggested we go for another holiday somewhere together. I agreed and the date was set in 2nd week Oct. My father suddenly passed away on Wed. As he sent me text asking how I was, I told him my father passed away. He had been closely contacting me giving me support words. I expressed my gratitude to him. Last night he replied me said thanks to my nice words about him, then he said he had been thinking a lot about me and us. Said he had no clue where and how this relationship is called. And that he does know I am a very special friend to him and very close in mind. I replied him suggested we try a new relationship and take it slow. He has not replied. But I regretted I suggested that I think it's premature for it yet. It may just trigger his reactance. What shall I do now? Send him another message to say I understand and let's take time to figure out or just leave it to wait for his reply?

How to Rebuild Your Relationship with Your Cancer Ex
Focus on giving him space and time to process his feelings. Express understanding and patience without pressuring him for immediate commitment. Building trust slowly and respecting his emotional state can help reopen communication and potentially rekindle your relationship.
Thank you Tiziani. You got a good point. Now I am concerned whether he is still up for meeting since I raise the get back topic... Now become need to talk about get back together or not first... Sigh... I was too impulsive

Posted by GracezeeHow long have you been together? In this time how often have you seen each other? Were you ever together before it was a LDR or was it always a LDR?

You've been broken up for a while and have gone through some major trauma You should consider where to best spend your energy at the moment. Going through a death in the family, especially someone so important and trying to sustain a LDR is difficult. If you have not been together a long time it will prove to be too emotionally draining in this situation.
If you want a relationship with him stating it up front is the best policy rather than holding out, which seems to be your alternate course. I would wait for his answer at this point.
Thank you very much Rabidtalker. We knew each other 4 years ago and dated for a few months when he was in my city. We stopped contact after he went back to Europe after that. He contacted me again beginning of this year. He came for a few days and later we went for a holiday together somewhere too.
Thank you brandyp. You are right I was thinking of that too but this morning just hotheaded and suggested that... Now I regret so much... And not sure what to do...

Give it up sweet child. He realized it WAS really a long distance relationship. He probably met someone much, much closer to his country, city/town, etc. You opened up his eyes knowing a long distance relationship really SUCKS! and he will cherish you as his "friend" forever. That's your CLUE right there. He used the word "friend". Good luck a there are plenty of fish in the sea and chalk this up as a learning experience.
🤗 cyber hugs!
Love,

Thank you very much for your heart-warming genuine concern about me. He just replied: My dear, very interesting messages. I can feel your warmth in it. Your words and thoughts about me are actually a bit too much positive but then again: I do love compliments, so I'll cherish them. Guess that chatting over different time zones is a challenge in itself. As a suggestion: focus now on the days ahead of you and know that I am absolutely crazy about you. How to fill in the future, I really have no idea(yet). I am planning my schedule and try to be in your city around 7th Oct and let's pick it up from there. Is this ok?" So it seems to me he is agreeable to try again?

I'm sorry about your father passing. I agree with the posts here on the relationship. Great advice.

I am so sorry for your loss x
Thank you Tiziani, Rabidtalker,Brandyp, Eva,Kissmygrits,and AlaniaB, for your heart-warming kindness and thoughts! Just thought to ask for the relationship advice here but you guys are so willing to give your love and care to a stranger as me. Thank you so much! ! The warmth and gesture will not be forgotten. With love, Grace
