I was in a relationship for 3 years – it was the first relationship I was in. The relationship ended because he pulled away and stopped communicating. Due to other circumstances, I had to move back to help care for my elderly grandparents. He contacted me 2 months after we broke up with an apology, explanation, and a desire to repair the relationship. We have been repairing the relationship for a year and nothing has really morphed except that I have my best friend back. In our initial “reconciling” he stated that he did want to get back together if I was open to it. At the time I wasn’t certain, but said I was open to it in the future. However, he won’t open up when I bring the subject up.
I don’t want to be hung up on this person forever when he obviously doesn’t see me as anything but a friend. But how do I get over him? Time isn’t working; I’m still very much in love with him.
