Looking back at your past relationships, how have you been a shitty boyfriend?

Oh man that sounds really shitty and I’m sorry you’re going through it. Who knows what your boyfriend is thinking? Especially if he’s not communicating. My advice is to give him space. If he’s not replying to your “good morning” texts, stop sending them. If he’s out rekindling old friendships, then call up your girl squad and do the same. Don’t go totally dark, just give him more space. He might notice that he was taking you for granted, and shape up. Or, if he’s doing that asshole thing I did in my 20s, he will turn this new behavior from you into a reason why you’re the bad guy. Now you two can break up and he can still tell himself he was the nice, kindhearted soul and you somehow drifted away with no reason. Gaslighting. Good luck! Breaking up is really painful but time heals all wounds. When the time is right for you, and you meet the person that’s right for you, it’s gonna seem so much easier. Besides, you really need to focus on your exams and your health. Treat yourself like someone else you’re taking care of. That’s what’s gonna pay off for you in the long run.
