Give him the opportunity to change by keeping your distance. Maybe he was going through a tough time in his life or he had underlying issues he needed to face like me. If you still want to be with him in the future, go for it. But understand time is beneficial for the both of you, and you’ll both be different people. Don’t be stagnant or feel emotionally trapped with this person. Live your life, because there are so many good people out there. Time will help you understand him more, and decide if you would want him back in your life. Or it will help you forget.

The good parts of me are still there, but I let the bad parts change me. So I’m focusing on getting myself back and becoming even better. Stay strong and focus on your needs. We’re all human, and we are all still learning life.
