Tbh I think I'm not has hurt as I could be which one of the perks of being and overthinker and having trust n abandonment issues... like it didn't really surprise me you know so there's at least that.
Also they broke up with me bc they realised that he did not love me romantically and didn't want relationships (we knew we were both on the aro spec), like being with someone long term spending a lot of of time with the same person, also he's grown more and more averse to physical touch (I think they feel a little awkward that it's something I kinda need, even if ofc i've always respected their boundaries)
Anyway... I didn't really processed all of this shit yet
Like I love him romantically but I also love him in other ways too so i really don't wanna lose them and not have them be part of my life
I still be friends with it even if I'm gonna need to put a little a distance between us right now (especially to come to term with the fact that we're not together anymore) They said they also want me in their life and that they still cherish and are happy about the moments same shared as a couple.
I can say what we had was the best and healthiest romantic relationship I had, but yeah I think I can say we did our best to support eo, be there for eo, and respect eo's boundaries during the relationship and we will continue to do so as friends even if it hurts a lot that our relationship has changed I wouldn't want them to force themselves to be with me
I don't feel as abandoned as I thought I would... I think it's a mix of 'knowing it was probably gonna happen' and 'they're still in my life'
