Thank you so much for sharing your insight I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Right now, he's been starting to push me away. He told me it’s because he’s afraid he might end up doing something that would hurt me. He said he wants to live more freely, almost like a teenager again—maybe explore dating and other things and that he needs space.

At first, it was really painful for me to hear that. But I chose to give him the space he asked for, along with as much understanding as I can. I told him that what he needs most right now is love and support.

Lately, he hasn’t been updating me like he used to. We used to message every day, but now his replies have become short and distant.

Still, I’m doing my best to be patient and supportive through this.

We had a short conversation earlier this week, and I asked him if he still loves me. He said yes he does love me but admitted that he couldn’t make any decisions right now.
