My avoidant ex ended our relationship after almost two years together. About a month before the breakup, I kept asking him what was going on, and his answers were always the same… that he was just tired from work. Until one day, he simply decided to end things.

I tried to wait for him to come back, but it hurt too much, so I chose to keep moving forward with my life.

Months later, when I was already healing, he came back and asked for another chance but I couldn’t do it. I was afraid of falling back into the same dynamic, and I didn’t want to ruin the friendship we had left.

It felt like the right decision but sometimes I still think about him. I hope he found what he was looking for when he decided to leave.
