I Have A Boyfriend

I did until yesterday.

He spent a large portion of our relationship unemployed, and I was there to support him emotionally and financially as he was in a really low place. He's been coming out of his rut, but as he did he lost romantic feelings for me. He told me this last night when he broke up with me.

I've been on the fence about being with him for a while as it was hard to be the only support system. But because he was doing better emotionally and started working again I thought we were going to be okay and I was starting to feel optimistic for our future. We've spent 1.5 years together.

I ended up going back to his house to pick up a phone charger I didn't need and we smoked and talked for an hour. I left feeling better but prior I was distraught and emotional

I woke up an hour ago and I haven't been able to stop crying. I kind of want to call off work but as I was laying in bed last night, before I went back to his house, I realize I just don't know what do with myself. I might go back to working ridiculous 60-70 hour weeks because that's what I did before I started dating him. How are you supposed to spend time alone? I want to call him and cry on his shoulder like I did last night but I know he needs time for himself to sort out his emotions. I just don't know who else to go to

I’m very sorry. Try to take some “me” time and emotionally heal. Take care of yourself.
