Hi, heartbroken, welcome to PsychCentral (PC). It's hard when we get pushed away by those we love, my first love did that to me but we can't stay if they don't want us to. They have to want us in their lives for us to be able to help them.

I would work on your own life goals now and maybe in a bit he will get better or have success and come back to wanting you in his life and you can decide at that time if you want to try again with him to have a relationship.
