I was broken up with last night. Of course it had to be on the last day of my trip too.

It was getting hard to sustain the relationship since the person has so much baggage, leading him to feel constantly depressed and "numb" as he put it. During the trip, there were times he was not very respectful of me, and it hurt. I was nothing but nice to him, so I really did not appreciate him having his moments like that. I truly gave it my all, but there's no saving people from their problems. Then, he confused me about how he "still wants me in his life," but "needs space." We did both cry, although the next day he got annoyed thinking I was making hints at a future relationship, when he was firm with me, but I tried to tell him I don't want a relationship with him either....especially since his problems keep getting worse and he's developed a substance abuse problem and is going through issues with his ex-wife in court. I still have feelings for him, but I'm not reaching out to him anymore. It's not that I won't miss him or that I'll never see him again....but I can't right now. I must heal. My heart is hurting, but I know I'll be okay eventually.
