My ex boyfriend decided to breakup with me out of the blue after a 2 year relationship. He has pretty severe anxiety and even admitted depression after the breakup. It came abruptly, 1 day full of "i love you's" and the next "i need to be alone". Ive read oodles online and spoken to many and I know the basics..take care of myself first, make myself happy, move on blah blah blah. It's been 3 months since the breakup and Im still a mess. I was very happy in our relationship and we spoke of more or less extended future plans like children, etc. I love him so much. He refuses to get help/therapy and keeps insisting he needs to go if and when he is ready (and yes, I understand it needs to be when he is ready). I know this isnt him and he has allowed his anxiety to fully consume him. He's sadly not himself anymore. I guess feel free to share similar stories and the outcomes or advice on how to handle this better. I really do want to give him the time to work on himself but it kills me every minute that we're apart. My main question for this post is: has anyone experienced this and had a successful relationship after it all? I cant seem to find much success stories after these kind of break ups online.
