Hi everyone,

I need advice and honest opinions on my situation. My ex boyfriend and I were together for six months in a long distance relationship. His mother died in late November and he stopped responding to my texts for a few days. The only way I even knew she died was because his sister posted about it. When he responded he just said he needed space and time and I said I would give that to him. Two weeks later he posted some normal videos of himself so I reached out to him to talk. We had a short conversation and then he didn't reply for a few days. When he finally did, he broke up with me because he said he doesn't want to be in a relationship right now after his mom. He said I deserved happiness and he doesn't think that it's with him.

Right after i deleted him and his sister from social media to sort out my own feelings. I texted his sister to ask her to take care of him and send love to her family. The next morning he texted me all angry to ask why I did that. He ended up apologizing and saying that it's not that he doesnt love me or want me in his life he just doesn't want a girlfriend right now. I told him I needed time to sort out my feelings and he said okay.

We've texted on and off a few times since. Now he's ignored my last messages to him for about a week. I want him in my life and understand that he's grieving but don't want to let go of the hope that we'll get back together. I miss him so much
