I also know that things can be fixed. Whether it’s possible on this case or not, who knows. I do need to accept I have to let go. Trying to hold onto this is my hoping to keep trying. I just feel sad like I don’t want to lose him. When I moved here, I had a hard time making friends. I still don’t have any here. Other than my family here, he’s been the closest one to me. I am completely alone without him. It’s hard for me to make friends and connections here. I’ve tried. I guess my being completely alone is why I’m really hanging onto this.
You said you have family where you are? Can you lean on them, visit them and spend more time with family so that you are not so alone?

And what scares you about being alone? Are you worried about falling into a depression if you don't have a boyfriend in your life? Being alone has lots of positives and benefits. It makes one a stronger person, more self aware and self sufficient. These are all wonderful things that only enhance your life, as opposed to detract from it. A toxic relationship steals and robs you of inner peace, true happiness and true satisfaction.
