Should I reach out to him?
I know I sent a thread before this haha
I want to message my ex. I don’t know if I was the one that sabotaged the relationship, but I want to help fix the issue. He said he was unmotivated to keep the relationship going and couldn’t provide for me. He said he still likes me but he said I deserve more than what he’s giving me. I feel like it’s my fault because I kept bringing up my insecurities (twice) and my overthinking once - I’ve mistaken my overthinking with not feeling connected to my partner (therefore, I told him that I felt like I couldn’t connect with him and he got mad at me for telling him this because he felt the opposite). He did start to feel distant after this, and I had to ask him if he was okay - he doesn’t initiate serious conversations like this.
And so, I asked for more affection (like words of affirmation because that’s his main love language - but I haven’t been receiving that for a while) and him initiating more plans - but I know that it was hard for him to actually hang out more with me because he was busy and it was difficult to ask his parents so I said I understood if he couldn’t. I initiated more serious conversations - like what his triggers are, etc, because he’s been more passive aggressive with me - so I thought he wasn’t the type to initiate these conversations.
A few days after I initiated those serious conversations, he broke up with me and said all that. I feel like it’s my fault, and I don’t want to look back from the future and regret me sabotaging the relationship and not fixing it. So, is it right for me to message him? It’s been over a week since the break up.
I want to suggest a break rather than a break up. Is it worth reaching out to him like this?
