An exchange of texts between my ex bf and I last night went like this:
Me: I am so confused about what we are supposed to be. You are juggling 2 full time jobs and I wish I could be more help to you. I feel so helpless. It's selfish but I think I need time to think about things...
Him: You can find someone so much better than me. I wish I had more time for you but I don't and it sucks.
Me: Thank you but even if the guy I find has more time, he's still not you. I love you. I should have been a more understanding girlfriend. You deserve that.
Him: I gotta be honest. I'm a wreck right now, and a relationship sounds stressful. u are the perfect girl and i know that but right now i just don't know what i can give.
Me: I am not surprised to hear any of that and I appreciate your honesty. Can we still keep in touch and can I still see you sometimes?
Him: lol... of course!
Me: lol...sweet
I want to be a more supportive friend to him. He's even said he doesn't ever want to lose me as a friend even if we don't work out. Should I contact him first after our text exchange or wait for him?
