Like the title states. My boyfriend and I were more than fine. When we met each other we were head over heels and I told everyone I knew that I met the person I was gonna marry and it was the first time I've ever felt that way for anyone. We were together for 3 months, but one day he did a complete 180, he said he wasn't over his ex, and that he fell out of love with me. He knew his ex for 4 years as a friend and they dated for 4 months. I've been trying to make it work, in fact I've been trying to make it work 2 months after our 3 month relationship. I have a lot of patience, but I get easily depressed, too, and this whole situation has made me suicidal for so long. I get migraines, my chest hurts, and I want to throw up from the sadness all the time. He says he can't do anything about his feelings. He's emotionally unavailable and it sucks that I had to figure that out with him, he says. It disgusts him to do anything romantic or lovey dovey with someone who is not his ex, he says. He told me it's either we end it all or become friends with benefits. I don't want to let him go, so of course I chose the latter. But it feels objectifying, and I want to love him so much. I don't know what to do.

  1. A few things:

    – he is only the love of your life because that’s what you have chosen to make him in your head. Look at your comments on reddit where you were sharing heartache about your previous relationship. You got over that, you’ll get over this.

    – friends with benefits while you have feelings will only hurt you.

    – please just get out and process this, the longer this goes on, the more you will be hurt

  2. Let him go. Friends with benefits won’t end well because you already caught feelings. Time to wrap it up. It’ll suck for a bit, but it won’t last forever.

  3. Wait, so you’ve been together 5 months? That’s not the love of your life, you barely know each other
