I broke up with my bf this last Mercury Retro, and now that it is direct I am missing him somewhat. He suddenly changed 6 months ago, and I wasn't all happy with the relationship, he was becoming more distant as time went on. When I tried to talk with him we didn't get to anything and he was in a mood of not telling me his true feelings. So this past week I was so mad with him and I decided to break up with him, we told some bad stuff to each other, and everything was via text message. He didn't put any resistance while I was breaking up with him, he only said bad things and then we quit talking. I really don't want to talk to him again, If I do so, I will be a doormat. What I expect is that he is the one who talks to me again eventually and make it up to me. I read in a lot of places that breakups during mercury retrograde usually don't last, but I don't think if this will be my case because I won't talk to him again if he doesn't do it first, and he is quite stubborn. If he doesn't then I'll understand that he wasn't really interested in me. Anyways I wasn't happy at all with the relationship, and I have that very clear in my mind. But I kind of miss his presence. OMG Don't break up during mercury retro! IP: Logged |

He sounds like a douche. I'm just curious, did you guys start dating during a mercury retrograde? IP: Logged |

Eh, I wouldn't chalk this up to being Mercury retrogrades fault. I don't even notice when Mercury is retrograde and it's retrograde in my own chart. You weren't happy with the relationship and just happened to break up during a retrograde. We all do things in the heat of the moment.IP: Logged |

Why do you assume that he'll talk to you again? He might be done with the whole thing. I won't talk to him again if he doesn't do it first, and he is quite stubborn.If he doesn't then I'll understand that he wasn't really interested in me. Again, why should you expect HIM to talk to YOU first since it was you who broke up with him? Men aren't mind-readers you know. Sorry but it seems like you're coming from all this from a rather self-centred perspective. Anyways I wasn't happy at all with the relationship, and I have that very clear in my mind.
So there's your answer. You broke up with him for a reason, so just move on. IP: Logged |

I often say little because I have too much to say. I will simply agree with those above me! IP: Logged |

I've done this dance sweetheart.I broke up with someone because I felt like he wasn't putting enough effort in. He didn't resist the break up, I attempt to "repair" things despite the fact that I knew he really needed to put in the work and it turns out he was in love with someone else the whole time. 1. Respect decisions that you make and trust that you made a decision that was right in that moment. 2. Give it some more time before you say you regret it, one of our first responses to change is 'oh no, I can't do it.' Sometimes we make the situation worse because of this response and we devalue ourselves because we stoop down to meet people where they are, as opposed to waiting for people to rise up and meet us. Don't accept behaviour that doesn't feel positive and fulfilling, 3. Ask yourself what you have learned and if you could have done anything differently. Sometimes relationships go, but they teach us to respect ourselves and our instincts; that's a beautiful gift you have been left with and even though it may not feel that way now.. Time will tell. If after giving the situation space and seeing what you have learned, you still regret it... Give him a call. Have your boundaries in place and don't compromise them. But, give him space to miss you and do what is right for you. It's too early, waaaaaaaay to early to make any sudden moves lol. Give yourself time x take care. IP: Logged |

Yeah, I didnt saw it in that perspective. I am being too self centered. Me head has a lot of mixed ideas and feelings right now. I think I am only sexually attracted to him only. If i didnt was happy in the relationship then I made the best choice dumping him. So I have to better move on.IP: Logged |

mercury89 I wrote my earlier response a bit quickly because I had to go out so it probably came across as a bit abrasive. Sorry. Anyway I don't think you're being self-centred as such, but women sometimes test a guy's commitment by dumping them and when it doesn't get the desired result (i.e, them coming back saying they need to "step up") they feel a bit hard done by! What I'm saying is we can't have it both ways, otherwise you just get into that whole "game-playing" scenario which is counter-productive.If he was becoming distant then there are reasons why - whether they have another love interest, or they simply don't want to be in a relationship right now. All I know is the more one tries to "convince" them, the more "resistant" they will become, so it's just best to let them go. IP: Logged |

This is what I assume all the time when guys aren't paying interest..that's how I have avoided a lot of heartbreaks. But I am currently heartbroken for someone that may still be in love with someone else as well...it's best to look at their actions and see that for what is worth.. Wish you the best!! Maybe you can apologize and you two can at least try to become "friends" since you weren't really happy being in a love relationship with him. ------------------ “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

Yeah, probably he started having some other love interest. What makes me angry is that when I used to ask him if he did, he answered me that he hasn't any one else. But mu 6th sense told me something was wrong, and he never made the first step to finish the relationship with me, so I did it first. You know it is difficult to accept that. I don't want to sound selfish but I consider my self to have a nice physical, and I did put a great effort in that relationship also when he started to change with me. It is sad. But I can't do anything else than moving on. IP: Logged |

Yeah, maybe I'll apologize later, not now. He is quite prideful, and the breakup was 8 days ago. IP: Logged |

Why should you apologize? He's the one who made you unhappy. You're not selfish for prioritizing your needs before his. IP: Logged |

He could of had another love interest, or he just is telling the truth; maybe he is quite relaxed about everything. Your 6th sense can sometimes be right, but be extra careful in these situations. Just because you might be attractive or please him physically doesn't make a relationship; physical is at the beginning; you both have to connect someway to make the relationship. However, it is good that you think highly of yourself and put effort into a relationship; move on and find someone better who can match your input! IP: Logged |

If he wasn't making you happy, stick with your decision -- you will value yourself and he will respect you more this way.IP: Logged |
