any advice? ex bf (3 yr) says he sees a future w/ me, but not now. he also says he doesn’t want me to wait for him, but i feel like him saying that shows commitment (from both of us bc i still want him lol) despite being broken up. how do i go about this?

But why not right now? Like whats the problem with right now that he can’t be in a relationship with you?

live in today. if it's meant to be you'll find each other later. in the meantime find people (romantic and platonic) who want you in their life *now* not later

he said he wants to explore who he is and not have anything “holding him back”. he loved everything our relationship offered, but it wasnt giving him room to explore himself

I say this with love, but do not wait for that guy. There shouldn’t be ANYTHING he can’t explore with you unless it’s him wanting to go do his own thing. That’s not how relationships work. He does not value you as much as he should

I’m not even trying to insinuate there was anything wrong with the relationship, however, if he can’t commit because he wants to do things he assume you’ll disapprove of, then it’s good you know now. It saves a lot of heartache to know now rather than later when you’re more attached by engagement or marriage, trust me
