I love this man he broke up with me because he said he didn’t know if he was happy. He texts me three days later saying “you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone” and is now booking some counseling appointments to work on himself. What do we think

Is the counseling truly for himself or just to look good in your eyes? Had an ex do something very similar just so I’d take him back

he HAD YOU, and had every chance to KEEP YOU, but CHOSE to leave you. don't ever give a man a chance to NOT CHOOSE YOU twice. he could've worked on himself while with you if he really wasn't sure about his happiness, instead he fully cut the cord with you and is now only realizing how good he had it bc ur gone and he can't do better

I say you gotta take time too and reevaluate things. Think about how he made you feel and I’m talking all his actions both good and bad, how the breakup made you feel and how you viewed him after it. Of course it’s a good sign he’s going to therapy but ultimately it’s your life and your relationship so you gotta make the decision. I recommend getting a therapist if you don’t have one and work it out with them. Also don’t be dumb rebounding or hu with someone immediately, that never ends well

I never felt angry at him after the breakup and I didn’t want to give up on him and I don’t think I’ll ever be angry at him. So it’s different I feel

Best way to know is to not take him back during his time in counseling. Green flag if he isn’t trying to get together after starting. See the actual changes, and that takes time of course especially if he’s serious about it

Time, btw, you’re not obligated to keep for him. You should honestly live your life as a single person and just focus on that. Don’t wait for him to change or to come back changed. It’ll either happen or it won’t.
