Hello
Well I'm officially single
It's so weird... one minute we are looking at flats, choosing the one we want and talking about furniture and the next we are split up.
He came over last night and basically said that for the last month he has not been feeling the same. He hasn't acted any differently with me - usually you can tell can't you, when something is wrong? He said that he thought it was just nerves about moving but he said that he felt like he should be wanting to rush home from work to get his work done so he can spend the whole weekend with me, or en I all him he should want to have a nice long conversation - but he doesn't feel like that.
I said about how love goes up and down, its not always perfect but he said he has tried for a month and can't see his feelings changing and so can't give it a try now. I said it wasn't fair... he should have told me so that we could work on it together rather than just him.
Anyway... we chatted for hours, cuddled and both cried loads. We still kissed a bit - he said he still fancies me, still has feelings for me, still cares about me more than anything in the world and wishes he felt the same as he used to. He said he wants to be friends - the best thing about us is that we always had so much fun - there was never a dull moment and we were each others best friends. It's been different to any other relationship I've ever had... I've never had that level of friendship underneath the relationship. I hope that from this we can remain friends. The thought of not having him in my life kills me and we both said we will really try.
It's hard to explain to people who don't know him. He is genuinely the nicest, most caring person I have ever met. It's nice knowing that I can trust everything he says - I know if he says he wants to stay friends and will try that he will try his hardest and it's not just empty promises.
I said I would back off asking him to keep trying if he would keep his mind open to things developing when we are just friends. I think if the pressure is taken off then things may work out. I still see him being the person I want to end up with and so I'm hopeful. We've never argued, never fallen out, never hurt each other... there is a great relationship there and definitely something that could be worked on.
He has just been told about an Inset day at school on the day we are supposed to fly to Amsterdam. He originally said I could have our holidays to Amsterdam and Spain but I said I would much rather go with him. He said he is going to ask if he can have it off and still come so fingers crossed he is able to do that.
