Well, I am totally single now.
He is damaged from a previous relationship.
In most ways, I'd really prefer hearing that he thought we are fundamentally incompatible. That would be more concrete and easier to accept.
As it is, I feel like it's not over, even though it is, and will likely be torturing myself with "what if"s until he starts dating someone else. I hate this hope that I am holding on to that he will change his mind or things will eventually turn around.
I think I am handling it well though. I don't hate myself, I don't feel empty or numb. Sure, I've been crying, but I am just sad at the lost potential.
I'll get over it. Either we will get together eventually or we won't. I shouldn't (and don't need to) consider that now.
