Breaking Up Is Hard to Do

Now I sound so common and I know everyone agrees that when a couple decides to stay away from each other, it will cause them pain and sorrow. However, if it is for the good, then both of them should also try their best to move on. In my case, it is very hard because we both love each other but the problem is, we are both stubborn and firm in our principles that we couldn't give them up just to accommodate each other's wishes. We still chat but I have told him that it is over yet he still keeps on showing his concern and his worries that I might find someone else. He has kept his words that he will not look for a new gf and I have also lost my interest in another relationship. Although I am beginning to feel adjusted, I feel that both of us still need each other and that is why we still communicate. He would say that it is not the end yet and only time will tell of which I unconsciously hope that it is still both of us in the end. I wonder what your thoughts are about these that I have shared with you. Any comment would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

It sounds to me like you both still want to be together. It sounds like you still care for him and it sounds like he still cares for you. Maybe you guys need to stop trying to change each other and learn to accept each other for what you are. Your relationship will never work if you try to constantly make it a power struggle. Learn to accept each other and learn to agree to disagree sometimes. I think you guys should give it another go but both of you need to work on not trying to change the other.

I think you guys are confuse about your own feeling and you guys are not sure if you both would like to move on.Sometime when relationships are old it does take time to move on and sometime instead of breaking it of people once again make a fresh start. I think you guys need to stay in touch and see if issues between you resolvable.You might be successful and you might not.You are right only time can say .
