My partner and I are currently on a “break” or break-up, wasn’t exactly decided upon. But the uncertainty is killing me.

I want to respect their boundaries and time they need but they’ve reached out to me to just talk about normal stuff. I tried being really sincere with them about something last night as they were feeling anxious and it hurt when their reply ended up being really closed off.

I just want to know what the plan is, are they going to approach me when they’re ready to talk about what’s going on, how long it’s going to take, or if anything is going to even happen at all. I don’t want to give an ultimatum and be like hey we’re doing this on this day at this time. Im scared by asking anything like this it’s going to push them away.

Anyways this is all just so confusing and I’m hurting. I can see them online all day and not responding to a message from last night still. They know how much this hurts because they don’t like it when someone does it to them and so why be like that to me? For someone who values stability and doesn’t like when people run away when things get tough why do that to me?

I guess I needed to just vent, I don’t know. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
