My ex and I dated for 14 months and I am deeply in love with him, and I know he loves me. We broke up a little over two weeks ago, and there isn't a second where I haven't thought about him and wondered how he was doing. We talked a few days ago and he told me he does still love me but he can't be with me because he can't handle a relationship, and he doesn't know if we will get back together or not when he's ready. He said it's not that he doesn't want to be with ME, he just doesn't want to be with anybody at the moment (he's also not the kind of guy to hook up with random girls, so I'm not worried about that). He kept telling me that he's not worth it because he's not worth much of anything and that I shouldn't wait on him (he has horrible self esteem issues), but I don't know.
I don't understand how he can go from loving the hell out of me one week, to completely ignoring me the next? I know he's not feeling okay, as he told me, but I really just don't understand.
So my question is, do you ever truly get over someone you really love?
