Back in October my bf was upset with me, bc I chose to watch t.v. rather than call him on the phone (to talk for 3 hours as we did every night of the week for the past nine months.) We talked about it after the fact and I apologized for ignoring him. The next day he brought it up again and I got upset, bc I thought the whole deal was over with, so I told him to give me some time to cool off. After a few days I wrote him an email (we had a long distance relationship) telling him that I felt we needed to slow things down a bit. I also told him that I felt that he didn't really love me, bc he was always getting upset by things that I say and do. I felt that he was not pleased with the person that I am, as well as, that I really wanted to take time to address concerns in the relationship before we continued talking about the future. His response to that was he agreed on some aspects, but also wanted to take some time to process all of this, but wanted to make it clear that he only looks forward not back. A few days later, he told me that he loved who I am and didn't want me to change, but we kept hurting each other and that's not healthy. He also said that he'd given all he has to offer to me and that he was sorry that I don't believe in his love. He said he was disappointed and confused by everything and maybe one day we'd be in communication, but for now he was done. I was left shocked and heartbroken by his words, bc I honestly wasn't looking to break up. I wrote him afterwards to tell him this and that he was always going to be the love of my life. It's been nearly four months and we've never spoken again. My reason for posting this is simply to hear from all you guys out there. Be brutally honest, was I wrong in asking for a tap on the breaks?
