writes: My boyfriend broke up with me three weeks ago but still manages to contact me every day and what makes it hard is that we go to the same school. He pulled the whole 'lets still be friends line' when we broke up. Last week he told me he still likes me and loves being with me but is unsure about what he wants. A couple of days later he decided that he just wants to leave it as being single, but then he still continues to get heaps close to me and hold my hand and kiss me etc. It's hard to get space from him to let him work out what he wants because i see him everyday, but i'm trying to cut down seeing him out of school. He asked me to go over to his house last week and i said no i can't and he got mad and didn't talk to me, but that only lasted until the next day. I know he can't go longer than a day without at least sending me a text message to check up on me, so what should i do? should i try keeping my distance in hope that he will realise whether he has made a mistake or not, because as far as i'm concerned the reality of our breakup hasn't been able to kick in for him because ever since we broke up he has treated me like i'm still his girlfriend except he gets the freedom of doing what he wants.

I think you are right, that the reality of your break up hasn't set in yet because he hasn't had chance to experience it yet.
He still sees you everyday and talks to you and checks up on you. My bf did the same thing when we broke up, he would call and make sure I was home before he would go out with his friends.
Give him the distance he asked for and if he asks why you are pulling away, explain it to him. He asked for distance and he is the one who wanted to break up so you are respecting his wishes and he should respect yours so you can move on.
