Yes am afraid so. You might think he will think that, but no he will think that you are clingy and you just will not let go off him. Men have different ways of thinking and if you keep contacting him he is just going to get more fed up with you.

Yes you really do need to stop that. When somebody asks for space the last thing you should do is text or email them, you are probably driving him further away from you without realising it. Its time to let go.

I knew that but was hoping that someone had some hope for me. LO
I have been sending text and e-mails just telling him how I'm doing not mentioning any of the drama that I feel because he has taken his affection away from me.
I tell him how much I miss him
I guess I should stop that?

There is nothing you can do now, he has left and told you he wanted space. If you invade his space he might resent you for it. Keep it as a nice memory and with time you will heal.

The only thing you can do sweetie is to let him go. He has told you straight that he needs space, therefore the only thing you can do is give this to him. Am sure you were an important person in his life but he needs to sort out his head at the moment and decide what he wants. As for what you do now, the best thing is to move on and let him go. He may come back to you in the future or he may not but you need to accept now that he needs space from you and carry on with your life.
