Be there for him is you feel comfortable doing so.

I went through something like this a year ago with my ex gf.

She said she needed time to sort herself out, and because I loved her and hoped we'd get back together, I provided the emotional support she needed. During this time, she was seeing a few other guys, and of course I didn't know.

Once she had resolved her issues, I was no longer needed. I guess she was using me as her emotional support to spare these guys from her issues - having her cake and eat it too.

cd206 agony auntI don't think it's a case of should you or not. He's told you what he wants and I don't think you have an option, apart from the obvious of whether to be mature and give him his time and hope he comes back to you... or kick up a fuss and have a tantrum and drive him away completely. If you love him give him his space to work things out and let him know that you're around if he needs any help sorting them out.
