A female Ireland, *rizzylizzy writes:

I broke up with my partner 9 weeks ago. Its been hard but I know it was the right thing to do. We argued alot and to be honest he was pretty high maintenance. No matter what I did he was nver happy.

Anyway, I am starting to find it a bit hard now. I am missing having him around. Although we had our problems he was still my best friend and I did love him.

I was at my best friends wedding on Saturday and I passed him twice (on the street he wasnt at the wedding) and he blanked me. He wont even make eye contact with me. My friend was out on Sat night and she met into he. She said he was extremely drunk and asked about me. He said he has started drinking alot.

I don't know if I should contact him. I do miss him but not sure if its just loneliness or Its him I miss. I hate not knowing how he is thinking or feeling.

Any ideas when this emptyness will pass and does he miss me

Thanks L

Find a mutual friend and express your concern. You do not want to be the one to "rescue" him, since he may decide to use alcoholism as relationship blackmail in the future. I had a girlfriend who threatened to hit the bottle if I broke up with her. It was not fun. But the humane thing to do is find someone who can convince him to get help.

Well chances are he's drinking to deal wit the pain.. He mustbe devastated.. But before you contact him, you need to figure out if it's him you really want. It would be a shame for you to go back into his life and break his heart all over again.. If you decide that you're just lonely, you should leave him and give him some time to heal. We all do crazy things when we're hurt, but eventually he'll heal and move on. But if you do love him and want him back, then you should try to contact him..
