Yep that was then, now I am very single, simply stopped reaching out and being the initiator - poof gone like magic

If this is the case I will simply shake him out of my heart and sould as if he never existed

And I don’t want to leave him because it’s a lot harder than what it seems

Aww oh sorry to hear that !

1and 2 is so true!

All of these hit so hard...

This is very accurate

What if the person is great but you been together for 5 months and you post all sorts of things and pics of the 2 of you in social media but they haven't posted anything at all and have pics of their ex from 7 months ago???? Should I be concerned?

All very true! Of course, the very worst thing to do is stay, especially if everything (or the majority) listed is true! You can't make someone like you or care about you/your feelings. By staying, you're only hurting yourself & your self-esteem. The longer you stay, the harder it is to leave. Do yourself a favor & leave now b/c no one deserves to be treated badly &/or used.

How about it if it was your husband not your boyfriend ?
