Saying Goodbye to my love

Hi Sisters,
​I have been MIA for a long time from the forum dealing with personal issues and just generally trying to raise my vibration and stay on a positive self love journey.. now I am dealing with recent heartbreak from my love again and want to turn to my sisters for support and encouragement that I chose the right path.
​6 months ago my love came back and we fell into a friends with benefits situation, Lanie advised me to stop this immediately and I wish I had taken her advice, I knew deep down I was giving up my power to him by seeing him this way but I just couldn't let him go. He has been applying for work overseas in the USA and Canada (we live in Australia) so he always said to me he can't commit to anything as any moment he could be leaving the country. I persisted because I though I could do the technique and change his mind and bring him back to me. I received conflicting advice on other forums saying I should be grateful he still wants to see me and be intimate with me and that its a positive sign and just keep doing the techniques and he will be offering a committed relationship in no time. So I continued seeing him on a weekly basis but it just never progressed into the relationship I desired. I finally told him I can't keep hanging out like this and that I want to progress into a loving relationship, he of course responded with the usual response with "I am still applying for work overseas so I just cant commit to anything right now because if I leave we will have to go through the whole shit process again, I understand you can't wait anymore and you and you should be with someone who can give you what you want" I know he loves me and cares about me but it fucking hurts that I'm not enough to fight for.. he's letting me go based around an imaginary job that probably wont even happen but he'd rather focus on a 'what if' job then try again with me. I'm just so devastated I've spent all this time trying to get us back together and he still just keeps me at arms length but is so affectionate and loving when we are around each other.. I just don't get it. I know I need to walk away but its still so hard for me to let him go when he is so available but only on a physical level and I know that's not enough and I deserve so much more. Some advice would be so helpful, I contacted Lanie and she was so supportive and kind, told me to be strong and I am trying to be.. It's like I just can't take my own advice and I am so worried me walking away from him is going to result in loosing him forever.. I believe in LOA and trust in the process but I just find my situation so confusing and I'm just in a really low place right now.
​Big love to you all xoxo

Re: Saying Goodbye to my love

I hope you learned from the situation. Lanie told you to stop and you should've, so now you know what to do next time.

Also, he told you his reasons of why he can't commit - which have nothing to do with you and everything to do with him and wanting to work elsewhere. It has nothing to do with him not wanting to fight for you - he has his own life too. So you want him to stop everything he's doing and sacrifice his own happiness to be with you? That's the kind of person you want? Someone who gives up on their own dreams for you? You should support him, not pressure him into doing what he's told you numerous times he's not ready for.

If you want him, keep doing the techniques but you have to realise this may not be the best time for you two to be together and that things very well may fall into place in the future.

Re: Saying Goodbye to my love

Hi sweetie, im so sorry to hear this.
Its easy not to follow good advice when you want to so much to be with someone, dont beat yourself up over this now. Whats done is done, and you have the answer you need now straight from the horses mouth.
Take a deep breath and relax.
Its hard, but asking yourself why he is more concerned about the o/seas job than you does not help anything. Its an excuse that he gave you thats all. Accept that he is not ready right now and release him. Putting space between you will make it easier, and if you can find some gf's to sepnd time with or do something fun to lift your spirits.
When you are in a better head space, i suggest writing down what you want your ideal relationship to be like and what your ideal partner should be. Then compare that to what you had with your ex this past few months, im sure you will see that there is a big difference in your expectations vs what happened.


All advice given is intended in the best interest of whomever I may be replying to & my opinions may not necessarily reflect those of the wider community on the forum.

​Thank you Blue, tough but a perspective I need to look at and understand his position. Just want to point out that he was always perusing me in these 6 months, I would never contact him, he would always reach out to me wanting to see me. Two weeks ago he messaged me 4 nights in a row to see me and I turned him down each night explaining I was busy and couldn't see him, a week later he was asking to see me again.. and so it goes.. so I'm just hurt by him pulling me back constantly when he knows I love him and he is not able to give me more. It just confuses me as he clearly can't let me go but cant give me more at the same time. So I totally get I need to put my big girl pants on and cut it off because he clearly wants to keep going along as we are until 'maybe' he goes overseas. I would never want to hold him back from his dreams, just wish he could include me in them like a true partnership, I would go with him if he asked. I guess that's were I know I need to let go and focus on my own dreams, just hurts thinking I am loosing him from my life completely..

Re: Saying Goodbye to my love

You need to just cut off contact and not initiate anything. Stop sleeping with him or doing any of that. He needs to chase you. But you need to understand that him giving up on what he wants just for you will make you both unhappy in the long run and will cause him to one day hate you because he will think "I could've done all of this and that but didn't because I wanted you to be happy."

Support him, visualise and do the meditations - focus on the end result and have faith. In the meantime, you're at a low point and you need to stop talking to him until you are in a right frame of mind.

​Okay, I hear you and I know this to be the right path.. as I said I never initiate contact he always reaches out to me to catch up. I have said I cannot continue like this and I need to move on and so if he reaches out do I just not respond or repeat my same message? this is why I've found it so hard because I've tried to move on.. then he contacts me and I think Oh the techniques are working and he's come back.. but then it still doesn't progress

​Thank you lovely,
​You are so right that I shouldn't concern myself with the why's.. it wouldn't matter what the reason was, if he was ready he would be with me and he is just not there yet and may never be.. but I can't have that be my story anymore.. I am grateful for the advice and I know this is what I need to keep going and stick to it this time.

Tell him you're not interested in keeping the whole friends with benefits situation going on and if he doesn't respect it then don't reply.

Re: Saying Goodbye to my love

Thanks Blue.
​I can do this, I just want it to stop hurting so much.. I don't like feeling so out of control like this, I'm usually good at focusing on my desired reality and not the reality I see in front of me. But something about this seems so final and its hard being the one that's pulled the trigger and ended the contact between us, I know I have to but it just sucks.. I hope to have more uplifting post's soon I don't like being such a downer, its so opposite to what I have been working towards.. the heartache is just so raw at the moment and I come here to vent so I don't go contacting him!

Re: Saying Goodbye to my love

Bliss, I don't know what your spiritual beliefs are but I am a true believer in angels - I recently read two books about angels and manifesting with them and using LOA. The books truly helped me and helped me completely let go and accept everything that is happening and built so much trust in me. If you would like I can post the titles here and you can read them if you would like.
