Is it normal if i can't stand why i let him go?

So I decided to just let go slowly the guy I was with casually. It was just too heartbreaking for me how every time I fought for it, it never worked out. It would for a few hrs then its gone again. He said that he agreed to stop talking and it would be less stress for us. Okay great whatever, he's not even fighting to keep me? What does that mean? he never really wanted me in the first place? It sucks cause he said he did but he saw how stressed I was so he thought it was for the best. Is that bs or did he really like me but thought that was for the better? Its been like a month and yeah I feel good and fresh but every single time he comes up, I just break into pieces like how it didn't work out like I pictured it would...how someone else will have him and not me...thats the worst one. I honestly felt like I could make him the happiest because of how much I loved him and that I would do anything for him. Did I feel like he could possibly do better than me? A little but did I feel like he was better off with me? Yes...because I would do anything to make him happy. I don't think there is anyone else who would love him like I did so it just urks me to know that someone else will have that spot and its not me. I guess it is jealousy, but not the psycho jealousy just the hurting type. Although, I am fine when I don't think of him, I know there is a big piece I am missing and its just frustrating. I don't know how Im movng on. Finding new hobbies doesn't help. Sometimes I feel like talking to him again but just as friends like staying in touch, having him in my life, but then it might the wrong thing to do cause I'll catch feelings again even though, they never left. I feel like I shouldn't have cut it off but then I remind myself how I did do my very best to make it work so I shouldn't feel unsatisfied walking away. I just feel so hurt and just lost...like really I lost him, I lost my love who I would take care of like a son, my everything. I think the only thing that makes me feel good is crying. I feel really relieved and content when I just pour out everything. I just can't believe there are even still tears left after so many moments of despair when I was talking to him. This feeling is crazy and I don't think Im ever going to love someone like him again and I don't think would want to anyways. It hurts way too much, so destructive.

    I vaguely read the above novel. Run on paragraphs melt my brain.

    Regardless, it appears that you had a short lived relationship. Doubtful you truly knew much of each other. I'm still learning about my SO and it's been years.

    To be brutal and honest - strictly from reading the post - you appear very "stuck" on him. Clingy is a word guys often use.

    If you truly want to give it another shot - just ask him if he would, and if not, why. Nevermind run of the mill trash one size fits all relationship advice from crap like cosmo.

    Tell him to be honest - maybe it was misunderstanding, maybe it was you, maybe it was him, maybe it was someone else. You just need to ask.

    Had a similar situation with long distance relationship. I wish she'd call and be friends. We used to talk for long times about whatever. It's been almost two years.
    I prob think about her twice a day still. I would have easily asked her to marry me now.

    Or he had some sense of pride. When my ex dumped me it was as if my world shattered around me (First time I get dumped) but did I beg him to reconsider? did I showed up at his door? NO. Because I have some self-respect and that is always going to be more important than fleeting love affairs.

    YOU told him you wanted to break it off, he respected you and now you are worried that he didn't like you at all? He probably did but were mature enough to respect you. Something you should be happy about.

    Let him be, if it didn't work the first time it wont work this second time around.

    • Well that's the thing. I think the way you do...I thought he prob did like me but in a mature way he let our thing go....however, the majority thinks that if he was interested enough he wouldn't have let us go he would fight for it so that's why I'm confused. Help :/

        And as I just said, i loved my ex. I thought he was the one I might start a family with one day ... But still I refused to even try to fight for it when someone would just drop me that easily.

        And now I'm glad that I did, Cuz I found something better.

        May I ask what you fought about?

        • We have fought about a lot but u know he said okay let's stop for the best I guess I should go with him? Because he respects us but if I would continue then he would be okay. Just lost cause i love him and us and want the best for us

            It's your life, go and make your mistakes. You seem to have made up your mind about it.
            Best wishes and for your sake I hope I'm wrong about this ending even shittier than it ended the first time.

            • Should I just stay w him even if it hurts ? Apparently some people don't know what they had until it was gone
