I recently broke up with my boyfriend. It happened in person after a lunch we had that day. I never intentionally set out to break up with him that day, but it turned into that. Basically we had been having the same conversation for weeks about how he thought I wasn’t putting enough energy and time towards him which I disagreed with pointing out that I spent all my free time with him, and he was really the only sole focus of my life. I missed my family and friends, and wanted to go back to spend time with them. We couldn’t see eye to eye on the issue. He just had become so emotionally intense and dependent, I couldn’t deal with the weight of the relationship. I still really value him as a person, I have nothing against him.
My question now is this:
I’m in high school, and we have two classes (where we sit beside each other) and we share a locker. I want to eventually be good friends (as we got along great), but give him space to move on. How is this possible with so much contact?
