He ended our new relationship when his brother unexpectedly died. Is he likely to come back to me in time?

Hopefully, he will. Just give him time. You can be there for him and try to comfort him. It all takes patience, even if you're feeling a bit impatient yourself.

Wait for him to come around. Don't let another woman catch his eyes until he stops grieving, because he may or may not fall in love with that other woman that's not in his life yet.


I was in a ldr with a 20yo male. We broke up a week or so ago because he didn't want to seem like a pedopile nor does he wants to go to jail for dating me. I get it, but it hurts, yes. He also told me that he needs to get himself straighten out, whatever that means, but I can probably interpret. He also wants to be good friends. I'll be single for 8 or 9 years - maybe even a whole decade. I have made plans to see him when I'm older and have enough money.

It would not be a good note to start a new relationship when someone is going through this. You put the ball in his court, now let him grieve and deal with it all. Each person handles grief differently. I would give him room and let him contact you when he is ready. Otherwise you may get put in the nuisance file.

Id say your chances are pretty good that he will come back. But in the meantime, don't pass up other opportunities if they arise.

Time may tell, and it most likely could be on your side.. just be there for him... he will appreciate that a lot.

He might, just give him some time to process this
