Haven’t heard from my ex boyfriend since he’s back from rehab?

[Anonymous]

So my ex broke up with me a year ago. He honestly didn’t rlly leave me alone up until now. I did the blocking the moving to another city etc l. Anyway last time I saw him we got in a huge fight which we didn’t even fight in our relationship. He said he had feelings for me a day before but d didn’t know what he wanted. He said that it was. Turn off that I try to make him answer questions on the spot but I only ask bc he hasn’t left me alone for a year. Anyway … Found out he went to rehab 2 weeks after due to alcohol. He’s been back from rehab for a week and haven’t heard from him. I feel like he convinced himself in rehab that he was only “in lust” with me. I miss him and don’t even know if I’ll ever hear from him again. :(

In rehab relationships are not recommended when a person is trying to get sober because it is something else to become addicted to and it distracts the individual from maintaining their sobriety, at least at the beginning of one’s sobriety. Having a relationship is also a way to distract oneself from the underlying issues that led to addiction to begin with.


He needs to be focusing on himself right now while he is in rehab.

Perhaps, after rehab there was a determination that all that was past needs to remain past. And, that he move forward with a clean slate ⁉️

That make sense in theory but if you rlly care about someone I don’t know how you could do that

It is common practice. He’s seems to be fixing himself. I am not an expert but the best thing you can do for him…in my personal view…is to leave him alone. Let him come to you when ready. Then it’s the right time. You’re your own adult. Do what you think is best. I hope it works out as you wish 🙂

I mean I wish him the best but I never even got an answer of why he broke up with me. He basically said he didn’t know. So how can you know you don’t want to be with someone If you don’t even know by you broke up with them…
