You should 100% talk in person but at this point it doesn’t seem like he’s willing to put in the effort assuming that the reason he’s breaking up is distance. Actual love doesn’t have a range limit. But if there’s a different reason for the break up let us know the people want to know
The fact that he has thought about breaking up is just a red flag to me. Yall should def talk it out, but i would prolly get out of that relationship if i were you. If he really loved you there wouldn’t be any reason to break up. I personally would not want to drive 7 hours to be broken up with though, so maybe FaceTime or video call as an alternative to save you the trip. I would hate to do it all virtually as well, but in this situation it would make your life a little easier.
he says he needs to focus on his sport because it’s his last year. im apparently affecting his mental health bc he did some questionable things throughout our relationship which caused me to lose trust and so now i have lost that trust but am slowly trying to bring it back. i want to stay with him and work on this but i dont think he does
Honestly and it’s cliche as fuck but If you love him you gotta let him go at this point. If it’s meant to be he’ll come back. I can kinda imagine the kind of relationship it is and I see how your brain is a little addicted to him at this point but it’s reaching that point where you just need to rip off the bandaid since he clearly isn’t ready to put in effort
Let us know why you want to be with him. But he’s just seemingly not ready for something like this right now and will only hurt you by continuing to try. You could remain his friend or in contact with him. I think the best thing to do for yourself is to essentially remind him you’re a person with feelings too but phrase it better than that of course because like. Well I’m not sure if he’s purely being selfish or if he wants to end things to spare you potential emotional suffering
