My story is not unlike many of yours. A case of a broken heart and a long-term relationship with my ex that abruptly ended. We had been exclusive all that time, and had an amazing connection and relationship. About a year ago, my ex took on some rather time-consuming volunteer work in addition to a demanding career. His work and volunteer position consumed most of his free hours and being in love with him, and being that this volunteer position was the culmination of years of dedication to a cause that he is passionate about, I supported him in his efforts. Of course it made a rather significant impact on the amount of pivate time we had (that and an adult son that moved in with his dad that changed our opportuity for intimacy, aswell). While I missed the time we spent, I was understanding and a constant cheerleader for him. We maintained constant daily contact by phone, text and saw each other at least once a day (albeit in public) and he was demonstrably affectionate and declared his love for me frequently.
Fast forward to March of this year, when my ex's volunteer work was winding down and I, naturally, expected that "our" time would pick up. It didn't and in April he announced that he was no longer attracted to me. I was devastated and in an effort to save the relationship asked what I could do to improve the situation, and offered to take a break for a little while to see if that would help. I sent 4 texts to him in the next 60 days - just friendly hellos..nothing deep. Then, during the only phone call we had in those 2 months he announced that we were over - that he was feeling generally unhappy in his life (nothing about me) and that he wanted to find out why. No goodbye in person...just him telling me over the phone that he loved me "more than a best friend" and that he cherished our friendship and the things we did as friends and a request from him that I consider if we could continue to talk, and do things as friends at times. I told him that I would in an email I sent to him 2 days later (which I know he received) but never heard from him again.
I miss him and would dearly like to reconcile....if that is in the cards. Before I knew about the importance of not reading too often, I consulted many readers. I don't know if I have impacted the "predicted outcome" or the timelines quoted...so I am taking a break for a week to see if that improves things.
Here is the recap of my readings: When I look at the data, it seems I might have a fighting chance, but would really appreciate any input from any of you that have more familiarity with the probabilities that are predicted by readers. Since there has been no contact yet, there are no predictions that have manifested yet...so I will wait to report which reader predicted what.
