RE: "Why has my boyfriend put me on hold and what can I do to break free?"
In my opinion.
Our decisions today will affect how we will take a decision tomorrow or in the future.
Hurt is never perceived the time we hold a tangle with someone who had a close relationship or to involve us in the problem.
Parting with a beloved each when accompanying us in a State of love and grief, the one with whom we share happiness, smiles and laughter, cheerfully, is the thing that really really sucks, I repeat very annoying. Suddenly our dreams alone with him and we are gone, all that's left is just a wound and fond memories are bitter.
Most people think that it is a very painful thing is losing people you love, it's actually a very painful thing was when we lost ourselves during the process of loving someone with great, moreover all ended in vain. Sometimes we need a very long time to forget those we love. Forget that you are also special and deserving of kindness.
Thanks for this my Teacher @nomad-magus
