A partner who has lost love for you and is dead set on moving on, doesn’t want to get back together, or is going to make excuses to extend the time apart.
Be careful that you aren’t beating a dead horse.
The time off has been for this reason.
There is something lacking in this relationship or rotting from within it that led to agreeing to some time off in the first place.
We all have pasts, and many a time, our pasts affect our romantic relationships in a profound manner.
Your boyfriend has left you for someone else because of your past, and this is nothing unusual in relationships.
Without a time machine, our pasts are irrevocable.
This is why you mustn’t rewrite history out of desperation to get your boyfriend back.
Rewriting history is where you lie and embellish, in the hopes of convincing him that whatever upset him about your past or however it affected you, isn’t as bad as he thinks it is.
