Struggling with a breakup
My partner of 5 years has left. He took all his things and I don’t know where he’s gone. We still text. This happened Sunday. I asked him what happened and he said he was not happy and he wanted to focus on himself and find individual happiness before trying to be in a relationship. I asked him if he thought we would be together again and he said “I think we can be” I just don’t know if I’m reading between the lines too much and he just said that to say it or what. Im hurting. I can’t eat. I just want to sleep. I wish there was someone I could talk to on a daily basis to stop myself from texting him.

While i agree a person need to be happy with themselves i do not see coming back to a relationship they had when they realized they were NOT happy with themselves. he might think telling you maybe is kind but it is not.
There is not a way to stop texting until you decide you want to work on you too and not put your life in a holding pattern hoping the maybe is true. either way if he returns or not you will be in a better place with yourself.
Sometimes we want to talk ........thinking all things can be worked out but perhaps you should see he was ready to walk away ................not just bring up he is/ was unhappy and what changes could have happened in past ....
whatever made his mind up probably went on for a while before he packed up.... at a certain time sorry and trying to go back in time to when things were working is gone.
