Thanks, everyone. I found a lot of comfort in your words. There's nothing I can really do now, as it's over. He sent me the saddest message the other day saying that he had made many mistakes over our relationship and that he's sorry. He told me that he loved every minute of our 6 and a half years together. But it wasn't trying to mend anything. It seemed like he was saying goodbye.

I'm not really sure what to do anymore. I guess I have to respect his wishes and stay away. I love this person more than anything, and this hurts.
