Hello!
I'm a heart exploration coach, and I believe learning is the body's greatest treasure.
From what you've said, I can tell you're feeling resentful, upset, dissatisfied, sad, and overwhelmed.
I'm not going to get into the nitty-gritty of your emotional issues here, but I do have three pieces of advice for you:
First, I suggest you try to understand and accept your current situation.
Doing so will help you feel a bit better and think more clearly about what to do next.
You said he chased you and you got together on the spur of the moment. At first, he was really nice to you, but you started to annoy him and he avoided you. Time and time again, he rejected your invitations and always found someone else to help you out. Even the breakup was relayed by someone else. You feel that he is very irresponsible and are a bit dissatisfied. You need a reason that will convince you. In fact, if someone else were in your shoes, they would most likely be in the same situation as you. In an intimate relationship, the person who is willing to spend time and energy facing problems and solving them may suddenly be broken up with, which can be hard to accept. They want a reasonable explanation. So you have to try to understand yourself and comfort yourself. "Seeing" the painful part of yourself that wants a convincing reason but can't get it for the time being will take your mind off things. Otherwise, your brain will be filled with all kinds of negative emotions.
More importantly, if you can understand and accept yourself, you'll be able to make changes in your current situation. I know it sounds a bit contradictory, but that's how it works: you have to allow for change in order to make it happen.
Secondly, I suggest you take a step back and look at the situation rationally.
Rational thinking can help you understand yourself and reality better.
Take a step back and look at it rationally. I want you to do the following three things:
It's important to understand that managing a relationship requires the input of both parties and that it's something that should be done willingly.
Simply put, even if you're trying to cope and resolve the situation, if he's always avoiding it, you have to accept the reality. After all, relationships require the joint efforts of two people and are a matter for the two of you, not just one person.
Second, remember that relationships are always changing because people change.
I'm telling you this because I don't want you to dwell on the fact that he pursued you, and now he's breaking up with you. He's a person who can change.
Third, remember that you can change the status quo.
When you take the initiative, your mindset and the dynamic of your relationship with him will shift, and it's likely that the negative emotions you're experiencing will gradually dissipate. It's important to recognize your own strength and the power of time.
I'd say you should focus on yourself for a while and think about what you can do to feel better.
For instance, you could go straight to him and have a good chat to see if he can give you a reason that will convince you. Of course, when you talk to him, you need to be careful about the way you do it. You could try to put yourself in his shoes and try to understand him. Start sentences with "I" and talk about your feelings. This will help you communicate better. If he is unwilling to meet and talk, you could tell him what you want to say over the phone or in a text message. Then he may be able to give you a reason, and your mood may be better.
If he still acts the same way after you've talked to him, you can give him some time. He might be used to avoiding things or might not know how to communicate with you yet. By giving him time, you're showing him respect and understanding, which might make him change and be willing to have a good chat with you and tell you why he wants to break up with you, which might also make you feel better.
You also need to be prepared for the fact that he will continue to avoid the issue. In other words, if you communicate with him many times and give him some time, but he still avoids the issue and refuses to face it, then you can only accept the reality, which is that he is an irresponsible person. When you accept this reality, your mood may also improve, because if you accept the reality, you will have no expectations, and without expectations, there will be no more hurt.
You can also remind yourself that relationships are a two-way street. One-sided wishes don't tend to last long, and relationships are also uncertain. Now that he's avoiding you, it means that he no longer has the same fondness and love for you that he once did. After you've repeated this to yourself a few times, it may also help you to slowly let go of this relationship because he's not worth your constant obsession.
I also hope you won't doubt yourself because he suddenly broke up with you, feeling you're not good enough and not worthy of love. That's not the case, though. Your breakup just means you're not suited to each other. What's more, he's been evading and is unwilling to take responsibility for the relationship because he doesn't know how to cherish you. In short, you need to know you can do something to improve the situation.
When you start taking action, you'll naturally start to feel better because taking action can help you overcome negative emotions.
I hope this helps. If you want to talk more, just click "Find a coach to interpret – online conversation" at the bottom, and I'll chat with you one-on-one.

I can understand how hurt and confused you must be feeling right now. It's tough when one person in the relationship takes things seriously while the other doesn't seem to share the same commitment. I hope you find someone who appreciates and values you for who you are.
It sounds like you've invested a lot of emotion into this relationship, and it's incredibly painful when the other person steps back without giving clear reasons. Maybe it's time to focus on yourself and what you need to heal and move forward.
You deserve honesty and respect in a relationship. If he's not willing to communicate directly with you, it might be a sign that he's not ready for a serious relationship. Try to seek closure by expressing your feelings to him directly, if possible, or consider talking to a friend or counselor to help process everything.
It's heartbreaking to feel so deeply for someone who doesn't reciprocate the same level of dedication. Sometimes people change, and relationships evolve in ways we don't expect. Take this as an opportunity to reflect on what you truly want and need in a partner and in your life.
