Hi
I have had a long distance relationship for 5 years and we have been engaged for 3 of those years.
I was due to visit him this week, but after a huge fight with his possessive, domineering mother, he called everything of with just 26 hours before my flight.
We are not that young and been in relationships before. He has to live in his parents house and I have been there on numerous occasions and get on well enough, apart from his mother's bizarre behaviour at times. We had thought that I would be able to move there by now but because of the economy, this has just not worked out. However, his mother has made it clear that she will not allow anyone else to stay there ever. So he feels that his hands are tied and had no choice but to end it here as he see's no future as long as his mother is there. He has closed down skype, but he is still there on my facebook and we did have a chat there about it yesterday morning. I am distraught at this happening out of the blue and he doesn't want to leave me either. We often rang each others phone just to let us know we were thinking about each other and I did this yesterday afternoon. A couple of hours later he did the same. then he did it again in the evening so I did it back. He had almost completely stopped using facebook in favour of twitter, which I don't use, but now he is back on facebook more than he had been latterly, just posting some political opinions or shares from other people. I am thinking he still wants me to see him.
Should I give him some space? Should I send him a letter, or email? Should I just ring his phone like I did yesterday for a while until he thinks about things a bit more?
Thanks for any advice
