Heart to Heart with Malvika

Published On: May 9, 2017 11:00 PM NPT By: Republica

I am a 22-year-old woman currently living abroad. Me and my boyfriend work together. We have been together for almost two and a half years. Our relationship went beautifully for one and a half year. But, he doesn’t want to be in a relationship anymore. He said that he wants to grow and make a good career but I think as we both are in a same profession it’ll be easier for both of us to grow together. I have always been supportive to him and he also supports me but not the way he used to. I know he loves me but he never shows his emotions. He now wants me to move on and wants to see change in me. But it’s really hard for me to move on. It hurts so much to know that he no longer wants me. I have cried a lot and every time I think of him, it reminds me of those beautiful days we spent together which have turned into memories now. I always try to make him understand how I need him but he seems to get irritated and has stopped talking to me now. I feel like dying. What should I do?
