Destiny and I started dating last November. It was barely a month after I got out of a painful relationship, and I was still healing. Because of that, our relationship only lasted two weeks. He said I was still into my ex, but I told him I had moved on.

I’m a sex addict, and I’m not proud of it. After we broke up, Destiny and I agreed to keep sleeping together, but with no emotions involved. I said yes because deep down, I thought it would make him come back to me. I thought maybe, just maybe, he would change his mind.

But it’s been almost a year now, and every single day it feels like he’s never coming back. He’s never going to love me again. I’m too emotional, and it hurts because all my life I’ve never had someone I could truly call mine. Destiny was there, and I held on to that, even though he keeps telling me he can’t be emotional with me.

He says it all the time, and still I keep hoping. I keep pushing, even when it breaks me. I don’t know if he’s trying to say he’ll never want us back. I don’t know if I’m just fooling myself.

Right now, I feel like ending the whole situationship. It’s messing with my head. I cry, I overthink, and I feel empty. I don’t think I’ll survive it if I stay and he walks away in the end.

Please, what should I do?
