I gave him all the space he needed, yes. We still talked on aim a lot, but we didn’t talk on the phone once (we normally do every night). I also fixed some things with myself. Since his issue was dealing with my depression, I stopped writing on tumblr about it, for the most part. I used to put a lot of hateful messages toward myself, instantly blame myself for anything that went wrong, etc. And while I still struggle with my depression, I no longer write it on Tumblr to make it easier for him. And another thing I fixed too.
You just have to fix whatever it is that made you guys broke up, and give him space if he needs it. :)
