How should you break up with someone you really do want to remain friends with?...when they get it together.?

we were friends for 4 years before we dated.


now we've been together 1.5 years and the last few months the communication has dwindled and the last 2 monthseven less.I have not had any contact w/ him at all in two.


we live in different cities and i'm just as busy as he, but he won't answer my calls, texts, emails, nothing.


the last 2 or 3 times he was to visit, he canceled the day of or the night before.


i don't think he's cheating, but i don't feel like a priority lately, especially the way he chased me before I'd even date him.


I know it's just not me he is ignoring.


His family says he's been distant from them, too. but i need to get his attention bc i wouldn't marry him at this point if this is the precursor.


He told me a while back that he has some things he has to work out on his own, but I've told him he simply has to tell me he needs to focus %26amp; cant talk and i wont feel cast aside.


i know it's a bad idea to drop by his house, but i thought about it - just to leave...How should you break up with someone you really do want to remain friends with?...when they get it together.?
Let him go. He obviously wants to be alone right now. If you were meant to be together you would be. Life is too short to settle on someone you're not happy with. Spend a little time alone, figure out what it is you want and then start dating again, it's scary but you'll be fine!How should you break up with someone you really do want to remain friends with?...when they get it together.?
...nothing is ever guaranteed to anyone in their lives darling....not even this guy being with you really! You need to stop your own personal anxiety for you two to be together significantly?...hey!!!...especially over this one particular fellow here sweetie. He's scared and he's running away from stuff right now darling...and he needs to be allowed to have the time to pull his own crap together...so to speak. Give him some room to negotiate this stuff within himself right now babe. If God intended for you two to be together?...it'll happen for the both of you two sweetie. That stuff hasn't happened yet reasonably...so don't force it....ok? He'll come around when HE'S ready hun. You're already ready babe...let him do some catching up with you significantly. You slow down otherwise babe...you're moving to fast for his comfort zone otherwise. .......COOL?
