Will he miss me when I move out? Will he realize the grass isn't greener?

Me and my ex boyfriend signed a lease and ended up breaking up in April. We decided to both stick out the lease.

 

After a few months of near constant communication with each other and a day last week where we talked about all of our problems from the relationship and told each other how we wanted to work it out and cuddled I decided I think it's best if I move out because he said he doesn't want to force it right now but that he can't picture being with anybody but me at the end of the day. Instead of going back and forth with each other about getting back together or not I think he needs to realize what it's like to not have me in his life because I feel like he still gets to have me in a way because we're living together.

 

He decided he would accept and would cover rent by himself so my question now is... do you think he will miss me? I told him I WOULD like to make it work and he begged for me back at first but said now isn't the time.. He told me I could stay until the lease ends but I insisted on moving out ASAP and will be officially leaving in five days.

 

How do you think he will feel when he comes home and the apartment is empty? I am taking the dishes, shower curtains, rugs etc. and I am curious as to if he will regret having let me leave. I was a great girlfriend and took care of the entire household but we got into a bad habit of fighting. He said he knows no girl will ever love him as much as I did.

 

I plan on initiating complete no contact after I move out because he mentioned before that he knows I won't be able to not communicate with him in the future but mainly to help myself move forward and keep my head on straight. I chased him for quite awhile in our relationship after the honeymoon period died down and after the breakup I started to miss him and would hang around him a lot in the apartment which he enjoyed.

 

He was absolutely head over heels for me for a long time and we were together for two years and I moved to another state to get an apartment with him after being long distance. He told me after the breakup that he hasn't met anybody as great as me so I can't help but hope that feeling catches up with him and he realizes the grass isn't greener. Also he works very long hours so it would be hard for him to find another girlfriend. Thoughts?

I hope you're not moving because you think that's the surefire way to get the relationship back on track with him. It could go either way and no one can predict how it will turn out. He may settle into living alone and single life and realize breaking up was the best decision for him, or he may realize he can't live without you and come crawling back. Unfortunately, the latter happens more so in movies than in real life.

 

It sounds like he is indecisive about putting in the effort to make the relationship work but generally likes having you around.

No I am not moving out to try and repair the relationship but to try and wrap my head around things and what I want. He is only available to talk with me for two days out of the week so to a crazy schedule and we keep flip flopping between wanting to be together than not because after an entire week of not speaking it is hard to remain consistent on whether or not we wanted to be together.

 

The very last talk we had he had said that he whats to be with me very much but he thinks if we continued our relationship from here it would be a force and that we need time apart. I agree and decided to rip the bandaid off as fast as possible and I believe with time it will show where our love resides.
