Dear Louise: My boyfriend broke up with me because of the Covid-19 restrictions

While there’s never a perfect time to go through something like this, breaking up in the middle of a global pandemic has to rank amongst the worst.

I’m in my late twenties and my boyfriend has broken up with me. He claimed he felt he had to be physically there in order for me to be happy and it was too much pressure with the Covid lockdown restrictions. He didn’t want to feel responsible for my happiness.

My concern is this: now that it’s over, and I’ve had time to think about it, I’m petrified that a) I have pushed away a really great guy by being too open with my emotions, and b) maybe this was my last chance.
