Should I cut complete contact with my ex?

I just got dumped yesterday after 5½ years. He was crying on Skype telling me that lately things haven’t felt the same and we were growing apart. I didn’t think we were…but I guess for him he is since he’s so busy with the Army now and getting ready for a deployment this year. Yesterday when we Skyped we couldn’t talk without crying…

Tonight he texted me to see how I was doing. Then we skyped for a very short while like 5–10 minutes. I think I handled it well..we both didn’t cry or get emotional. Had a talk about how our day went and stuff..

He says he isn’t completely sure why his feelings aren’t the same anymore but he still wants me in his life. I’m not ready to ignore him completely. The skype chat didn’t even make me feel worse or better…maybe just a bit better seeing his face.

This is my first break up by the way.
