My ex boyfriend deleted me from Facebook?

[CalM]

I dated a guy for around 15 months long distance (we met overseas and live in different states). We used to talk every day and see each other every 2 weeks.

I really love him as a person and adore his company it just felt like we were more like best friends than lovers. He didn't feel that way and was in love with me so I had to break it off as I didn't want him to change his life and move to where I live when I didn't see it being a 'marriage' sort of relationship.

I care about him deeply and he keeps contacting me but today he deleted me off Facebook. I understand it must be hurting him but facebook etc are the only ways we will ever have of communicating as it isn't like we will just bump into each other in the street. It wasn't a cruel break up or nasty but obviously he is very hurt.

I'm just really sad he has felt the need to delete me from communication considering the long distance thing. I really want to be friends. Am I selfish to think this?
