I know this isn't nearly as serious as some of the problems on here but I have nobody to talk to in real life so am just looking for some words of wisdom here!
I was seeing a man I'd known for a couple of years for around 3 months. Taking it slowly but all very lovely, he was SO into me and very affectionate. There were lots of practical things that worried me (like he had a child and a demanding job so didn't have much time for me, he basically would never be able to move cities or go on exotic holidays and I love to move around and travel etc) but I liked him enough that I was already thinking I'd be happy to give those things up to be with him.
So this morning he sent me a really long message saying he didn't want to continue the relationship and just saw me as a friend. He was very nice about it and apologised a lot. I told him that was fine and I understood.
Thing is, I just feel really gutted. He was the first person I've had strong feeling for for a long time. I know it was early days and I'm lucky it didn't go too far before it ended - and I never met his child. I can't sleep or eat or get that horrible feeling out of the pit of my stomach. I've been less upset when long term relationships have ended.
Any advice? Could really do with a hand to hold right now.
