…to have walked away from him?

I walked away from possibly the love of my life. Someone who sees me for who I am and appreciates me. The complicated backstory is we’re both in the process of leaving difficult relationships (with children) and for now have been friendly. We meet once a week to have lunch and catch up on life. It’s been 9 months and we didn’t intend to fall for each other but life happened.

I feel like I’m everything to him when we spend those hours together and a lot less when we’re apart. No calls, hours between texts, even if we don’t get a chance to see each other in the week. I’ve voiced my concerns - that the emotional connection lacks when we’re apart, but he says he’s trying his best and that life gets busy.

so today I felt frustrated and told him that I’m done. That I’m not prioritised and he’s well aware of how considerate I am regarding his time. A call once a week or voice notes here and there isn’t hard. He says that he gives me all the affection when we’re in person and that I should trust how he feels about me.

I don’t believe I’m asking for much but hate that I can’t have a proper conversation with him, unless it’s scheduled or we meet in person.

AIBU?!

It doesn't sound as if he has fallen for you at all.

He's happy the way things are- a weekly lunch date.
