To feel hurt

[Oreosandmilk98]

For the last 7 months I have been seeing/sleeping with a man, we have a 25 year age gap, I’m 25 he’s 50 but we got on well. recently he only sends the odd text here and there. I would say ‘bread crumbing’ and I haven’t seen him in two months but he’s not making much effort anymore. I feel hurt by this

It’s run its course OP. He’s hoping you get fed up and back off

If you haven't seen him for two months, it's over.

Move on.

I think he's your ex.

Not unreasonable to feel hurt but he's your ex when you haven't seen him for two months.

I had an older guy do this to me and it fucks with you because you expect them to be more mature and fucks with you more when you officially end it to avoid them swanning back in one day and they act butthurt about it

But no physical contact when there's opportunities for it over 8 weeks- is an ex

Thank you, I thought so just felt confused. He just sends random texts like ‘finally home, long day at work’ (I never text first anymore) and then goes quiet for a while and then sends a random text again

Why was the age relevant? PS, if my 50 year old uncle was sleeping with a 25 year old I'd be wondering what the fuck was was he thinking?

Fuck sake OP come on now - begging for scraps from the table of someone old enough to be your dad??

You’re better than that, so act like it.

You're over and done with, but he likes the idea of having a young bird on the back burner. Just move on.
