To be annoyed / confused he’s on bumble

I was seeing someone for around 7 months. He has a busy lifestyle, own business, son, other responsibilities. At first I felt he made a real effort to see me and then things changed and I was the one initiating all our catch ups. I started to feel unimportant and asked him what was happening. He referred to me as a friend who he just met up with on occasion! For context… we had been intimate, shared deeply personal stuff and really got on. I basically said I wanted to feel like I was worth putting some time aside for otherwise maybe we should call it a day. He said he didn’t have more time, so it all ended.
2 months later… I’m swiping on bumble and he shows up as a new member. This is the man who didn’t want a relationship and said he didn’t have time to spend with me!
I’m confused, and bloody hurt.
I can only presume he’s either looking for hookups, or a younger, hotter woman!

Don't give him any more headspace. He isn't worth the investment of your time.

Agree with PP don't even give him another thought, he's really not worth it.

I wouldn’t even think about it. You had a thing, it didn’t work out. There’s nothing to be gained by thinking about this.

He just wasn’t that interested in you. He’s hoping to find someone now that he’s more interested in, or just someone to shag. Forget about him, not worth it!

As the others have said, he’s not interested in a relationship with you. It certainly doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you - it’s simply not a match & he didn’t have the guts to end it honestly.

If you want a relationship, don’t waste months on wishy washy men. If he doesn’t want to discuss being serious then he’s just not it.

Just doesn’t want a relationship with you - move on. He has.

And quite possibly even if he did hook up with someone else he'd treat her exactly as he did you.
