I know I’m completely a bad person for this.
I’ve been seeing a guy for 6 months he lives in the same building as me so breaking up will be awkward. We struck up a conversation one day realised we’d both got out of long term relationships around the same time. Since then we’ve spent a lot of time together he’s really nice. He’s asked to be in a relationship multiple times. I’ve said no as it’s not even a year since my last relationship ended and I just don’t want to be in a serious relationship or feel stuck again.
I know how hurt he was from his previous relationship and he tells me how up until he met me he felt low and lonely and had no hope in meeting anyone else ever. So this will really affect him.
This last month I’ve realised I don’t see a future with him and I feel we only connected because of our similar situation but he’s already planning Christmas together and a future. I don’t know if it’s just bad timing and maybe he could be ‘the one’ but I don’t want to marry myself off to the first person I meet post break up and it feels this way. Also I feel I’ll be alone forever as I’d feel so awkward if I ever did meet someone else knowing he’ll know as he lives across the hall.
