Feeling nervous think he is going to end it this evening

So been seeming a great man for a few months, but he has been a bit distant lately, think it's mostly because he is really busy but I'm worried that it's more than just busy. I have backed off to try and give him some space but it's hard to avoid him as we live in a small Village and so keep bumping into each other. He has asked to see me this evening which normally I would be excited about to catch up with him but for some reason my instincts tell me he may dump me.... Don't know what to do, I really like him. Just don't know how to behave when I see him, would you pretend you think everything is fine or would you ask him out right straight away if he is wanting to finish it?

I'm sorry you're hurting 💐 but I'm not sorry you're out of this before it got any deeper.

He's either full of bullshit or is too stupid/weak/dense for you to date anyway. Total crack of crap about his 4 yo blaming him.

I'm sorry you're stuck with him still being around so much, but try to get angry & see him for the twerp he is. It makes it easier to deal with.

I've just seen this, but please don't blame yourself.

Children have close people that come and go all the time. Teachers, friends, neighbours.

It's how you handle it.
Why can't his son be your son's friend anyway, if you move in similar circles?
Maybe talk to him about it?

Don't give up on having another relationship.

So he's breaking it off because his ex left him for someone else a year ago? And he thinks his 4yo may blame him for that some time in the future ?

That's the most pathetic made up excuse I've heard in a long time.

I fully agree.

She's left him and their family is already broken up.

Is he teaching his child that when you get cheated on you should wait around for the cheater to come back to you?

My view ...
● He's clearly not over the Ex.
● He's scared of a relationship with you because of the closeness and mutual circles and it would be awkward
● Or ... it's an excuse because he's only
wanting a casual thing and doesn't want
hurt you.

o hurt you

I'm sorry it turned out this way.
But better earlier on than when you were even more invested.
Block, delete, ignore.
Cool, snippy, nod and hello when you see him and that's that.

You will move on.
But just be you for now and be there for DC.
If a man comes along so be it. If not then you've lost nothing.

Thank you, he has admitted that he isn't over his ex, his words 'although our relationship wasn't the best I guess I just still yearn for my family back'
It's unfair as when the 6 of us were hanging out together I felt so complete, I saw a side to my DC that I have never seen before, he is so caring and protective over the other boy. Just gutted that the feelings weren't reciprocated. I know it will just take time to move on but it's hard
