Hi all, having a tough time battling through some emotions.
The guy I'm dating recently found out his mum has breast cancer. She's now had the op and everything has gone well.
We had been dating for a couple of months telling me how perfect we are for eachother having lovely days out etc.
When he found out I was supportive and he said he'll stay open with me.
Has time has gone on he's got so distant. One minute he says he wants to see me and the next he's cancelling and wants space. I really want to help and give him a cuddle. I know our relationship is the last thing on his mind and needs his space. I'm just confused with his change of mind and cold shoulder. I message once a week to let him know I'm thinking of them offer to help etc but he never replies.
I was thinking of asking him how much time he needs but I suppose he won't actually know.
Any advice? :(
I'm really trying to stay strong for him but my heart shatters everytime he ignores me

No love, he's saying it loud and clear, and anyway, he's showing you that the first instant of a problem. He'll cut you off without a second thought

He's not good enough for you. He needs to lose you over this.

Move on. Delete his details

Your reply should be thanks but no thanks.

I think he's being fairly honest with you OP, he can't commit to you and doesn't want to be with you, why on earth would you consider waiting on him. I think you should move on.

AnyFucker · 25/07/2017 06:22

You've been dumped

Get some self respect and move on

JK1773 · 25/07/2017 06:45

He's dumping you by not saying the actual words. Cowardly. Don't wait for him, you'd be waiting forever

Ellen28 · 25/07/2017 09:37

Thanks all for replies. I never was set on waiting just wanted to see what opinions are 😊. He finally admitted he apparently 'wouldn't have been a good bf if we had continued'. More like becausue he doesn't like me anymore 🙄. I know it's his loss not mine. I stood by him and there for him. It does make me wonder what is wrong with me? Why string me along like I'm not good enough? :/

There's nothing wrong with you at all. It has happened to me several times (I think it might be happening again now) and it seems quite common. Sometimes things just don't work out and one person doesn't feel it, it's then hard for that person to admit it to the other. He's the one that has something wrong with him, he shouldn't have strung you along, he should have been honest a long time ago. Don't let it get to you too much, you will meet someone else and move on.

You are plenty good enough. He is the one that is a bit shit. But do remember you wouldn't want him to hang on if he wasn't fully committed and he doesn't owe you a relationship if he isn't feeling it

Onto the next

Sorry but I still think he's making excuses. Personally I would ignore his text.
Try to imagine if it was you and you were really really keen on someone, would you put them off like this?
I just don't think he's that into you, sorry.

@ellen28

Of course you're good enough. This guy just isn't for you. Would you want to waste your time on him when an even more amazing guy could the one for you?

Not every guy you date/meet is gunna be the one for you, you're gunna date guys that seem great but turn out to be shits. It's how it goes, it's life. You just pick yourself up, shake it off and get on with it.

You're gunna meet him, just be patient.

Xxx
