I posted the other day wondering if I was having anxiety about a new relationship with a guy I met online. Long and short is that I made it clear I wasn't sure if I was ready for a new relationship but was happy to take things slow and see how it went.
After meeting him again yesterday I had decided to say that I don't think I could continue seeing him in a romantic way. He knew I was making no promises but he said some hurtful things to me. I'm gutted because despite this I thought he was the loveliest person I'd ever known.
He admits to me today that every Sunday when he takes his child home, he goes to the pub and can't stop drinking. As a result he gets paranoid and overthinks which is why he was horrible last night. Prior to this I had noticed he was a bit strange on a Sunday night.
I've said I wish he'd told me in the beginning as it would have been a deal breaker anyway. Now I've offered to be there for him as a friend to support him get the help he needs.
Is this the right thing to do? I feel sorry for him now
