Was seeing a guy for about a month crazy chemistry and everything was so good then I brought up a real relationship he went abit weird and stopped seeing me and contacting me I called him out on it and we had an argument where he said things like he just didn't feel the same about me and there was no spark or connection so I just completely ghosted him and went on enjoying my life lastnight he sent me a text saying I've been going through a lot of shit lately that you don't know about and the way you came on strong about a relationship it made me scared so my reaction was to push you away I don't know why I do it but I always do when I'm under pressure and someone puts more on me so I didn't reply for a while I spent the whole day enjoying myself and thinking of what to say to be mature and understanding so I replied I never ever meant to add pressure to you we was only seeing eachother for a month but I understand it was never about the commitment for me all I ever wanted was your time now and again and that is all I would ever ask you for let's leave it in the past now though we don't have to ever speak about this again it's understood but with that being said what do we do now do we start again or cut our losses. He rang me a while later and told me he's been drinking a lot lately and basically his work is causing him stress (just started a new business / allready has a business aswell) and now two of his closest mates have been murdered which I had recently learnt just before this conversation so we spoke casually and then I said so did you read my message and he said yes so I said what do you want to do then and he said... obviously my heads not in the right place at the moment I've so much to process and I need to really sort my shit out when I'm with you my minds always on you and I need this time I'm just asking you to be patient and let me get my life back on track. Is this normal for a man to put of a relationship for these reasons? Should I give him the space to come back?
