Genuinely interested in others opinions here

If you started seeing a guy who a month in told you that he was moving overseas in 6 months time, would you call it a day, or see where thing lead

(assume you would not be in any position to go with him and might end up very hurt 6 months down the line)

My first thought would be that he's lying and trying to break up!

Singlenotsingle · 05/03/2019 10:33

I'd call it a day, unless six months companionship is all you need.

pudding21 · 05/03/2019 10:33

I think I'd tell him to go and be free while you are away and vice versa and keep in touch if you both want and see how things pan out. After a month I wouldn't be committing myself to anything or expect someone else too.

He wants a six month affair. Is possibly on secondment and goes home then.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 05/03/2019 10:34

I wouldn’t believe him sorry, I’d think he has a wife/long term partner and is saying this so he can have his fun and then move on

Shadow93 · 05/03/2019 10:37

Sounds a bit opportunistic like maybe he wants six months no strings if that's not what you want then say goodbye sooner rather than later before you end up feeling completely used

MiniTheMinx · 05/03/2019 10:40

I'd give it a miss. Why risk getting attached to him.

NeatFreakMama · 05/03/2019 10:50

If he's moving full time overseas and you'd not be interested in following I'd call time.

Easterbunnyiscomingsoon · 05/03/2019 10:51

How did you meet?

NameChangeNugget · 05/03/2019 15:39

I’d think he was spineless and can’t say I’m ending it directly

Oct18mummy · 05/03/2019 15:41

Depends what you want from the relationship

FinallyHere · 05/03/2019 15:42

Would you happy to consider it like. Holiday romance ? If not, drop him.

CoolJule43 · 05/03/2019 15:59

I'd call it a day. I'd also wonder if he was telling me exactly so that I would call it a day. Maybe he wants to stop seeing you and is too gutless to tell you so putting the onus on you by making up a story about moving abroad.
