Dumped today

I’m not sure what I’m posting for, except I’ve no talk to.

Just had a short relationship after 14 years on my own (last 7 years completely single).

I did think his “heart wasn’t in it” but he did and said all the right things. Suddenly, on Sunday he decided it was official and put our relationship on FB and replied to every comment in a cheery way.

This morning he said he wasn’t interested and we could just be friends. I said I didn’t want that (in that I wanted to be a girlfriend) and I’m now dumped and blocked.

Just feel a bit numb.

There were things that were a little bit strange (with hindsight!) The first time I met him, I presumed he was gay and our sex life would certainly have reflected that (if he is).

He was a bit over the top with the “you’re so wonderful” comments at first but I didn’t think anything of it.

Sounds like he love bombed you.

Good riddance and a lucky escape. Use the experience and move on. Build yourself back up and don't let the bawsacks outnumber the good guys.

Well, he does sound like he could be gay.
Do you find yourself avoiding intimacy?
Could you have been attracted to him for the impossibility if it?

Well he's an arse.

Onwards and upwards lass!

Also (and I’ll sound like a prat now) he’d taken to sort of interviewing me about my past. This was in the last week or so. Almost rooting out problems.

Eventually last night I was almost made to spell out a rape I went through decades ago and he said “I’m not like that”. That’s all he said!

Then dumped me this morning.

It sounds like you had a lucky escape.
But rejection is still hard. Can you do anything nice for yourself - by a new outfit/book/hobby item?
Someone better will come along and in the mean time be kind to yourself

Pics - no, I’m all for a bit of intimacy!!!
