Hello everyone. I am hoping to get some ideas here as my head is not clear at the moment. I have been seeing a guy for 3 months. We are both separated with children and a busy job, so we haven’t spent a lot time together in these 3 months. Everything was going very well and I was really happy, until last Friday evening. We were supposed to meet up on that evening but there was some issue from my side so I was hoping to discuss with him to figure out an alternative plan rather than not seeing each other at all. But he backed out and said he was very busy and very tired and suggested Saturday evening. I was disappointed but agreed on Saturday evening. Then heard nothing from him on Friday night nor Saturday morning. On Saturday morning I messaged and said good morning. He came back saying he would be busy all weekend but not mentioned evening plan. I asked and he said no he was not coming. He told me he needed to think about things and he didn’t feel he was in a great place but didn’t know what had changed. He didn’t have the urge to see me, but just asked for some time to clear his head.

I was very surprised thing turned opposite so quickly out of no reasons that I can see. If he needs times then that’s fine but there were no good night or good morning texts any more. Only a few saying he needs time when I asked what’s going on. I am a bit gutted as I thought there should be some basic appreciation of how that would have made me feel, and courtesy of odd messages. He never said he wanted to end the relationship either, just gone cold all of sudden and said there was not much to chat about until he can clear his head.

What’s going on?

Thanks you all for the messages. I did like him a lot and had hoped we would work out both being a parent, so he said. Although I was gutted and very disappointed, I sent him a text to say I put it down as it’s all happening too soon for his son and his well-being should be put as priority. I completely get it being a parent myself. If situation changes don’t be afraid to get in touch. If I don’t hear from him the good luck.

I think I got my answers now and can set my mind in peace at least. Thank you for all the support I get here
