Split up with my ex 5 weeks ago. We were only going out for 6 months. No hard feelings between us. I ended it as the guy had a really busy life and was very chaotic with his teenager, who he has 50% custody of. It just wasn’t working, more situational than anything else. We both said we still liked each other, but the situation was not ideal. He had too much going on to give me what I needed.
He lived 30 mins drive, both busy social lives and really didn’t get time to see each other with work and lives. He also has a challenging relationship with his ex and child. They are always fighting and his child refuses to see him a lot. This obviously put the guy in low moods. He loves his child and I have witnessed the fights between his ex. Both not perfect, but his ex is a bit unstable. However, he never really opened up to me about things , until now. He has great friends who support him.
We have maintained sporadic contact and met up once to get our stuff back. This weekend he posted something on Facebook that was a cry for help / bit worried. I texted and asked if ok and he opened up to me about the whole situation. More than the 6 months we were together. Sort of understood the impact this would have on a person. He is being proactive getting mediation arranged.
I offered advice and he keeps texting me telling me stuff. Now I am getting texts asking how I am. Back to contact on what it was before we split up. Lots of kisses at the end.
So wise people. Is this a man who just needs someone to listen? Or interested in rekindling?
