So my ex dumped me a week ago, we were dating around 4 months. He was only 2 months split from ex wife when we met but said the marriage broke down long before, he had stayed so long for DC. They mutually agreed to split now while DC is only 4.
He was staying at a friends spare flat while waiting to rent his own place and we had amazing times. As soon as things started to get serious between us at the 4 month mark, he moved into his own flat, and began to have break downs. He'd tell me how he misses his family unit. That threw me off because things had been going so well between us, I had met his family and DC. He said he was so confused because he liked me so much. He couldn't understand why he was thinking about them (ex and dc) I thought he was fine because he got to see DC lots during the week but he said it was killing him not being with DC everyday. He said that everytime he picked up DC, it hurt him thinking about all the memories at the family home. He said ex wife doesn't want him back and said he needs to be with me for a fresh start, wants him to be happy etc.
So he dumped me a week ago saying he couldn't be with me right now while he's having these break downs. The last time I saw him was a few days ago to pick up some belongings from his flat and kept apologising and said "this isn't easy" He looked very tired. He said he can't stop thinking about me but needs to do this etc. He said in a few weeks if I'm single, once his head is straight, he'd like to meet for dinner. I'm deciding to go no contact even though he's not the type to harass me anyway. I'm hoping he will come back to me but I also feel like he tried to dump me gently? By saying in a few weeks if I'm single we could meet. Why would he say that?
