Met a surgeon a few years back when I was his student (same age, I went to uni later). Spoke on and off over the years.
We've been talking daily for 6 months. Initially a sex thing, then he began mentioning a relationship. There was emotional intimacy and I supported him through some work and heslth difficulties. We live far from each other but met up once at a work thing.
He's very self involved. Everything is about him. If he was busy or in a mood, he had no time for me. If I was ill, he wouldn't ask how I was. If he was ill, he'd send me texts every day about how bad he felt.
We ultimately fell out because he couldn't spare any time for me during my 10 day trip to his city for work. He called things off, got annoyed I was upset, said some very cold things and and blocked me. I stupidly chased him by sending apologetic messages - all ignored.
That was last Weds. My friends are all convinced he'll be back...I'm not. It really seems like he's ditched me and it has hurt a lot.
Do these men return? I'm trying to move on and I've just beaten the acutely painful bit.
Worried he'll reappear just when I've got back to a good place.
