He's 35 and I'm 37. We've been seeing each other for a couple months now. Felt a really deep connection. He really pursued me from the start. However, he was in a situation that I wasn't comfortable with.
Supposesly, he and his ex broke up last year, and when he and I met, he was supposed to be moving out in 6 weeks. I, myself, had to live with an ex years ago so I did have some understanding to this.
However, when he's around her, he can't talk to me. He kept insisting that they're not together, but that she's mentally not well and quite abusive to him, so he avoids the possibility of her having anything to be angry about.
This kept eating at me at times, but I eat patient for when he said he would be getting out of there.
He left about 2 weeks ago. We've been able to talk much more and even had him over a few times. Then came this weekend. He wanted to visit his son. Cool. He told me he won't be staying the night there. Cool.
8 Hours pass and he sends a few quick texts that he's staying the night with his son (her place) and I hear nothing back from him for 24 hrs.
Eventually I messaged and told him that this is over. I can't do it. He begs me to believe him, that nothing is going on. That he's been super busy and it was a stressful day, etc.
I told him, "I'm good, thanks"
Some people think I'm being the AH because he may legitimately be scared of how she will react. Trying to hold his son away from him and such. I have seen these things happen to people before.
At the same time, this is taking a toll on me mentally and emotionally, because if I truly care about someone, no one stands between them and I. I can't go am entire weekend without talking to my person, especially for the sake of someone else.
I feel like I'm being played. That maybe he's not over her, if he can truly leave me hanging like this knowing how it's affecting me. I've yet again not heard anything from him because he's there with her.
Please wait...
