There was this guy (27m), let’s call him J. we weren’t “official” but we talked every day, hung out all the time, slept together, made plans like we were something. he’d tell me things like “you’re the only one I really connect with” or “I’ve never felt this comfortable with anyone.” and yeah, I caught feelings hard like I never pressured him. I never asked for a label even though I wanted one so bad, I thought if I was patient, he’d get there, then out of nowhere he starts pulling away. takes longer to text back, stops calling me “babe” or whatever little things we had and then one night he posts a pic on his story of him holding hands with some other girl at a concert, it was super hurt but I didn’t even say anything I just left him on read and it’s been weeks he never apologized. never explained nothing

now I feel so dumb like I’m grieving something that was never even real some friends are like “well you guys weren’t dating so you can’t really be mad” but it felt real to me I gave so much of myself, let my guard down, believed everything he said

so… AITAH for feeling broken over a guy who technically never called me his girlfriend?
