Please bare with me about my story. I know that the default reaction is "You should have known better" or "Isnt it obvious?" but there is much more to it.

So, I met a man last year who asked me out. He is older and has his own business so always busy. Anyway,we met and talked for a while and then he invited me over to his place and I felt a deep chemistry(same things in common,grew up in the same country yada yada) I really got tired of the "Pretty Woman"references because I made it clear to him that I liked him for reasons other than his econ stats as I have never been the type of woman to choose a guy for those reasons.

I digress. He was very eagar to sleep with me and I regretfully did give in later on. Ever since then, we started to meet less often(he says he is overwhlemed with work and things are going on in his company)We barely saw each other in the summer(he keeps making plans and cancelling and also barely ever calling--as he once did in the beginning)However, we met again in October and everything was fine.He planned to meet me and take me out for my birthday which was a month later.But he was in Punta Cana on a resort when I called him two weeks prior to my birthday. I thought he was going on a business trip. Then one day before my birthday he said"Hi baby I am delayed and still not back in town. What are you doing for your birthday? I wasnt sure we were meeting but next week looks better xoxo"I got very angry and told him he confirmed to meet on the 20th and send him alot of emotional texts and calls. He finally told me"sorry I am just burntout, I will call you tomorrow, happy birthday".But he never called and I continued my emotional outbursts until a week later he said"As I mentioned I am burntout" and that he is going through something that will take 2-3 months in his work and is even isolated from friends and family.I tried to understand so now its Feb and the last time I heard from him was on New Years he texted me saying "Happy New Year, miss you and love you baby"What should I do at this point? I did message him quite a bit since then asking for a proper explanation or at least a call, I even typed an email message that was supposed to be sent to myself about all the things I was unhappy about in the relationship but accidentally sent it to him(not knowing if he ever read it cause he never said anything) I asked him why he is being so cruel and if he understands what he is doing to me. The last time I texted him was on Feb.14 to wish him a Happy Valentines Day. Is this his cowardly way of letting me go? Am I a rebound? Or do you think he is serious about these obligations? I am really confused at this point. Its even interfering in my school-work life and I barely have an appetite these days. I dont think I have cried so much before..

Cut your losses. He is seriously playing games. If he cares like he claims to, he would make time for you. Did it ever occur to you that he may have someone else? Don't let him lead you on any further. He is an ******* and he doesn't even deserve you or any of your time and emotions.
