BlueIris Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I was emailing with a man on an OLD site and in the course of our exchange, he said that he had been in a 10-month relationship that ended in January. He said that it hadn’t been ideal, that he hadn’t been over the top about her, the relationship lacked some fundamentals and he had looked beyond some things that weren’t great and made the most if it. He was unhappy with how she had ended it because it was abrupt and he had thought she would talk things over with him if something was wrong. So, my reaction to this was to be sad for her, that he hadn’t felt or thought enough of her and that he felt being with her was a compromise for him. I would feel terrible if my boyfriend felt that way about me and if I knew that was how he felt, I wouldn’t want to be in that relationship. Also, I probably wouldn’t tell him why I was ending it either, because really, what would you say and what’s the point? Any thoughts on this?
pteromom Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I agree with you. Relationships are difficult when both people really really want to be with each other. There's no point in being in one where the other person is "meh" about you. It is possible though that he is convincing himself of his lack of interest after the fact, to make the end of the relationship easier to get past. 1
