    have been with this guy for a year and a half. I never met his friends or his family. When I ask to meet his parents his reply is always the same, “mom is sick, she has really bad vertigo. My dad doesn’t want to leave my mom.” I thought our relationship was great in the beginning because we worked together. Everyone we worked with, told me to not give him the time of day because they didn’t like his overly confident, hardworking, and blunt personality. He met my entire family. We went on multiple dates. It took a while for him to ask me out for each date. We only had sex twice. He lives an hour away. Things changed when he got a new job. His new job came with crazy hours. His new job was also very stressful. That’s when we stopped seeing each other in person. We texted every day and through out the day. Our conversations never changed. We were each other’s cheerleaders. However, he never texted me when he would get home from work. He told me he was too tired to let me know he was home, “I get home at 3am or 4am, I’m exhausted from work. I get home and pass out.” He never texted me on his days off. I would always learn he was with friends the next day. Is it that difficult for him to let me know he is home or busy with friends? Recently, I started questioning on where we are at in our relationship. His reply was always, “your in your head too much. I told you my hours were crazy. You know my job is stressful. Is someone telling you to not trust me because I’m not around?” I’m getting the “I’m being annoying vibe.” I recently sent him a text asking to talk about our relationship. He told me to “cut him loose because he isn’t there with me and not spending enough time with me as much as we would like. He also said, “I’m not being an inadequate boyfriend that can’t provide for your needs.” My therapist says he is gaslighting me. My one friend says there are just a lot of holes and red flags in his communication. I just recently broke up with him and I feel horrible about it.

    You did the right thing. It was time for you to move on.. no need to feel bad or hv second thoughts. U gave enough time and chances. He just wasnt committed to this relationship. Pls mourn over the end of this relatnship, heal and get on with your life. You did the right thing! And just a piece of suggstion.. try to cut off completely from this man and no stalking online. It will help you to move on faster. Take care.

    He made excuses almost from the start. He only wants a relationship with someone with a lot of space and distance, so that’s what he gave you and how he behaved. That’s not about you, it’s about him as a failure of a bf. So assuming he was telling you the truth, he’s actually correct and there’s nothing for you to second guess or hold on to here. He’s always going to leave you wanting and won’t make you happy because you have different needs. And who wants to be with someone who never shows up?? What’s even the point of that.

    The other option is he had another relationship and did gaslight you. Never meeting his friends or family and being an hour away is very suspect. But I’ve known people who do this because they don’t have good relationships with anyone in their lives and stay distant from everyone, rather than it’s 100% a sign of cheating. But anyone who told you it’s a giant red flag either way is right.

    Do what Tammy says. No contact, no regrets, no social media, move on from him.

    You did the right thing, he probably has a girlfriend and it wasn’t you.
