This post has made me feel so much better about my situation. My boyfriend and I got together (after 3 years) in May and it was really great. But I know things were hard for him as he was struggling at work, very stressed and anxious about life but he was speaking about what’s been going on to me. About a month ago his Dad fell ill and he stopped contacting me, I messaged him to say he obviously wanted space to deal with it on his own and he appreciated that. He didn’t reply when I asked how his Dad was a week later and when we eventually spoke a week after that he told me that he flipped out at work and the doctor at the hospital said he was on the verge of a breakdown. After this I didn’t hear from him.

I felt very upset that he could tell me that he was on the verge of a breakdown and then not consider my feelings. I decided to send him an email a week ago to say that I needed to concentrate on me and my stress and self esteem and he clearly isn’t able to handle a relationship right now as he isn’t letting me in at all. He didn’t acknowledge the email which I was ok with. Then I had a car accident at the weekend which thankfully I am totally fine but I messaged him to tell him, as he was the person I wanted, and he’s just blatantly ignored my message. I was feeling incredibly upset and hurt that even though he had a lot going on 9as far as I am aware anyway) he didn’t even want to know how I was after an accident.

I have decided to get him out of my life by deleting his number and getting rid of him on social media to help myself move on. I’m so confused by his selfish, uncaring behaviour towards me (when I know he’s still seeing his friends) but this post has made me feel so much better and is giving me the courage to continue without him.
