i feel for you, totally understand know how much pain you’re in. That anxiety and insecurity that his withdrawal caused, it fed your fears and you reacted, making it worse so then he ended it for real. Some men cannot handle emotions, let alone being honest and having a conversation as they can’t take the pain they cause, so they distance themselves and run.

“We were only dating for 3 months, but it was instant attraction and a very emotional and beautiful romance that never really got to spread its wings and fly.”

That instant attraction and intense feeling type of relationship for me now IS a red flag. Usually it ends not so well.. 🙁

Anyway, the circumstances to your situation, his child – Is the major reason why things had to end, especially since he was moving. Eventually he will find a job and move to be closer to his child, rightfully so. Even though it hurts you and how he’s handled things, wasn’t right either.

Grieve the loss, let yourself cry. Time is on your side and all I can tell you (from recent experience) it will get better but you need to really push yourself not to sit and cry about him too long daily. Keep busy and surround yourself with close friends and family, people who can make you laugh and feel good about you.

Also, google and read up on ways to let go. Read all over this site and keep posting too. Venting is good for soul!
