Boyfriend - no contact = breakup
For context: Got into a relationship with a 48 year old man (I’m 38 year old woman) after we had been dating on and off since June 2021 to January 2022. He asked me in January if I wanted a relationship with him and I said yes. Things hit off very well. Communication and togetherness was even better than when we were dating. I was in the clouds. Then suddenly the excuses poured in. He’s busy, he’s tired, he has a woman stalking him etc. Then one week of no contact turned into 2.5 weeks of no contact and I had ENOUGH! So I texted …no response. I decided to pay him a visit at his home. He was there AND so was another car. But who’s car? Could this be another woman? I don’t know, maybe, possibly,I don’t know. Instincts says yes my mind says no. He has older kids 19 and 24….family….friends….so Who knows? So I called him while I waited in my car. No answer. I instantly grew heart broken. I became so sad. Lost of happiness lost of appetite loss of sleep. I texted him that I don’t think things are going to work. That I loved him and for him to take care of his self. Then drove off and cried every night since. Some days I eat some days I don’t. I’ve lost 10 lbs already. He hasn’t reached out to me at all. Today makes a total of 3 weeks. I don’t want him back. It just hurts so much that someone I cared about and that I loved did not have the decency to respect me enough to say the relationship is not what I can handle at moment. I expected more of him than what he gave. It’s baffling considering he’s pushing 50 and is still an immature coward. Pray for my swift break up recovery.

I will pray for you, North. I think that breakups that have no closure are among the toughest to process, and even though you clearly state that he didn't have the decency to respect you enough to be up front about whatever was going on with him, it doesn't make the pain any easier to bear. Hang in there. You deserve to get the things you need from a relationship.
