The guy that i'm dating said he needs space for three months to figure things out, is this another way of saying he wants to break up with me?

The guy that i'm dating said he needs space for three months to figure things out and clear his head. He said he wants to marry me but now suddenly he feels doubtful and pulls away from me. He said that he still likes another girl and will likely chase her. Is he saying that he is breaking up with me?

[OlderAndWiser]

Most lkely, he is already pursuing the other girl (if not aleady having sex with her) and he wants to break up without going through the break up process. He has this convenient cover story about wanting a break but it is a disingenuous ruse. It is very rare that you make progress in a relationship by voluntarily spending time apart.

Sorry, but you need to accept this and then start the process of moving forward.

Live it and find out. All men are different.

Three months? That's very specific. Give him all the space he wants and just move on. I don't understand how someone expects you to wait for them after three months just move on my dear you're too young to compromise to someone like that and that boy is just wasting your time.

Yes it is. He may not know that consciously but, it is. You can fight for it or you can move on, I won't give advice on that bc it depends on things I do not know, but if I DID give advice it would be to move on. JMO and, sorry to hear this happened!

He's evaluating his options. Treat it like a break up, don't expect him to come back but if he does, make sure you have higher expectations of him for moving to "the next level" make sure that includes him giving you financial support and emotional support.

It’s not breaking up. No. But if you’re over it. Then tell him it’s over or wait 3 months and see what happens

It's his way of saying he's going to rail other girls and wants you to wait until he's done
