So I began talking to this guy in the beginning of October. He seemed like a really great guy. He talked about the breakup and divorce with his ex a lot. She left him for his best a friend a year ago. Divorce was just completed in June. He had one girlfriend since. It was right after his ex left him or at least a few months later. It lasted a couple of months but he dumped her because he found out she was talking to her ex behind his back. Granted that was his take on everything. He was the victim in all his breakups which he talked about on our date. And we were talking talking. But then he got to where he wasn’t making time to see me. I brought it up. He said he would work on it but he wanted to keep talking.
He got distant a week in October. Came back and apologized and said it was the one year his wife left him and he was handling it rough. I talked to him. He swore he was over her and ready to date.
In November I backed off communication. He disappeared for a week and a half. I came back to find out why he hadn’t reached out any. Not even to wish me a Happy Thanksgiving. I kind of told him I was into consistency. He then told me he was having depression issues and wasn’t talking to anyone. It was almost as if he didn’t cared if I stuck around. So I tried everything that week to be there. Probably all the wrong things and he ghosted. He ghosted me for two weeks. After several messages I got him to talk to me again. He told me why he ghosted. So I tried hard not to do that. I tried to be whatever he needed without pressuring him. I thought things were going well. Then after a week he ghosted again. So after several messages I told him this time if he ghosted then I was done. I really liked him but I couldn’t do the disappearing and ghosting. That’s not fair to me. That I didn’t deserve it. I didn’t do anything wrong. And I wasn’t going to chase after him this time.

He is not ready for relationship. He sounds like he needs a year to get the rebound girl out the way. I am guessing but two of my friends went through that after a divorce. It takes awhile to get right again.
40md here. Based on what you’re saying, he’s not moved on, or is otherwise not ready. It takes time. Sounds like he jumped right into new relationships. He probably needs a year or two before he’d be “ready”
