Situationship breakups?

[Sebby84]

I ended a nearly 1 year relationship id tried to figure out his intentions a few times and got nowhere so carried on hoping it would work out…. after all this time he said he doesn't want a relationship how after this long with someone can this be how you feel has anyone had this happen before? I feel heartbroken and part of me hopes he realises and comes crawling back realising we had a really good thing

Been there before, so I sympathize with you. It sucks when a guy doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. But all you can really do is use this as an opportunity to learn, and let it be an example of what not to do in the future. It sounds like the red flags were there, but you disregarded them based on your strong feelings for him and hope that he would want more after so much time passed. But that’s a woman’s way of thinking, and men in his position can be perfectly fine and unmoved about being in a situationship. They aren’t as emotional and don’t create the ties that we do unless they intentionally want to, and this guy didn’t. You can’t get back the time you invested and I know it’s disappointing/hurtful not to be rewarded for sticking around. But it is what it is, so stop waiting around for begging and groveling— he’s not gonna do that and you know it. So let him go, heal, and move on.

I know it feels that way, and unfortunately there’s no getting around that part. Just remind yourself that this was for the better. You want a relationship, and should invest your time into someone who reciprocates.
