How do I mentally prepare to be ghosted or dumped?

I might be over reacting. I'm just scared. I've been dating this guy for about 6 months now. He's been studying for this super big test and took it today. He read my message and simply keeps looking at my snapchat stories but he's not talking to me.

I'm afraid that he's going to cheat, replace, or dump me. I've been loyal and tried to put my needs and worries to the side this whole time. We talk a little bit every day with a few messages back and forth but now... I'm scared maybe one of his many female friends caught his interest and he decided to string me along or something.

Please someone reassure me and talk some sense into me... or if you think he's going to dump or ghost me... give me advice to sooth the impending heart ache. I've been so loyal and loving to this man for 6 months. It will devastate me.

I think you're over reacting. You said he had a huge test. If he's done with it, he may be decompressing... that's how I deal with stress... I don't want to talk to anyone because my brain is fried. Or he may not be feeling great about it and doesn't want to answer a bunch of questions and just wants to chill.

I don't think based on this you're going to be dumped or ghosted, I do think he's taking some personal time. Show you are and give him space, don't force a conversation or make him feel like you NEED him to talk to you... that is super unattractive.

Breathe... enjoy the day yourself! Good luck!

Guys, every married or cohabiting guy I know said the sex dried up as soon as she locked them down. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever commit!

[hahahmm]

Just imagine that how you feel about 1 day is how he feels about 3-7 days. So it seems like a long time to you but not to him.

Just call him up but don't accuse him of anything. See what he says.

Why sweat it he’s not worth the drama and the stress

Because I put my heart and soul into the relationship hoping once he finished his test... he'd be happy i waited, see how much I love him and care... and I hope appreciate me.

Is this an Internet relationship this stuff happens all the time? You can’t take guys seriously when they’re young little babies. That’s another reason why girls date older guys

[Asker]

He's 27 and we've seen each other a few times in person. He's an hour & 1/2 away roughly.

Well the hand writing is on the wall what are you gonna do drive over to his house and beg him for Mercy and then he will feel sorry for you for a couple days then he’ll go back to the same old stuff. 👻

Something tells me that you didn't read a thing

[Iron_Man]

I read enough to know that it’s pointless and you probably met him off the Internet

Don't prepare for it and just deal with it, if it ever happens.

Well if he moves on, he's not right for you
