I’m stuck in what some may call a “situationship”. I met this guy who I’ve gotten along with so well. He was consistently showing me interest, complimenting me, telling me he wants to date me one day. We’ve kissed and hugged and shared many secrets. He was gentle, caring, and really seemed to like me. He even pushed hard to meet my family and impress them, which did happen.
Then recently, it switched. He’s been more friend-like. The compliments stopped. The dates stopped. The enthusiasm stopped. But he still calls me everyday. And I couldn’t help but cry when I told him that I felt he was treating me differently. I’m sensitive :/. He reacted with frustration, vague answers, and compared me to his ex multiple times (despite me telling him that it hurts to hear that). In the middle of me crying, he would say he’s tired in an angry voice and would go to bed. But then the next morning would act like nothing happened. He even spam called me one night just to say good night, and left a message saying he’s doesn’t know if I’m upset with him or not. I was just taking an exam but I don’t understand why he would spam call me if he wasn’t interested in some way. So many mixed signals.
That is all to say, I KNOW he’s not treating me well. But it’s so hard to get out of it. There was so much potential. But I want to be treated with respect and I don’t want to pursue someone who isn’t sure about me. It’s hurting me and I’m scared to end it. I’m scared of his reaction, I’m scared of the hurt I’ll feel. I’ve been going through a very difficult time lately (unrelated to this) and I’m worried this will make my despair much worse.

You sound amazing. He sounds like a user.
I think you need to make clean break and move on. Sounds like he used you for some purpose to temporarily serve some need for himself but whatever that need was it has passed. He was feeding you what you wanted to hear so you would give him what he needed at that moment but it was not the real him.
This is not healthy at this point. With a beautiful soul like yours, you will find the right guy who won't let you down like that. You deserve better.
honestly, I just cut them out. I enjoy cutting off people who are rude to me and I have no issue with it. Block, delete, move on and live your life happily.
exactly, don't sweat people that treat you poorly. your life will be way less stressful that way
If someone is not treating you well, getting over them should be very easy indeed.
I wish I knew. A girl treated me horribly (it could be argued I deserved it), and I probably find her more attractive now.
Some kind of Stockholm syndrome.
Block them and move on
Just dump him and find someone new.
Breakup is the solution
