Why did he share this with me?

[Anonymous]

This guy and I agreed that we loved each other, years after he cut contact with me. He recently found me on reddit, where he answers all my questions, insisted to me privately that he didn’t want to reject me and he told me that he can’t have a romantic relationship because he’s impotent. Why explain this after all this time?

Girl, that is super random and weird that he felt the need to tell you that so long after cutting contact. Like why even bring it up? A few thoughts:

- He may still have feelings for you and felt guilty keeping you at a distance without explaining why. Men can be weird about that stuff though.

- Could be looking for sympathy or validation by oversharing private issues. Like he wanted your reassurance maybe?

- Might see you as a safe person to confess something he's self-conscious about. But that's a lot to dump on someone out of the blue.

- Could be testing to see if you'd still be interested in him even with "limits." Feeling you out without fully committing yet.

Overall it just gives manipulative vibes honestly. I'd be wary of getting too pulled back in after he ghosted before. Def set clear boundaries - you deserve better than hot/cold mixed signals, sis! Don't let him play with your feelings.

Tread lightly with this dude. Actions speak louder than words and he ain't shown you much respect so far, ya know? Protect your peace girl!

He wanted to share. Does it really matter?

For the record, I think his 'impotent' excuse is bullshit.

Because he probably knows you want babies
