Search Results: how to get over a broken relationship

I started to see someone, (we've seen each other for 3 months). His life was getting very stressful, work demands, and a challenging negotiation over finances with his ex. He felt guilty for not giving me what I "deserve" and said he has no emotional reserves to deal with a relationship. He said he needed to get through February. He said if we are meant to be together we will be, said he won't be dating. Off and on he's said he doesn't want me to go away but also says he doesn't expect me to wait. He has a lot of great qualities that I would like in a long term relationship. I feel confused about whether he will get a hold of me in the near future and wonder if I should move on. Thoughts? I do believe he has a stressful life, it's not BS to get out of seeing me. But I also feel swept off my feet and dropped on my head. While I want to have compassion, I tend to put my needs last. At the same time, he's a super guy.. or am I kidding myself? PS I'm over 50 years old.

So this month on the 20th, it will be mine and my boyfriends 6 months together. Our relationship is fairly good. We get along great and laugh together a lot. Always have a good time when we're together. Yesterday was Valentines day and i got him a long sleeve t and socks from this brand he likes, a cartridge for his stiiizy, a custom keychain with our picture and our song on it, a collectible funkoPop, Cologne and lotion from bath and body works, i also got him Chocolate, little star wars candy collectables and snacks at the bottom and A sentimental card. He got me 6 LovePop pop-up cards. Unopened still in the plastic. He didn't write in any of them, sign them, or address them to me either. And that's it. No flowers, no chocolate, i was miserable and we went to his bowling game afterwards from 6-9pm and went home and went to bed. I'm heartbroken over this. I feel so unspecial, i feel unappreciated and just like sad. I do a lot for him and i expected a lot more. At least a sentimental card and flowers. He didn't offer to do our own separate day. Should i leave him? Is this something that normal people work past? I just think its common sense especially in a new relationship. Help.
