Search Results: if you blow off a guy

I was casually seeing someone for 6 months. Would hang out every other week but texted everyday. It felt like we formed a genuine friendship and He knew more about my day and life than anyone else really.

I never saw him as a future relationship tho due to our age difference. I’m 37 and he’s 23. But was enjoying the companionship and thought he was a really good guy.

Recently it seemed that maybe he didn’t view me the same as I viewed him. I would try to initiate getting together other than sex but he would kinda blow it off. So I ignored him a few days and then message him that we’re on diff pages and I’m gonna look for something else. He said “no hard feelings. I respect your decision and enjoying hanging with you. Good luck rest of the summer”.

Now I’m just feeling like this doesn’t sit right with me. 6 months of talking everyday and that’s the end? Would it be wrong to ask to meet and talk or is that too much and I need to just move on and get over it?

My ex and I went through a lot of fights. Regardless, we managed to make it work because of our strong emotions. Just before our breakup, it reached a point to where he was calling me names and bringing up my family, basically no respect left on his part & coming at me for little things like me saying “thanks” instead of “thank you.” I blew up on him eventually & mentally checked out. 1 day we got into a fight and he said he’d block me (something he does when he’s mad). I then accepted some requests from guys- i was really mad-on social media (didn’t message them and deleted them later. He found out and hell broke and also found platonic msgs between a male friend I’ve known for 5 years. Those msgs included funny memes. I stopped being friends w/ this guy for him. He asked to check my phone, I didn’t agree because he should trust me & wouldn’t want him to think it’s ok to check my phone whenever he feels the need in the future. We ended up breaking up. We kinda kept in touch though to reconcile. Weeks turned into months leading up to us meeting in person. As we were chatting, he told me his expectations which included he checks my phone, I agreed. Then he asks to see my male followers to ask how I know them. I told him some are friends (since HS) and he didn’t like that. He said he doesn’t like his girlfriend to have male friends & I should take off whoever he doesn’t like. I had a reaction and didn’t let him check my phone so ofc he had major issues. We never got back together but now we’re surfacing the relationship again he told me of the same expectations. I’m really conflicted and don’t know if getting back with given expectations are normal or not. Is getting back a good idea?
