This question might be personal for me as I just broke it off with a guy who, might or might not, like me. We are not long distance but we mostly text. He’s been recently so hot and cold with me, supposedly because of his job (he’s a dentist) and studying (for his postgrad acceptance exam). I’ve been very understanding about this. I just asked him to give me a heads up before studying so at least I know he’s busy. There have been a couple of times where he went hours before saying anything (not because of studying or his job, we’re both healthcare workers so I don’t have time to talk to him during my job either) and I got upset. I told him it makes me upset. He apologises but goes and does it again. Soo yesterday, I just decided I had enough of it. I really really like him but I hate feeling hurt and unwanted all the time. I told him good luck with everything and that this is it for me, and said my good bye over text. He immediately replies and sends a bunch of “???” then 9hrs later he sends a long text apologising about how he did not mean to hurt me and it was never his intention. He also said “wish you the best wherever you are, (my name)❤️”. I guess I want to know what you men think of this and did I do the right thing. There is no animosity between me and him. I don’t hate him at all. I just wish he didn’t hurt me. submitted by /u/hcssat
