I need honest male perspectives. A man let me get very close to him for months. He made me believe I was important to him. He said he felt very close to me and even told me he loved me. Then suddenly he pulled back. I suspect he met another woman and started getting to know her. When I asked him about it, he turned it back on me. He said he doesn’t know what he wants, and he more or less walked out without real explanation — even though just days before he had told me how much I meant to him. I was in a very vulnerable period of my life, and he knew that. That makes it even harder. I feel deeply hurt and very disappointed. The difficult part is that I cannot fully avoid him. We have to see each other several times a week for reasons outside of our control. My questions to men: How can I behave in a dignified and strong way toward him, even if inside I feel broken? What kind of behavior from a woman in this situation would command at least minimal respect in your eyes? How can I truly let him go when I feel betrayed and replaced? I don’t want revenge. I want to keep my self-respect. But right now, it’s very hard. submitted by /u/Witty_Scientist123
