I understand how you see things the way you do — but I see them differently. 😉 Maybe my perspective will help you understand how things turned out the way they did.
Your boyfriend of five months wanted more of a commitment than you were willing to give him, so he moved on. It’s really that simple. The details that you’re hanging on not really as important as the fact that he wanted more than you did, and you didn’t have compatible time frames. That was it!
I know you feel that he should have been more detailed with you about what he was really feeling and doing, but because you weren’t as close as he wanted, and his needs weren’t being met, he took care of himself and moved on. Since your relationship was only five months old, his moving on wasn’t so much him being a jerk, as it was his taking of himself when he realized the two of you had an incompatibility that was a deal breaker for him. Dating is the way you figure these things out. He did, and he saved you a lot of time and energy by doing so.
When people take a break in a relationship, it’s usually their way of breaking up. Of course this depends on the circumstances and the length of the relationship, but that’s what he was doing — moving on.
For now, take what you’ve learned here, and move on. He’s with someone else, and you get to find your Mr. Right. 😀
