    [quote=”April Masini”]I think you should move on now. Since he suggested a break, there’s no sense in wasting your time. 😉[/quote]

    Funnily enough, after two weeks he contacted me today. He seemed genuinely interested to see what was going on in my life. I suppose I would wait and see where things go.

    What are your thoughts?

    [quote=”April Masini”]This isn’t a break. It’s a break up. You’re dating an investment banker with long hours, and you’re someone who needs more attention from a partner. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but nobody is doing anything wrong here — except to expect an apple to turn into an orange. You both are who you are and there’s a major incompatibility here. I think you should start dating other people.[/quote]

    Fair enough. I wouldn’t necessarily call it incompatibility as prior to the shift in workload, we had an amazing relationship. That being said, I am unsure if he simply got bored/lost interest and as work got more intense, started simply burring his head in piles of it to avoid the unavoidable.
    I can easily keep my options open but fully disregarding the relationship so promptly would be unlike me. Should I give it a months time before moving on?

    Hi April, it would be useful to hear your thoughts on the situation. Thanks

    Sorry to hear things ended up badly, Greg. Hopefully you find your way back together.
    In my case, I never treated him badly and overall was understanding and very supportive of the amount of hours he was investing in his job. I will definitely leave him alone and wait to see when/if he would reach out to me. In all fairness, he could just be uninterested. Either way, it is a win/win situation for me as I would understand his true colours.

    Not planning on dating anyone in the next month or so but if he doesn’t initiate contact, I would surely keep my options open.

    [quote=”greg93″]let the man do what he needs to do.

    been in a similar situation with my exgf, she didn’t listen to me, she kept chasing and I wasn’t into it until I got done with whatever I needed to do. now I’m ready but she was impatient so she met a guy who makes her happy:([/quote]

    Hopefully he doesn’t take as long as you did in your respective case then.
    I will give him space but cannot promise of waiting indefinitely.
