Member #373,878[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?

Member #373,878[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?Elizabethk
Member #373,878Hi April, it would be useful to hear your thoughts on the situation. Thanks Elizabethk
Member #373,878Sorry 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.

Member #373,878[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. -
