ParticipantHi there,
I need to know if I’m wasting my time on waiting for my ex to come around. I met him on vacation last year and we immediately connected. He and I live 8 hours away from each other but we managed to make it work for six months (we met halfway a few times, he met my friends and met his through FaceTime, etc) until one day he disappeared. My situation is rather complicated which makes it a little easier to understand why he left. I’m married but it’s a business arranging which will be coming to an end very soon. My ex knew that going in. I also live with my husband but again that will be over soon. I should also mention that my ex is in debt, hates his job, his community and he is at a crossroads with his career. He is also in the army and is slated for deployment in a year or two. I tried to reach out to him a few times but no response. In my last attempt, I contacted him so that he would know that my marriage is coming to an end and I will be moving out.He is confusing me because although he hasn’t responded I notice that He still hasn’t included his status on facebook which was something he was stressing about because he hid his status when we were together because of MY status. He has also been checking an app we used to exclusively communicate on because it tells me when he last logged in. Also when we were in a relationship he would take out private loans just to see me and to take me to fancy restaurants, hotels) I don’t know what to do. Am I wasting my time or will he wise up, grow and try to contact me? I should also mention that I am ten years older than him.
The last time I saw him he was practically in tears because I was married and we were so far away from each other so I don’t think he was playing me. I think he is simple a coward who felt he had no other choice but to let go. I know In my heart that he loves me but he couldn’t take my situation or the distance anymore. Can you help me? Thank you

KeymasterI don’t think you should count on him showing up again. I’m sure that you had feelings between you, but the reality is that you’re married and living with your husband, and he was not financially stable enough to see you without taking out loans. This isn’t the basis for an easy going relationship. The 8 hour distance makes it even more difficult to maintain. I think you should forget about this working out because it’s just too fraught with challenges that would be tough for anyone. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

ParticipantI agree that the situation right now is too much for him. I’m just hoping that when I move out and my ex has time to figure things out in his life, he will want me back. I’m hoping he will have matured by then. January 16, 2016 at 7:49 pm #31739April Masini
KeymasterJust don’t fool yourself… it sounds like he broke up with you about six months ago and isn’t returning your attempts at contact. This isn’t him being immature or not being able to handle things. This is a break up. He may change his mind at some point, but it’s probably not going to happen. 😳 Once you do get divorced, you’ll have lots of options for men to date and maybe you can find someone who’s more compatible.😉 January 16, 2016 at 7:56 pm #31740missny1010
ParticipantIt has been two months. We were together for 6 but I have a feeling that doesn’t really matter. 🙁 January 16, 2016 at 8:56 pm #31741April Masini
KeymasterGot it. And you’re right… even if you dated for six months, and he broke up with you and has cut off all communication for two months, it’s safe to assume this is over. You’ll do great when you look forward, not back. 🙂 -
