I wish he hadn’t semi-ghosted me

I fell for someone. He broke my heart

Instead of ending it, he said he was too busy with work and needed a break. Then he’d text randomly. I told him to just tell me it’s over since it’s obvious he’s not interested. He won’t. He says he’s still interested. Feel like He’s stringing me along

I hate that. I want to block his number but part if me wants to believe he’s telling the truth

More of the same great advice I see from the same gang of bitter old crones from the SW lonely hearts club, who are looking for male-bashing, online allies. They say "ditch him" as if it's such an easy option. They don't care about you. They are just recruiting man-hating soldiers here on SW so they can feel better about their own failed relationships. Misery wants company.

@RogueLodyte what’s your advice?

RogueLodyte · M

@TigerLili MY advice, as IF I am even qualified to give it, is to at least TRY and work things out...BOTH of you. But you don't just "ditch" someone because of a rocky spell in a relationship. Even the most successful relationships take effort and sacrifice from both parties.
PS: and the SW "guys" here who advise you to dump him are just trying to get you single and vulnerable as an opportunity to pounce.

@RogueLodyte I’ll give it some thought. Thanks

I agree with @RogueLodyte on both counts. It's mostly always the same. And people who can't even fix their own relationship messes aren't very qualified to give good advice.

IF he means something to you and you still desire to be with him, communicate and discuss with him so you can come to a clear conclusion of what his true intent is. Also, why did he break your heart? Because he semi ghosted you? There's probably much more at play here than a few sentences reveal.

@Magenta I'm surprised I wasn't blocked (yet)...for my out-of-touch, archaic advice.

@RogueLodyte Ha. You mean you didn't jump on the mainstream bandwagon? Neither do I.
