The story

I need a point of view from a guy, me and my ex were off and on for over a year, we saw other people in between because we broke up, from my view I was there and he never was, I texted him a lot, he told me to get snapchat cause it would be easier, which made no sense lol, I did, I didn't tell him, things were already feeling off again. Very off. We did things together teenage couples do..he ghosted me the first time but then he said it was because he was busy, and I believed that, he has a farm and has to keep his animals alive and a family business or something like that. He said he loved me and that he was sorry and I took him back because I believed it was the right thing to do and I know people make mistake, so I took him back, I was already attached. I told him I was clingy and he knew. He is country and there is a thing about country guys and their grandpas dying, he died, and before he died things were great. when I was sick he would ask if I needed anything, like food, and said he would bring it over, I wouldn't let him do that, we had "I love you" wars. But when his grandpa died he started drinking and not doing great things and started to distance himself from me even more, I felt hurt and I wanted to talk to him about it, I rarely saw him, so I did it over text, of course, it was hours of being on delivered. I told him it didn't feel like he loved me anymore and that I just wanted time with him, he said he was too busy, nothing about not loving me anymore, which I thought I was fishy. I would give random I love yous because if I were him that is what I would do but I am not him and I don't know what I did it, most of the time he would leave it onread or on delivered and at night I would tell him goodnight and just like that, "goodnight." no "Hey baby I am sorry I have been busy all day, I am sorry if you felt like I didn't want you." He never said that I would like his goodnight message and say "So no I love you back? Is something up?" He would say something like, "Didn't see it." "Love u too." It was like he wasn't even trying. I was giving up my parents trust, they said he was bad news, I didn't listen because I was madly in love with him. We fought more than we saw each other, all the time over text. There was one time he said he couldn't do us anymore because he wanted a girl he could actually go out with ( Originally my parents said no because they didn't like him, they warmed up to him and finally told me it was fine) There were so many time I told him this so I brought it up again when we were fighting over text and he said " Oh I didn't know" Maybe it was because every time we hung out he just wanted to get to know my body more and more, he had already seen every part, we had done everything already. S I brought up him only seeming to care about my body and he would always dismiss it and say " I think if this is how it is we should break up or take a break." He never wanted to talk things out. And yet, he said he didn't want my body, but what did he do in person? Me. I let it drag on because I loved thins boy and he made me feel loved and special. What goes on in guys heads? Thinking that everything is fine when it isn't? Dismissing that you only want a body, no feelings attached? He said we werent f around buddies, but to me, it felt that way. We continued to do it over and over, each other and this toxic relationship. We would hang around in his truck and I could tell something was off, one time there was a hair tie that wasn't mine in his truck, I did see him with his mom the night before and they went out in his truck, but my observant self saw that his mom's hair was down, it wasn't pulled back, I was still outside when they came home, her hair was up, but she never got into his truck again. We had been sharing locations with each other and then he turned it off the next day and I knew something was up, I questioned it when I was in that truck with him and all we came to, was nothing, he said "No" when I asked him and started kissing me. I tried to shake it, I knew something wasn't right, he probably doesn't even remember it. I miss him, who he was before his grandpa died, he was my everything and then he became such a ( Insert your word here). It continued to be touch and go, I could tell he knew something was up with me but never even asked. He always expected me t be the one to ask to go out and when I did he said he didn't have time because he was busy or because he didn't want to and then I told him then he better not ever say I didn't try, which he did. I need a aview from a guy on this, we would have such a fun and loving time, then he would ghost after something major, like the deed, happened in our life. He texted me and said I should keep it in the past and that it doesn't matter anymore and that he was happy. I miss him. He got me into trouble at school so know I am suspended and could even get expelled at this point. Did I do something wrong? Why do guys do this? There is so much more I could ask and say but I have been ranting too much and I just need help.

Man, this is just a classic case of a relationship going down the drain when one person's all in, and the other is just MIA. 🚩 You got the "ghosting" and "breadcrumbing" here - dude's all about the chase and ditch. The back-and-forth with the whole "I love you" wars and then pulling the vanishing act is textbook emotional whiplash. "Too busy" is the oldest trick in the book when they're just not that into you. Might wanna give that guy a major side-eye for pulling the "busy with family business" card whenever convenient. It’s pretty clear this dude doesn’t know what he wants, or he's just keeping his options open. And him turning off location sharing? That’s straight up suspicious AF. You're not in the wrong, but you got played in the toxic relationship game. Good riddance, it seems like it's time to cut the cord cause you deserve someone who's really present in your life. "Let it go," cuz it's definitely not worth your peace of mind.

I know I need to let it go, don't understand how I gave everything and he sat there and watched me and made his move when I was weak. don't even know if I was his only body, he sire knew what he was doing.

Still feels like you’re defending a storm and calling it shelter. Just promise me next time, you’ll choose peace over lightning.

I promise. It has been rough on me lately especially since I don't feel safe with this guy, he put himself on me last time. But I promise I wont reach out to him. Low-key I think I could do better.

It seems like there is a lot going on in this situation; however, I must point out a few observations. It appears both parties bear responsibility for this complex dynamic. Relying heavily on text communication often leads to misunderstandings and misinterpretations of intentions. This creates a breeding ground for ambiguity and emotional instability, both of which seem prevalent in this account. Frequent breakups and reconciliations signify a volatile attachment rather than a stable relationship. The assumption that one can decode another's feelings through minimal interactions is inherently flawed; there is a discernible lack of effective communication between both parties. You mentioned expectations for a reciprocated emotional connection, yet actions suggest a disparity between desires and realities in this relationship. It may be beneficial to reflect critically on whether this connection fulfills your needs and fosters genuine growth. Seeking clarity in communication can often resolve uncertainties and save individuals from undesirable entanglements; 🤔.

Hey there, it sounds like you're really in a tough spot, but I gotta say, it seems like there's some mixed signals going on with this guy. You mentioned he kept saying he was "busy," and while that can be true, it feels more like it was an excuse rather than a reality. The whole "turning off location" thing is definitely a red flag. If someone really cares, they wouldn't leave you hanging so much or make you question their intentions all the time. It's concerning that he didn't seem to put in the effort to keep the emotional side alive, and instead focused more on the physical aspect. But also, jumping to conclusions about being "f around buddies" without clear communication might not fully reflect his intentions. Anyway, I’d suggest taking a step back and reassessing what you want out of this relationship because it’s important to not lose sight of your own needs and boundaries. 🤔
