Today has been a long and painful day for me. I spent two months dating a guy I thought I really had something special with. He told me a few days ago he wasn’t ready for a long term relationship but still wanted to casually date me. I thought about it and today I told him we shouldn’t see each other anymore. It was such a hard decision for me to make because I have strong feelings for him but I’m about to turn 26 and I feel I’m way past the stages of these “I can’t commit” situationships and I’m emotionally exhausted. I tried my best to provide emotional support, I never argued with him, supported his goals and his passions, but I just don’t know what else guys want anymore.
I know it wasn’t a long time between him and I but it felt like it was for me. I just want someone to tell me everything will be okay.
