AChase - I am so so sorry!! You deserve better than this! A real man would never break up with someone over a text!! Sending you big hugs - and I may be up in your area soon...coffee or drinks on me!

Thanks ladies. I'm seriously oscillating between being really mad and crying. My friends here are so so wonderful. My coworker who doesn't work on Fridays just stopped by to give me a hug and talk. Another bought me coffee.
I'm so sorry. I wouldn't be surprised if he came back and admits he just freaked out. Sometimes men are dumb. But you deserve better then the way he handled this. Big hugs.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate everyone's support.
That's awful, I'm sorry. It says a lot about the kind of person he really is, though. It really sucks to find out that someone isn't what we thought they were, but he clearly isn't. He sounds immature. And I'm fed up with guys claiming to be "scared" or "overwhelmed" in a relationship. Nut up, commit and be responsible! I wouldn't accept a break, either, that's just not a healthy position to be in. You don't need to be with someone who needs to figure out if they want to be in the relationship. You're worth much more. Hugs.

Thank you. This is definitely solid advice. I'm sad but kind of reflecting on somethings in the relationship that I wasn't ok with that I had overlooked such as him kind of discounting my feelings or brushing over them. Not a fan of confrontation. Since I'm such a communicator that's tough for me. I also felt like he really wanted things on his terms.
I honestly think you just dodged a bullet. What he did is not OK and it shows that he doesn't have the basic skill of communication needed for any successful relationship. He's also lacking maturity and a spine...which you deserve. I am sorry.

Don't be hard on yourself. You were likely compromising and finding a balance with him. I'm sorry this happened this way.

I've been there before too, so I know that accepting that someone isn't what we thought is hard. It'll take time, sadness and anger, of course. But in the long run, it's for the best. I just don't think that someone who can act that way is capable of having a real, supportive, direct and honest relationship. I'm really sorry that happened to you.

Late to the party but I agree with everyone else, achase123. If he needs space, that is fine, but he should have told you that in person, or at least over the phone. Texting someone that after 11 months is cowardly.
