He loves me but can't support a relationship.
I saw this guy for about 5 months since yesterday. There is an age difference, I am 7 years older than him and he had no problem with it. The funny thing is, though I'm older, one would ASSUME that I was the one who is marriage-happy. Not true. See, marriage itself is not my end goal. Love is. In fact, he is Mr. Nice Guy and is all moral and stuff. Which I adore. At any rate, at one point he said he wanted space and then he said he was scared to commit because he's been hurt by many many influential people in his life. Oddly enough, we declared each other as BF/GF and said "I Love You," so I thought that WAS a commitment. Anyway, I backed off, we slowed down on seeing each other. But I guess it wasn't enough. Because he dumped me yesterday. What kills me is... he says he loves me. He just can't support a relationship right now. He did work 2 jobs at a whopping 70 hours a week. But he JUST quit the one, and he says he still doesn't feel up to snuff health/mental wise. He says yeah, he could tell me to wait... but he says he isn't that rude. I really don't know what to do...
I want to be with him. I read some posts and it says "Don't call for 2 months." Does this apply to me. And before I set out on that mission... do I give back his stuff and let go? Or do I ask if we should TRY again in two months?
I don't know... it really sucks giving up on someone who you know loves you, but the timing is really messed up.
