Don’t contact him. You can say goodbye in your heart and let go in peace. Send the gentle thoughts out into the universe. I think you want to help and you do care. It’s just not what he needs and inappropriate. 4 Link to comment
smackie9 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Things just didn't work out in his mind even tho you put your best foot forward. It happens, and it sucks being on the receiving end of the dumping. Just be at peace now...time to move onto better things. 2 Link to comment
catfeeder Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 What I'd take from his message is, "I'm not relationship material right now. I'm too sick, and I'm just trying to survive." Finding offense in that wouldn't even occur to me. I'd be more concerned with whether or not he actually CAN survive. The last thing I'd want to do is come off as angry at someone for being too sick to deal with me. Maybe not everything is about me? 4 Link to comment

Yet all of the other posters before you are busy telling me not even to bother contacting him, that it’s me personally he’s rejecting. Link to comment

No one said that. We all said he's seriously ill and therefore unable to focus on a relationship. And that you should NOT make it about you, but instead have some understanding of his situation. YOU are the only one who keeps suggesting he personally rejected you and that he thinks you are "'worthless". Again, no one said that except you. And I did say not to contact him to tell him you "miss him". That would come across as either a guilt trip or trying to manipulate him into contacting you or resuming the relationship. Unfortunately, he's just not in a good place to try to date. And unfortunately, he didn't realize that until after you had spent time with him and developed feelings for him. I'm sorry you're so angry and upset. I understand you're disappointed it didn't work out. But there isn't much to do but accept it and move forward. 3 Link to comment

Where do you get that? Nobody's making you out to be a villain--we're just trying to caution you against making the guy into one. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Not one person said that it was about you being personally rejected. You have a one track mind agenda here that only hears what you want to hear. Link to comment

This was YOUR choice to spend all that time with him. No, I would not want someone in such a condition to feel they have to meet my kids. Like they say, you have no idea what it's like being in someone else's shoes. This man is fighting a BAD illness and you need to take that into account. No, you can't 'expect' much from anyone in such a state.. As for his son? Well, his son comes with him. You're going to be over there, tending to him, then you WILL also see his son. No, your daughter does not need to be there. As mentioned, way too soon to bring your kid into this.. And see now? He's pulled away... good she didn't have to encounter him. It should be way longer than a cpl months before people introduce their children to their 'date'. So, you respectfully leave him be now.. he is not well. No expectations and move on. 1 Link to comment
MissCanuck Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 OP, you really need to step outside yourself and realize not everything revolves around you. In other more-blunt words? You would be wise to get over yourself. 2 Link to comment
SherrySher Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 There are times where we are going to feel hurt, angry, disappointed, sad, upset. But not every single time is there going to be closure, or the result you want. Sometimes it just hurts and that's the end of it. You want this man to be well enough to be your boyfriend. That's not going to happen. Did he purposely reject you, reject your daughter? No, he does not have the capabilities for either of you being in the state he's in. He is too unwell, he is not wanting a relationship like he first thought he might, and he is now wanting this to be over, with no harsh words, but just acceptance. You can do that, right? Accept that it didn't work out, have no animosity towards him, and let him and this situation go? We all have to accept things we don't like, but we're adults, so we do. That's the best you can do here, accept...let go...move on. Also for your own good, so you can stop upsetting yourself over this situation. Just let it go. 1 1 Link to comment

I'm just wondering if you were dating just your average man who's not sick and he ended it, would you be this angry? Having cancer doesn't just make him a helpless child. He's still allowed to feel like a relationship isn't working and to end it just like any other person. Maybe just try to look at it that way. I'm sure you've been through break ups before and you've broken up with people too. Link to comment

Don't stay in his life "to keep him interested" - let him be with people who are there only to help and support him right now. You're too biased/self-interested. Link to comment

He is fighting for his life. Now is not the time to keep him interested. That would be incredibly inappropriate and self-serving of you. Just. Stop. 1 Link to comment
