Guy I’m dating texted me a message meant for his ex on Mother’s Day
I 26 (F) am dating a 27 (M), we meant off hinge. Had two really great dates, text and facetime very frequently. I started to really like him and felt safe enough to be vulnerable with him and he in turn opened up and stated he had no real relationship with his mother. He mentioned his exes wrecked him but he had learned from it, it was over a year ago and that he was in therapy. We had date 3 planned for Tuesday and today instead of a GM text or a hey hows your Mother’s Day going with your mom I get a future meme along with this text:
“All these happy mother day posts used to remind me of the times we spent watching you laugh thinking of how great a mother you'd be, taking care of me and holding me down like a mother would. All that unconditional love given out like l was your own son but not realizing you were practicing for our own one. Tell your ma 1 miss her cooking, happy Mother's Day and that you one day will be celebrating it one day too”
I didn’t reply and probably won’t. He said he was healed from his past relationships and was very adamant about wanting to invest in me. Kinda disappointed at myself for wasting so much energy on someone clearly not being honest with themselves. It’s rough out here, but should I give grace? Emotional attachments are hard to break idk
