I haven’t dated in years and met someone on Grindr of all places. I went on a walk with him and we hit it off for around 3 months with regular meet-ups expect for clearly communicated interruptions because of vacations and illnesses.
Since 1 month I haven’t seen him, because he doesn’t have time or any meet-up we plan does not work out in the end because of something. He cares for a sick parent, so I understand if he cannot meet up short-term sometimes. But this happened four times in a row now.
Last week-end he planned a meet-up with me which he cancelled short-term and told me he will meet me the next day. The second time he cancelled again short-term.
I was so furious over this that I broke up with him immediately over text. It’s now been a week and I’m having second thoughts. We have some commonalities because of a shared immigrant background. I liked him and treated me well. His parent is doing worse sometimes, so I understand some of the cancelling and he said he is going through some mental illness stuff right now.
Did I make right choice? I felt extremely disrespected at the time. But it’s not like there are so many options for me where I live.
