Is this common?
I got recently broken up by this guy and I didn’t even know about it. We were together for 6 months from June to December. Towards the end of December he started getting distant and not responding/ saying he wasn’t well and we didn’t meet for almost two weeks. After much trying, I sent a message saying everything I felt about this recent change- the change and how I felt about it. And I asked if he was really still interested in me. He replied with he needed some space to deal with things in his life wasn’t sure if he could give a 100% to the relationship and then just disappeared. After two months of pain and agony, I found out he was dating someone else through Facebook. When I asked him, he always dodged the question. 1 months after that I finally said I knew that he was seeing someone else and that I had no idea that it was over. He said that this guy was a friend and their photos were AI. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. While we were dating, he had pushed to be together the most and said he hates liars and now I find out, he was completely the opposite. We spoke a bit on the weekends after acknowledging that it was long over, but I still don’t know what happened.
Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated. Is this common in the gay dating scene?
