ORIGINAL: chewtoy89 tonight he sent me a message saying he guessed it was over My response to this would be "Yup, it's over." Dito...that person does not really show any interest to your own personal situation you are facing at the moment, does he? When I started my involvement with Mr. A I was involved with two people at that time but was more drawn to him. However, he faced a similar situation to yours as his mum got a stroke, which also delayed future plans big time. Due to previous negative encounters I had just before dating him, He and I had decided during that time that I will give him a break and get to know a bit more the other person I was involved with as I did not want to add bad atmosphere due to light disappointment into the contact with him (he had also clarified to me that right now he can't say anything if and how it will continue and so I did not feel the need to just "wait" for someone whom I actually hadn't met in person so far). So we took a break and he visited his mum at another continent and I spent some more time chatting with the other person. Mr A and I continued brief chats at times and emails where he said that he appreciates that I don't want potentially add negative attitude into my contact with him due to that uncertainty now but that he also struggles to see how fast I moved on (even when he understood my reasons for it, he did not like it). However, at the end I decided to continue my involvement with Mr A as he had significantly more potential to meet my needs then my other involvement and so far we date fairly happily and will soon meet again. So whilst I can understand that doubts can come up from a person when (s)he makes such an announcement - considering a lot is going on online - Mr A and I simply found our mutual way to handle the situation. I felt sorry for him and I gave him lots of advice I had, I was there for him contact wise, just not actively dating at that point. That helped him to stay focused on his visit home and gave him more freedom to get a clear mind what he is going to do next (if he goes back home to his state or not) and also ensured that I don't have to trust that blindly yet to a person I barely know. So if a person approaches you like that and not considering your situation, then I would not be interested into him. I am sure that if I would have reacted like that, that Mr. A would not have bothered about me anymore and just because I had not met him at that point did not lead me to the conclusion to accuse him of lieing straight away. He and I had decided to give him some space and to ensure that we don't get annoyed at each other when we certainly should not at such a situation. Just ask yourself how much would he consider you when you would be with him, when he already does not seem to show understanding or sympathy yet? So for me he would be toast and I would not be bothered to waste my time with him. Best wishes for the recovery for your dad and good luck to you, too
