eddie85 agony auntWhat a cad for dropping this on you via a text message.

I think there's something more going on. After 5 months, you have something built up and you deserve a better explanation then a lame text message.

I agree with the other people and I suggest being proactive and calling him and asking him what the story is.

You may have to give him some space -- perhaps he is a fearful about being "in love" again or perhaps there was an issue with his children. Either way, he does deserve to give you atleast a brief explanation... he owes you that much.

If he doesn't, I suggest you take a closer look at how he communicates and whether he is truly "a catch".

Good luck.

TEM agony auntYou've been seeing him for 5 months and have had an intimate relationship. You must have gotten to know him fairly well during this time. Unless there was an obvious negative incident during one of your dates, I think you deserve more than a text stating he has to work some things out. That's a rude way to break things off, if that is what he is doing. He owes you an explanation. I'd call him and ask him what this means, in terms of your relationship.

So_Very_Confused agony auntIt's possible he's dumping you. Or he may be seriously trying to sort a few things out and just need time and space.

16 and 13 are ages that can demand a lot of time... work could be busy.... could be a zillion things.

how long ago was the text and did you do anything to respond to it?

hannah76 agony auntHello,

It could be the initial stages of him checking out. On the other hand, he may just be letting you know he has things to attend to and won't be fully in contact for the moment. Obviously he has the two children as priority. I would wait for him to talk later. That's all you could do at the moment I'm afraid. Wait to see what else develops and possibly come back to the site and post more. Hope all goes well.
