He’s coming over in 2 hours and thinks I’ve planned a sushi making night for us. Doesn’t know I’m planning to break up with him when he arrives. Been seeing each other for 3mo. Feel sad I’m about to hurt him but then keep reminding myself men don’t care when they break my heart either plus he can’t care that much if he hasn’t met my needs by now after explicitly being told

Why would you do that, lol. That’s just actively rude. You should’ve just said we need to talk let’s come over versus pretending he should expect a fun date

I really wouldn’t assume “he can’t care”. It sounds like he’s excited for a fun date with you, and I bet you’re a fantastic date, so of course he’s going to be sad. I’m sorry he wasn’t mature enough to meet your needs.

You’re justified in feeling disrespected and unappreciated, and I’m glad you’ve chosen to break up with him. But I fear there’s some anger brewing from previous breakups. While this man is far from perfect, if he’s blindsided by a mean breakup it’s going to hurt him, and then he’s more likely to cruelly break up with someone, and the cycle repeats itself. I’m sorry some people suck and haven’t been as kind during previous breakups. But I do think being kind during breakups has positive ripple effects. Best of luck!
