Hopefully this is my last post about this. It has to be over this time. We ended up being in the same town for work, completely unplanned. The familiar pit landed in my stomach when he told me. We met and drank and kissed a lot. I felt detached from him but of course felt the old physical connection. We slept together in the same bed but nothing else happened. He left in the morning. I felt relief and weird. We saw each other again last night, he was in a bad mood and ended up coming over again.

(Cont’d) he couldn’t decide if he wanted to stay or go. I got mad, a long time coming and asked why did he even contact me. He said ‘so we wouldn’t randomly run into each other other and to catch up’. He said he wanted to leave if he’s just making me mad. Then he got mad when I said these last few days were just supposed to be fun and he said that’s not reality and he kissed me and left. We enable each other I know it’s not healthy. I’m ready for the next relationship to not be this hard.

Alright grill me I don't care. But I matched with a guy on an app and we have great conversations. However, after going on a few dates with him, it's obvious he looks nothing like his pictures. He has grown his hair out a lot and grown king facial hair and it's just not what I was into when we matched? I really thought he looked different and something about his hair being long and so greasy makes it hard for me to be into him. I know I sound awful but what do I do / say?

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
