Reunited with an ex and things moved very fast with the two of us spending a lot of time and nights together but we waited to consummate the “relationship”. Recently, he shared that he wasn’t in a position to be in a relationship right now and felt like he didn’t have enough to offer me but he cared deeply for me and was very attracted to me. Admittedly, he isn’t financially well-off and is heading back to school to finish his degree (we’re in our 30s) but it still hurts a lot.

We agreed to just be friends but I miss him so much. I know I probably should give him space to get his career together though

My ex (30s) and I (also 30s) got back in touch, it was 🔥, then he said he didn’t want to be back in a relationship. It must be nice to have as much time to be ready as guys do.
