Would you break things off with someone after 1.5 of being exclusive if he caught you fainting in the shower and then left quickly? Got me to the couch, got me water, then left me sopping wet wrapped in a towel. I needed to go back to finish my shower and did it alone. The reason I fainted was I needed to eat but he insisted we shower together (we loved doing that) and that I could eat when he left. Late 30s. Never checked in on me after that either.

1. Sorry you fainted and I hope you’re doing better! 2. Why is this even a question? I would leave him in a heartbeat

I'm leaning towards yes, but think about other aspects of your relationship. Some questions I have that maybe you should consider:

1. What was so important for him to run off to agter you fainted?
2. Did you talk to him about how bizarre it was for him to not even check in on you after he left?
3. How does he take care of you outside of this incident? Have you ever had a health concern or acarw in the past, and if so, how did he react?

I would kick him to the curb so fast. That happened to me before the ex stayed around and made sure I was ok. He wouldn’t let me get off the couch until I ate and had some water, I

I’m sorry this happened to you but it reads as a very confusing series of events. If you need to eat knowing fainting is a risk, then why wouldn’t you just eat? Is he abusive and forcing you to shower instead? When you fainted why did he need to rush off? How long did it take you to recover from fainting? Is this a common occurrence, do you have an underlying health issue? How has he reacted in the past?

No

I ended up seeing him for two months and mutually broke up last week. I keep thinking about what I could’ve done to fix things but keep telling myself most people would’ve left after the fainting situation and I shouldn’t have stayed as long as I did because those are his friends colors. He is not caring.

Within the first few dates with my eventual husband, I got some sort of stomach bug and ended up worshiping the porcelain god for several hours. He not only stayed, he held my hair back, put me back to bed, and stayed on the couch in case I needed him in the middle of the night. We were 41 and 43 respectively.

It’s not enough to love someone, you have to be able to trust that they will be there for you in the worst of times. Sounds like he wasn’t down for that.

“I needed to eat but he insisted we shower together” is already gross. Ignoring your needs for his own. And add that he’s in his late 30s 🤮

But why did you faint? That’s not normal.

I was hungry and slightly dehydrated from two glasses of wine the evening before.

If you already broke up, why are you asking? The real question is why didn't you listen to your gut and break up then?

He might have freaked, but he never checked back in on you. Never said sorry for abandoning you. It's not what you could have done to salvage the relationship. The question is what he could have done, if anything. When he did nothing, and you demanded nothing, it was only a matter of time. Either he didn't want to be a responsible adult or seeing you reminded him of what a loser he chose to be in that moment. No idea what you said to him or didn't, but if he didn't crawl back in remorse, it was over.

Something is missing or he got what he wanted and ran. Maybe even used the fainting spell as a made up reason to go. Manipulative lying weak (often cheating) men do exactly that. Leave while placing the blame on the woman. Oh she let herself go. Oh she doesn't put me first. Oh her ankles were too thick. Any random insane thing to make women think they did something wrong when they did not. Sweetheart you did absolutely nothing wrong. Instead you saw his true colors. Imagine if you had his baby and he left because your water broke and wet the living room floor. Don't ever let anyone make you feel bad or guilty for being human or a victim. He's trash and hoping you eventually see it. Go date someone who respects you and your intelligence. Wishing you the best.
