  1. I have lots to say and lots emotion. My boyfriend at the time broke up with me after him returning from attending his grandma’s funeral. We’ve been together for 7.5month

    this just happened five days ago.  I spent my time crying and trying to get supports I am still processing

    When I started to hang out with him, I chose to do what I think at the time was making me the happiest. I chose to spend my free time with him and neglected all of my friends. My closest friend was upset about me coming back and demanding all the support and she called me out for being self centered and selfish 

    I had no one to turn to so I came here to seek advices

    Backstory- me and him met on a dating app. At the time I wasn’t seeking anyone, I use the app to go on dates to entertain myself and to be able to share the crazy stories that went down or what have you. all of my friends were using the app to hook up, date ,relationships. I was using the app to feel like I belong in my friend group. I went on dates with him and exchanged numbers and just click right away. We understand or were interested in each other’s study fields. And we are both queer and love arts. I thought he come cross at a great timing. He was perfect for me. 

    To clarified, we are exclusive but never really puts labels and  refer to others we are partners or boyfriend or girlfriend 

    The relationship grow really fast, and I thought it was fantastic. We are both students, and in the summer we choose to stay and not go home and I thought in the  summer  we had sealed the bound and make me feel like I am inseparable from him. The weekend before he broke up with me we went to an exhibition and had a great time 

    at the end of that day his family told him that his grandma might not make it till tomorrow and the week day that followed that he texted and said his grandma had died and afterwards he was very distant and wouldn’t respond to my message for a long time or the next day I will get message that said i was busy sorry 

    it’s just really hurt

    we goes to different school and texting is our way of communicating through the week day and I wanted to give him space to grief and get ready for attending funeral 

    i thought I was being understanding that he was busy 

    the weekend following his grandma’s funeral he came back from home ( where the funeral was at) , and text me that he wanted to talk about something. He came straight from train station to my house and told me that he thinks that we should stop seeing each other. 

    His reason was shitty and still left me in confusion 

    he said something along that line of

    Our relationship is not progressing enough seeing you once a week is not enough and I still care about you that’s why I have to break up with you and it’s unfair to you 

    he also said  that he needs space and time alone to focus on school and family and it’s just getting really hard at school (architecture major ) too stressful 

    I asked him why now ? Why don’t you just said I don’t like you anymore and don’t want to be together with me anymore? 

    He is the kind of person who shutdown when he have a situation or problems 

    He told me it’s because he realized something after he went home. 

    And he got offensive after I said why didn’t he just said because it isn’t true that I don’t like you anymore I still care a lot.  He also said feels emotionally distant from me 

    But he was the one that’s pushing me away 

    and he started to cry when the conversation started  But he was the one who brought it up

    and what’s worse is that I found his tinder profile up and running the next morning , i don’t know if he downloaded the app for the same reason I did, distractions to gain confidence.

    i am just very confused as for why he would push me away when he is hurt? And why would he be up on tinder when he told me he want to be alone to deal with his issue?  Or is he blaming on himself or me for not being able to say goodbye to his grandma because he already spent his free time with me?  Why is it now ? I don’t know 

    please tell me something

    I want to  understand the logic of this or at least understand where he is coming from 

    so I can try to move on
