First thing I don’t have much experience in dating and starting new relationships i am divorcing my partner of 28 years and i am in my 40’s. I met a guy a month or so ago, he’s been nothing but amazing and we are so similar it’s scary. We both told eachother we weren’t ready for a full commitment yet but was willing to take things slow and build a friendship. He tells me he adores me. He would text me often and we would neveree wanna sleep at night to talk, not a lot at work but that’s expected. He’s going through some things with his co parent and has been in a slump and is having a hard time. I have reassured him I’m here when he needs me. I have a bit of an anxious attachment and I’ve told him this and that i am attached more than i should be. He said he doesn’t wanna hurt me and it’s not his intentions he’s just struggling….he def has distanced himself and doesn’t text me as often and doesn’t seem as happy with me as he once was. It went from 10 to like 3. What do I do? I’m hurting but at the same time realistically i know he’s hurting too. Now i just send random texts letting him know im here and asking if he’s ok….he won’t text me back all the time. Please some guidance and please be gentle this dating stuff is foreign to me and dating back in the late 90’s is so different compared to now. What would u all do?
