The truth is I feel her life just got too crazy with some family issues, she is a teacher and is stressed about what's going to happen this year with going back to school or how that's all going to work and I think fitting me into all that became a source of stress for her instead of what was once stress relief.It’s courteous to do as he did. They weren’t dating for one or two weeks but rather for 3 months. There’s no need to be a jack ass and besides he’d look butthurt if he simply vanished or rambled on ad nauseum so a middle path is the most balanced and socially calibrated response.
Additionally he does not burn the bridge with her. Once her life straightens out he’s left the door open to future interactions. He loses nothing in doing this.
Nuance people. Interactions between people are nuanced. @BackInTheGame78 understands that. There is much instructive for other readers in the way he has handled the situation, which I think he did in a mature & adroit way.
I am not mad or bitter or anything. I think sometimes life just gets in the way too much...some people are built to handle that better than others.
I'm not sure there was really anything else I could have done to have changed this outcome. I guess we will see what happens in the future.
