Hi,
I was dating someone for about 2.5 months, he went on vacation at the beginning of the month, it was hard, but we had regular phone calls and video calls, talked every day, sent cute posts and reels to each other, he even started to open up more emotionally (started a little bit before the vacation, that's also when he started making future plans). Before he left, he said he wants to start working on a relationship when he's back and make it official soon. Now, here's the thing I recently learned: he has any avoidsnt attachment style, most likely fearful.
So we had one of our video calls, in which he told me that he's not feeling well there (he was really going through it there, might be important for your judgment), he can't wait to come back to me, he wants and needs my love and he also said he's not going to meet anyone there, he's not going to fall in love there and nothing is going to change between us. He knew I was worried about that, so I thought he wanted to reassure me. The next day he told me that he's in a relationship with someone else that he met not even 2 weeks ago.
So what do you guys think? Did his feelings for me just get too much in the end and that made him jump into a relationship that's obviously superficial and seems easier for now because he's an avoidant? Is this a rebound?
Thanks in advance
edit: he didn't actually tell me, he sent a message and when I asked for a phone call, he said he doesn't have the capacity for it and isn't ready for it. How does he think he has the capacity for a relationship then? Without even getting over his feelings for me?
