We are both in our 50s (53M 52F) We met about eight months ago We both fell deeply in love he would tell me all the time how I am the perfect girl for him and list the things that he loves about me. Just last week, he looked at me and said I love you and just smiled. We talk about our future together all the time
The next day he had plans and then the next day after that, he messaged me and said he needs to talk. When he came over, he explained how much he loves me, but how his head took a turn and he doesn’t know where he’s at. He doesn’t do any of the things he used to enjoy. He doesn’t do things he needs to get done and then he also mentioned his head has not been straight since his dad passed away about two years ago. He said he can’t ask me to wait but he also can’t say it’s not the end because if he doesn’t say that it’s end he’ll just run back to me. He doesn’t know how to get things done because he loves me too much. He wants to be with me all the time.
However, he still messages me every day and checks in on me and plays and flirts, and updates me on his progress. What do you think is going on here?
