I know it hurts and I sympathize but consider yourself lucky.

Don't think all those good times were separate from who he showed himself to be. When people say they can't give you what you want, believe them!

A year is a long time only to get treated that shabbily. A week, a month, maybe.

Call him. If he doesn't pick up, leave a voice mail. Tell him he at least rates a phone call even if you only rated a text message.

Jerk.

He probably wasn't ready and was being honest. There's nothing you can do about that.

As to why he did it by text... well he's a coward and didn't care about how that'd make you feel. Not something you want in a partner anyway.

Don't waste your time trying to get a better rejection.

If he is a terrible communicator, count your blessings that you had only a year with him. It would have only gotten worse. Move on and find someone who is better for you. Do you really want a man who leaves and withdraws when there is conflict? Believe what he said in his cowardly text message and consider the relationship over. You deserve better.

Remember the Soprano's when Tony broke it off with one of his girlfriends and said..."In time you'll get over it" and she said "In time you'll be dead and I'll come to your funeral in a red dress!".....

Take a little time for your self maybe get away if you can swing it. But I agree your better off now. Your still young and it's a big world out there. Your going to be just fine.
