Has anyone ever been told by their ex that the relationship is on the back burner for them. I spoke to my ex the other day I guess to get clarity and he told me that he was focused on his school, work, and mental health and that the relationship was not his top priority which I understood. He proceeded to say it takes time to realize if you want to be with someone and Idk I just took it offensive considering I’ve had mixed signals for months. Has anyone ever been in something similar?

wait, how long has he been giving you these mixed signals? like was he acting into you one day and distant the next?
so as sad as it sounds for 5 months. he would come over here to pick up items and we would have conversations about it and everything seemed okay and the second he left he acted distant and would not respond to any communication and if he did it was distant
i’m sorry you’re dealing with that. when stuff feels unclear like this, i usually pull my energy back a bit so i can see what’s real and what’s just hope. it sucks, but it keeps me sane.
Gurl… the mixed signals… I’ve BEEN there. DO NOT DIVE DEEPER. I literally copy pasted EVERY SINGLE THING he said into ChatGPT until even ChatGPT was tired of me 💀
Just close your eyes, take a deep breath, and think of literally anything else besides him, like your studies, things you always wanted to do but hasn't gotten the opportunities.
You're NOT his top priority?
Okay then babe, make him the last one on your priority list. Like dead last. Behind snacks, naps, and doing nothing. YOU WILL SLAY AND GLOW UP GIRL TRUST ME 💅✨️
omg I was doing the same with chat gpt I had to delete the app because I felt crazy haha
i’ve heard that “you’re on the back burner” version before. my ex said he needed to “figure himself out” while keeping me kinda… half there. it messed with my head so bad. mixed signals hurt in a different way
