So I'm seeking advice on how to break up with someone during these weird times.
Little background - I've been seeing this guy since end of November and we have been exclusive since end of January. At the beginning, he was ticking many HVM boxes. He chased me. He's (was) kind, considerate and interesting. But lately I've been having a nagging feeling that I'm either - 1. Being taken for granted or 2. Being breadcrumbed or 3. Both.
He stopped all verbal affection, so when we text/talk, I feel like I'm just chatting with a friend instead of a boyfriend. And he rarely initiates texting anymore. Even though he's very quick to respond. Last time we texted was Thursday night and this time I decided not to initiate if he didn't bother doing so himself.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt and tried cOmMUniCATinG my needs on a few occasions and every time, he apologized for "making me feel bad". But then he goes back to the same pattern after a few days. So now I've had enough!
My question is: is it acceptable to break up with him "remotely" during the quarantine? How can I do so in a non pickme way but also without being a jerk?
Thank you ladies and hope you're all staying safe!
P.s: sometimes I do feel like I am overthinking/being overly sensitive. So if that's the case, let me have it.
Edit: Thank you all for your insight and advice 🙏🏻 I've decided I'm going to do the short text and block.
