I recently blocked my ex LVM after he had reached out to me. Unfortunately, I was quite open to being friends with him but after asking him why he decided to reach out to me now, he gave me some answers that really turned off that idea. During our relationship, I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him but I never told him because he basically mentioned to me that his mom asked him when he was going to propose to me and what did he tell me? He said “you know that gif of Homer Simpson backing into a bush? That was me when she said that”

So basically, I was in a relationship with someone who didn’t want marriage with me. Or kids since he flipped out one day over nothing. I ended up breaking up with him because he ghosted me.

Currently, a lot of couples in my outer circle are getting engaged and married. For reference, I’m 23 years old and most of the other couples range in ages 22-25. I’m happy for them, I really am, but sometimes it just gets me thinking when my time will come. I really thought my last boyfriend would be the one, but he constantly kept showing me signs that he wasn’t.

When he reached out to me months after the breakup, I started thinking that maybe he got lonely after seeing everyone getting proposed to… but I didn’t give him the time of day. Even if I’m lonely, I will not go backwards but forwards on my own. It’s just really annoying that I feel this way towards people getting engaged.
