Yes, he did make it clear, but it's been six months since then. I want more now. He doesn't. I couldn't deal with being just an option till someone better came along. Hence, the break up.
I want to talk to someone who cares about me, and I feel this is so weird that I can't tell my mum this.
Things like opinions about marriage dont change overnight unless something major happens. You would have gotten signs if he wanted to take to the next level from him only. Its okay though.. happens. We harbour expectations from people we love nomatter how incapable they are of them. Happens. In the future, be with people with similar life goals. If you think marriage is something very important to you and needs to be next level, be with people with similar thoughts from the very start. Make it clear. Mindsets dont change and any expectations people have that they will change a person only brings them suffering.
Its not weird- you can tell your mom this.Its not on you and you are not at fault. Isnt it a good thing he didn't say yes outta guilt or gratitude? That you did not waste years on a relationship that has a deadend? Count on your blessings. You will find someone in-tune with your needs no matter how heavy your heart feels at the moment. Dont even bother thinking about if he marries someone else or not in the future. Who knows where both of y'all will be years later? Close his chapter. You will be okay. Talk to your friends and go out. Distract yourself.
Next time around, no matter what,place your priorities over everyone else. If they dont match with someone else,dont get into anything.
