Hello,

I’m a single mom and have been dating this guy for seven years, living with him for two years, and engaged for one year. We broke up recently because he is a selfish jerk. He initiated the breakup by giving me the silent treatment and then telling me he was tired of the fighting and that we should just stop spinning our wheels. I agreed because I didn’t want him to think it was hurting me or that I was weak.

My son and I still live under his roof because I need time to find my own place. We pass each other without saying a word every day. I see him come in late at night, but that is really all I see of him. It’s been a week since we’ve spoken and he recently came into the room where I was sleeping and kissed my forehead and said “sorry” and walked away. Why would he do that?? I don’t know if he thought I was sad, but this guy is emotionally confused and mean. He then texted me “What are your plans?” and I responded “for …” and he said “for our conversation a few days ago.”

I don’t know what he means because the conversation we had was about how much we fight and just need to break up (his choice). I don’t know what he means by “plans.” My mind is telling me that he is curious of my plans for moving out, but he said he wasn’t kicking me out. I just never responded to him and now he has me wondering. What is your input on this?
