nta but only if you’ve let him know that you had a change of heart, you can’t be faulted for feeling differently it’s just how you go abt letting other ppl know

No. You can change your mind at any point in time and 11+ hours away isn’t going to work anyway

NTA. Personally, I like to see how someone is in different situations before I can commit to that. How do they act around their friends? How do they act around your friends? What about when you’re with just them? How do they react when you’re mad at them or vice versa? Can they accept that they’re wrong when proven or do they double down? Stuff like that. A week of talking is not going to show all of that. But that’s me, personally.

I wouldn’t think you were being rude it’s ok❤️ It just sounds like a younger person with less relationship experience is writing this. Especially with the way relationships turn sour even being in close proximity. The thing that keeps most long distance relationships afloat is the fact that you couldn’t get on each others nerves as much as and it is effortless to maintain multiple relationships with different people in this dynamic.

When you say it wouldn’t work you probably realized why all the people in his city passed over him too

yeah this makes a lot of sense lol, in theory long distance would be nice because of that reason but i’d rather have someone here getting in my nerves than not being able to fully trust someone.

Girl do not blame yourself for that shit!! You're clearly not the first person he's done this to if he's acting this way after ONE week of talking 😭 something is wrong with that guy and it is so not your fault and most definitely not your problem.
