So I'm trying to work on my codependent issues. I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year. I know, and have always known, it wasn't long term. There was just something there that I knew was off. But I don't break up with him because I hate conflict and I don't want him, or anyone, mad at me.
Well I finally get the courage to tell text him yesterday. (I haven't spoken to him since Friday) him I've been working on myself and really feel we need to sit down and talk.
He responds with "my mom died last night so that's all I can deal with".
So now I feel like crap. I k ow she was sick but had no idea it was this bad. Now I'm thinking maybe I should delay the breakup so I can be there to help him through all this.
I feel so guilty and selfish, even though I had no idea. It makes no sense for me to feel guilty, I know that. But my anxiety doesn't.
Ugh....
