You are very welcome. 😌 I read that your ex " promised" to take care of his friends family for him. That being said I commend him for his efforts to do so and you for being supportive of his decision. The issue I would bring to mind is this for future references.
There isn't any thing " wrong" with spending time with the opposite gender while in a relationship but is it " wise" to do so ? It could easily fall into a situation that leaves someone else hurt . Trusting your partner is a foundation of mutual respect but respect goes both ways . He and I hope he did have you heavily involved with his decision to care for another woman no matter who it is. Personally I would NEVER make that decision without the consent and presence of my partner .
I still believe no matter what you've done " belittling , snapping or such" it was a way you were trying to communicate with him. Though it may have been not so much in a positive way but communicating none the less. Of course it is difficult to always talk about emotions ( even men) and especially emotionally heightened subjects.
I hope you heal and become a stronger person in which this life lesson has taught you. I pray you find that person that you " need and want" . Remember as you well know that there is no "perfect " person but there is " perfect " relationship waiting for you. Take care and be the strong woman who you truly are.

that is all completely true... I just have to come to terms that it's over. that's the hard part, it's only been 7 days . I did send him a goodbye email, so that I could start the process of closure and to see if there was one more chance. I apologized and did communicate how hurt I felt about this situation with being there for his friends wife.

he never responded . and I suspect that it's bc something has flourished . nonetheless, I just have to cope with it all.
I know it wasn't a good fit, and I helped end it with my behavior. I think what has most affected me is finding myself turning 34 and I guess o figured I'd find that person by now, that I'd have a chance at having a family soon. I do want to find love not perfection... that's unrealistic.

i as just ready for happiness I guess. I'm not trying to find someone to make me happy I want to be happy and am ready to give my love. a true partnership I suppose. it's just hard to find someone at my age that is in the same stage.

It's hard to find someone at ANY age. You're feeling a crunch of time because of your age, re/family, having children, etc. But, believe me, there are much worse things than being alone. Don't compromise in terms of what you desire in a relationship

This fella, who was supportive of the widow...in my humble opinion, your instincts were right to be concerned.

Don't second-guess yourself on your responses/instincts. It made you feel insecure, and a loving relationship should not do that to you. If it didn't feel right, then, it wasn't.

I sense that you are going back and questioning and even berating yourself for your emotional comments to him. Don't do that. If a man can't handle emotional confrontation in a dating scenario, what would it be like in a lifelong commitment!

I am, I do question it. I put in another post that trying not to overanalyze every corner felt like trying to keep my eyes open without blinking . it's just a terrible feeling because logically you know its maladaptive but emotionally .. it's a reflex. im just shaking my head right now. :/
