Blindsided and blocked

I have just experienced a break up conducted in the worse way and wondered if anyone has had the same experience and how you coped. 2 days ago (Friday) I received a text from my boyfriend of 2 months saying the relationship was over. This took me by complete surprise as we had just 2 days before (Wednesday) spent a great evening together and were planning what we were going to do over the weekend. I was about to meet his close friends and family for the first time at a BBQ at his house. And he seemed excited about the prospect. His text basically said he didn't want to be in a full on relationship with me and although he thought I was lovely and we got on extremely well he was not in the right place at the moment to continue seeing me as a boyfriend. The most hurtful part is that he immediately blocked my number so he would not receive any calls or messages from me. So I have not even been able to respond or get a proper explanation. This is a man of 54 who runs a successful business. I am surprised how painful this feels after being with someone for only 2 months, but we grew close very quickly. I feel like my heart has been ripped out. I have one suspicion - it may have something to do with his ex who he broke up with 6 months before meeting me. They had had an on/off relationship for 4 years.

Been broke up with via txt, through pics on fb, it all hurts no matter what. Best thing I've found to do is just deal w/ the hurt and move on, find another one

I'm sorry you're hurting. Be thankful it happened now and not two years down the line. This man sounds really immature so it sounds like you dodged a bullet. He's probably blocked your number out of guilt or temptation to reply if you text him. It won't be anything personal.

Thank you Capttrae. Sorry you have experienced the same as me. Thanks for those few words of wisdom. It all helps. M

Jessie89 thank you for your kind response. It has helped. You are quite right it was a very immature way to behave & I have had a lucky escape.

I think your suspicions are correct. And the guy is a coward and not worthy of your kindness. Block him as well.

Thank you mHowe. The more I've thought about it I am totally convinced his change of heart has to do with his ex, as he told me she had been in touch a couple of weeks ago. Whereas initially he did not seem to welcome the renewed contact I think she has got to him. It sounded like they had a volatile relationship so I don't know why he thinks it will be any different. Perhaps that's what he likes. Not my problem now though.

Some people are addicted to the drama. Of course, not emotionally healthy people.
