This is my first time posting. I hope I am in the right place. My boyfriend and I recently broke up. He is a marine with PTSD. We dated for a year and a half and he has two children from a divorce a couple of years ago. In the beginning of the relationship everything was going great. We spent a lot of time together and with his two children and my one child. After about 8 months I start noticing that he was becoming a little distant. He suddenly didn't want me around his children anymore. We stop going on dates and spending time like we use too. He said that he was always busy. I confronted him about it and he just said he has a lot on his plate. At one point he asked for space and I gave him his space. I didn't call or text for two weeks. He finally call and asked to see me. This is a repeated cycle. He leaves and comes back or I leave when he pushes me away and he comes back after a week or so and try to make things right. When we do spend time together, its mostly hanging out with his friends. To keep it short, basically our relationship is like a roller coaster ride, it's up and down. When he does want to stop being distant, we only do casual hangouts mostly at his house or around his friends or family. Other times he barely returns my calls or answer my texts. He is never around on the weekends. I finally had enough and just told him that I am not happy. I try to respect his time and space but I feel lonely. He is absent way more than he is around. After expressing my feelings to him and telling him the relationship is boring and I feel lonely, he sent me a text breaking it off. He said that we are not compatible and I'm obviously not happy with him. Maybe we can try reconnecting in the future. Did I handle this situation wrong?
