You'd be assuming right I'd say. Prepare to be love bombed when that inevitably falls through and he's suddenly lonely again
Cut contact, he’s keeping you as his backup. Even if he did someday leave his partner and offer you everything he’d just find another backup to have behind your back. He’s just one of those selfish, manipulative, lying people.
Well that's my point - they'll be off again eventually. And he'll come back to you when that happens if you let him
I wouldn't though as clearly he's not worth your time
He's a narcissist...when his girlfriend is not around he reaches out to you. He needs constant attention. Block him. Cut contact with him. Be happy that you are not the girlfriend and he's talking to a side piece.
Of course! Don't fall into the sunk cost mindset- you've already found more energy won't fix it. I'd just cut your losses and find someone actually worthy of your time and attention
It's not that she has something you don't. This is on him and his shitty behavior. He likely does the same BS to her and she just tolerates it.
Extricate yourself from the situation
I mean at some point you have to get some self esteem here. You’re keeping contact with a guy that picks you up and discards you at will. You need to remind yourself that this guy is not interested. You feed his ego until he finds someone he actually wants

Just don't get down on yourself is all I'm saying. You deserve alot more. You deserve someone that is sure about you. That knows what they want. To love you the way you love them.
Just remind yourself it’s not real. Or it’s real for that moment and then those moments pass. He’s interested while in between others. That’s not long term.
I wouldn’t try to understand it. Just try to understand how it makes you feel
Here’s the major red flag 🚩 He said he wished it didn’t have to be this way? IT DOESNT! It is this way because he DOES want it to be this way! It is his choice for it to be this way. Just hope you are clear about that.
He had already picked her. He was seeing you a few times a month and her much more.

If he was interested he would not have pushed you away. You have to look at his actions and not his words
Exactly he does want it to be this way that’s why he chose to do it, keep telling yourself that until you believe it

Not really. It’s deceptive
She isn’t the problem he is. If she didn’t exist he’d find another way to hurt you.
