    Hi just typing this in shock was seeing a man who for 5 weeks adored me constantly texting and telling me how much he wanted me etc we speak for hours nightly I really thought at last I've found a connection he grew to be a friend and partner so I thought......a week ago my mum passed away I've been obviously lost in grief so might have not seen the signs but 3 days after I buried my mam he dumped me so out of the blue saying he wasn't feeling it anymore yet was telling me 48 hours previously I was his girlfriend n he was proud to be mine.....I asked him to be my boyfriend a few days ago he said he would love to be and never showed any hint of not wanting me I'm now left in shock is what he did normal behaviour 💔

    Look up the term "love bombing"

    It's a bullet dodged believe me. Take your time to heal but you'll realise he's a bit of an ape.

    So sorry about your mother 😔

    Sorry for your loss.

    Mark this one down to experience and don't try and make sense of it.

    So sorry about your mother.

    5 weeks is nothing and it sounds like it was far too intense and over-the-top to be healthy. His behaviour in itself, with constant texting etc, should gave been a warning sign. Take time for yourself and next time take it slowly.

    Textbook love-bombing, as others have said. It might be helpful to do some reading up on it when you feel ready.

    Very sorry for your loss.

    Sorry to hear about your loss, focus on processing that and the the grief and surround yourself with friends/family if you have them.

    As others have said this ‘relationship’ was red flag city. Somebody can’t suddenly be your ‘partner’ after only 5 weeks. It’s too much and not healthy for either party. You can’t jump right into the middle of a solid relationship at the shake of a lambs tail. Next time, take things slowly and realise this was the loss of what you wanted, not what you actually had.

    To thine own self be true
