Boyfriend with custody of two girls broke of relationship of two years. we got along great, he said

he was unbalanced and cirucmstance permit him from giving me what I deserve more timem and it hurts him to hurt me even though I understanding. It happ two months ago, we have beeen out twice text seen his daughters, he says it has nothing to do with other women and dating is the last thing from his mind. he said lately the only time he really had he spent both with me as friends. I feel hurt, and he is really an honest guy and never has time for himself and does have a crazy schedule, I asked him if this means I can date, and he repied I cant tell you not to. He also said I haveno idea how hurt he is he keeps his emotions inside and I put mine outside. I know he really cares he texts,i am focusing on myself and goals what does all this mean. he is not saying for me to meet someone, and is very happy I am not procrasting and achieving new goals etc.

If he is a single parent with two children and wants to do a good job as a parent he surely doesn't have much time for a social life.

There's a lot more to a long term relationship than just dating. Two people who are bonded to a common goal can spend time together doing all kinds of things that make life easier for each of them. Things like shopping together, fixing your car, preparing meals and taking the kids places. If, after two years, this hasn't happened, it sounds like the two of you have different views of what the future holds for your relationship. Whether you become closer or drift apart depends on an outlook that includes both of your futures as one unit. Each of you focusing on yourselves and your own goals just doesn't make a lasting relationship and he may realize that.
