The news he was breaking up with you was heartbreaking.

After originally meeting him on a dating app, your life was akin to a script out of a romance movie.

The conversations with him were phenomenal.

He knew what you were thinking before you said it.

There was no limit to what you shared about each other.

To top it off, he talked about how happy he was to have found you.

He seemed so into you and you were euphoric that you had finally matched with a guy you were compatible with on a dating app.

The months you dated each other as exclusive partners were bliss.

You never fought with each other.

The communication continued to be that much better than it had been on a dating app.

He planned out wonderful dates that left you reeling, wanting more, hoping that the date would never end.

As aforesaid, your life with him for the few months you exclusively dated was akin to a script out of a romance movie.

That’s when the bombshell happened.

He told you that he was thinking about moving away to find better job opportunities somewhere else.

You cried, pleaded, desperately attempted to convince him otherwise.

It was to no available.

You finally suggested a long distance relationship and he rebutted it, stating that he didn’t want to go through the emotional toll of having a long distance partner.

It was heartbreaking but there was nothing you could do.

When you saw that he was still active on the dating app you met him on, you were furious.

After breaking your heart in telling you that he was thinking about moving away and consequently breaking up with you, seeing that he had updated his dating profile with brand new pictures and a brand new bio left you feeling as though you had been had.

Did he lie to you about moving away to get rid of you and find someone better?

Here is the uncomfortable truth.

Yes.

This whole concept of moving away came out of nowhere.

He had never indicated this desire in previous conversations with you.

That is the clue.

A guy who is genuinely considering moving away would have been planting the seeds about his intention for a while.

Bringing it up out of nowhere and breaking up with you afterward is filled with red flags.

Moving away is a colossal decision.

It takes a person away from family, friends, etc.

Such a decision isn’t made on a whim.

A guy that is legitimately considering moving away mentions it to you in some capacity over a sustained period of time.

Additionally, he takes action to this end.

He is researching the location he is looking to move to, taking account of the jobs available, demographics, and the safest and most affordable neighborhoods.

He is calling property management companies in the area and sending out his resumes to compatible places for work.

As far as you know, he didn’t do any of this.

He never showed any sustained effort through his words and deeds that he was strongly considering moving away.

In dropping this news on you out of the blue, he was demonstrating that he wasn’t serious about moving away.

That’s why you have now seen his updated dating profile.

He didn’t know how else to tell you that he wanted to end his relationship with you.

In choosing to tell you that he is moving away, it makes it seem like he is moving for justifiable reasons, and this keeps him from looking like a jerk.
