They say men always come back, is it true?

I was hooking up with this guy for three months, then dipped out of the city for winter break. He’s Jewish and he straight up said he can only do serious relationships with Jewish girls so we were just a situationship. I even told him I loved him, which makes this whole mess worse.

When I left, I told him we needed to cut contact so I could move on. I couldn’t bring myself to block him. Now, just a week later, he texted me out of the blue. It’s so bizarre. Everyone says guys always circle back and I guess that old saying actually holds weight?

I’m stuck. So do I reply or ghost him like I planned? He made it clear we could never be more, so why’s he reaching out now? Who’s been in this confusing spot and can give me some real talk?

... Read moreMany people have experienced that confusing moment when someone they thought was finished with suddenly reaches out again. It’s especially common in 'situationships,' where the relationship boundaries are unclear or undefined, much like the story here where one person was upfront about limitations yet communication resumed unexpectedly. When a situationship texted you after a week of no contact, it can be baffling. Often, these messages aren’t about rekindling romance but could be about seeking closure, reassurance, or just testing the waters. Given the context — he said he can only do serious relationships with Jewish girls — it might be his way of maintaining a connection without commitment. Many advise considering your emotional readiness before responding. If you’re trying to move on or feel hurt, it’s perfectly valid to ghost or set clear boundaries. However, replying thoughtfully to clarify intentions might also help bring closure or understanding. The phrase "men always come back" reflects a common dating experience, but it’s not a guarantee nor a healthy expectation. Each situation is unique, influenced by individual feelings, cultural background, and communication patterns. In situations like this, some real talk from those who’ve been through it suggests focusing on your own well-being first. Ask yourself: Is this message serving your healing or causing confusion? Setting boundaries can empower you to move forward. Remember, no one is obligated to respond, and often silence sends a strong message about self-respect. If you decide to engage, be clear about your feelings and what you want from the exchange. This honest approach helps avoid further ambiguity in situationships where clarity is desperately needed.

he told you straight up he didnt want a serious relationship with you, believe him. ignoring him will be hard but itll just be harder to move on if you keep contact with him!🫶

Ghost 👻 him girl he’ll never give you the love you want or deserve…he already told you that! Set your boundaries high & your standards even higher! You’re worth more than just being his booty call
