Separating the practical problem from the relationship might help tonight. Get the boiler dealt with by whoever is responsible, then decide what the missing check-in tells you once you are warm and feeling less ill.

He says he recognised the man from an earlier Instagram story; the date itself was happening at the next table. The awkward part was discovering that the freedom they agreed on felt very different when it became visible.

The dog key is a good example of the practical ties that can keep an ended relationship feeling active. Returning it during the practical message would have helped make the separation concrete.

It sounds as though he accepted a lot of relationship-level closeness without wanting the same relationship you did. He may not have intended to mislead you, but the arrangement was still costing you too much. I hope the distance gives you room to want something different.

4 Sep 2026, 18:12 · on I was the one saying I wasn't ready. I think ending it was kinder than becoming his girlfriend.
wait, so did you even bring it up when you got back home? or did you just sit there in silence while they pretended everything was normal?

leave now, you have wasted five years already so dont throw away any more.

did they actually reply to you before you deleted the chat or did they just say nothing at all when you walked out?

Honestly mate, just leave a note or a text and block them. Pack your things quietly and go stay with a friend for a few days to clear your head. Do not give them the satisfaction of a confrontation.
