Disappointed

Hello, just looking to vent and any advice is appreciated. So I got broken up with on our 3 month anniversary. Feb. 7th (I know that’s not a long time). We used the L word because we both truly felt that way. He said that he is under a lot of emotional stress. Because of work and kids. He is in charge of this HUGE project at his job that is chaotic and going down hill. He was put in to help save the project but it’s not going good so far. He is a single dad. His 14 year old daughter has an ED, and is underweight. She was in the hospital last month because her weight is so low for her age. He has to basically make her eat in the evening when he gets off work. He also has to deal with his 17 year old angry son. The other day he said his son broke down crying wanting to hurt himself, then 15 minutes later he was fine. So I understand why he is stressed out. He said when he is under emotional stress he uses deep fatigue as a coping mechanism. Has anyone had deep fatigue before? Just curious how does that feel. Would like to know what he is feeling. I completely understand why he can’t be with anyone right now. It just hurts because we had a great natural connection. One that I don’t come across very often. I’m an introvert and I don’t click with just anyone. But with him it was so natural 😞
