Does it get easier?

Long story short... I recently seperated from my husband. Started chatting with the guy with a fwb understanding, as he told me he had recently seperated from his wife too. We started talking just after Valentine's day, and it was so easy and natural to talk with him. As time passed we did meet up. Things were sexual, and i was under the impression everything was going well.

We talked every single day, and he honestly made all the shit i was going through better. I was smiling again, and actually looking forward to the day. I had made a friend... Before a sexual partner... Or so i thought.

On wednesday, i gave him my address and he came to my home and we were intimate again... And again... I thought everything was good. We cuddled briefly, he called me a beautiful girl, and told me when he got home safe. Then the next day he became distant saying he needed a day as he had a bad appointment and wasn't in the right head space...

I gave him space. I messaged him maybe once a day to see if he was okay. I'm worried... and i missed him. His friendship. This morning i woke up to discover he had ghosted me, removed me and blocked me on social media. No explanation, nothing.

I tried to reach out. Nothing. So i said my goodbye in a final text message...

Does it get easier? I was with my ex for 13 years, and I'm rusty at this opening up to people thing, and stupid me knew this was a FWB situation, but i did care about him... A lot. I feel just foolish and stupid... I'm used to people walking in and out of my life, but this one seems to sting just a little more than normal.
