Recently ended long term relationship with a libra
Hello
Recently broke up with my ltr with a libra male and wanted insight and hoping I’m not being harsh or unreasonable? We’ve been together for 2 years. Met 4 months after my previous relationship. I thought it was going to be short term due to our ages but we clicked. We kept hanging out and things were good. He had to move to another province due to helping his aunt so was long distance. Things are still going good and I felt bad for his situation as he wasn’t close with his family except said aunt, so I decided to help him out financially for a year. Turns out the aunt deceived him and he was struggling. Me being nurturing and compassionate helped him a bit longer till I couldn’t anymore. He was supposed to move back but hasn’t or it’s been complicated. When I went to visit him a week, I only saw him twice and the second time he admitted he almost couldn’t make it due to work pressures. Tbh I was kinda disappointed as I was hoping to see him more than that then I let it go. Months later I noticed our convos have been him with work stressed etc and money requests and sometimes replying a day late or always busy.
Last year he forgot my birthday and I was pretty disappointed and he apologized so I gave him a chance. Early this month I hinted it was coming up and he said he wished he can celebrate it. I didn’t tell him the date cause I was seeing if he would remember. Things are kinda strained as couple weeks he mentioned how we don’t talk as before and thought our relationship meant more and I said I’ll make the effort to be more present, then after asked for money. My birthday was 6 days ago and I was hoping he would remember and he didn’t, which I was hurt and disappointed again. Then he had the nerve to ask for money the next day after my late moms anniversary and I’m dealing with an insurance claim and others stresses and felt like that was the last straw that broke the camels back. I confronted him and he said he’s sorry and forgot he was supposed to remember something and it hurts when that happens. I didn’t really say much and was typing then he called and apologized and hope it was good and I said yea (was tired and still unhappy) and said let’s continue the conversation the next day. We talked on the phone and pretty much told him it seems he doesn’t have time to be in a relationship etc and where is he at/feeling. He didn’t fight - said to do what’s best for me, and he wants me to be happy and acknowledged the distance was a factor. Also said it was okay if that’s the case and was hurt by that and I’m not getting younger. I can tell he was hurt as he took a few secs before responding. Then we both wished each other well and haven’t heard from him since. Are Libras forgetful at bdays? He said he loves me but didn’t fight for the relationship but I felt like forgetting my bday the second time was a big factor and my exes even the bad ones never forgot. Am I being petty for this? What do other cancer suns feel about this? I have a Leo stellium and Scorpio moon if that makes a difference.
