I have a quick question:
I was going out with a guy for 2 years. He broke up with me last August-almost 2 years to the day that we started going out. He said his feelings changed and he wasn’t sure about us anymore. However a month or so previous to this he had spoken about moving in together. We hadn’t been fighting and as far as i thought everything was going great.
My question is why do men give mixed signals? When he says he isn’t sure or 100% about us anymore is that code for he just fell outta love with me and i can expect that it’s over for good?
I know most of the time men are pretty black and white about things so any advice would be appreciated!

The answer is simpler than you might think. When men give mixed signals, it’s usually because they have conflicting feelings.

In your case, it’s a possibility that he simply fell out of love. While painful, it happens in many relationships, and it’s probably better to find out now, instead of after a few years of living together. However, what I think is far more likely is that what really changed were his thoughts about the future, rather than his feelings about you.

You mentioned that he brought up the subject of moving in together just a month before breaking up with you. To me, that strongly suggests his reason for breaking up was a sudden fear of commitment, rather than a change in his feelings about you. By considering moving in together, he forced himself to take a look at the relationship, and question whether you’re the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Chances are that he didn’t exactly fall out of love with you. Instead, he decided that he wasn’t ready for serious commitment yet, and even though he enjoyed being with you, he wanted to know what else was out there. It’s not unlikely that he’s already regretting his decision or will regret it in the future.

Still, don’t wait for him to come back. Putting your life on hold for him does not make it any more likely that you’ll get back together, and will definitely make this an even harder time for you than it already is.

First, though, a small note for our anonymous reader: don’t snoop through your husband’s computer. If you want to know something, ask him. Don’t spy on him. You’re in a marriage, not the cold war. If the two appear startlingly similar, it’s probably a good idea to take a long look at the state of your marriage.

But that aside, there are two main reasons why he could be looking at porn featuring unattractive women. Both are probably true to some extent, in this particular case.

The first reason is simple and obvious: He might not consider them to be unattractive. While he shares your bed, he might not share your taste in women. Even if these women are entirely unlike the type of women you thought he liked, it’s important to keep in mind that men like variety – especially when it comes to fantasies.

The second reason is almost as simple, but perhaps not quite as obvious. It’s that he looks at these women for quick sexual gratification, and not for long-term relationships. So they don’t have to be perfect, they just have to be adequate. If they have specific body features he fantasizes about, or do particular things that you won’t do, that’s probably enough for a quick wank. He wouldn’t go out with them, but for some private pleasure, they’ll do.

So to summarize, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Your husband is perfectly normal.
