Woman says her boyfriend of two years blindsided her with a breakup, days after discussing marriage and kids. She is looking for answers

A Reddit user is currently navigating the aftermath of a sudden and confusing breakup that occurred just days after her boyfriend brought up plans for marriage and children, Daily Dot reports. The 27-year-old woman shared her experience on the r/TwoXChromosomes subreddit 12 hours ago, and the post has already gained significant traction with nearly 3,800 upvotes and over 700 comments.

The user, identified as PsycholoicalShe, explained that she and her 30-year-old boyfriend had been in a relationship for almost two years. She detailed how the situation felt like a complete reversal of their recent conversations. According to her post, the couple had been discussing skipping a formal engagement to elope within the next year. Even more confusing, he was talking about her “future pregnancy” only 48 hours before he decided to end things.

When he initiated the breakup, he told her he needed to “focus on himself and god.” The situation grew even more uncomfortable during their final conversation. She described the moment she dropped him off, noting that he kept rubbing her arm while trying to gauge her reaction. He repeatedly told her “it’s okay to be friends” while she sat there with tears streaming down her face. As he left, he even reopened the car door to tell her “you can still call and text me.”

This kind of behavior is jarring, and it is easy to see why she is so shaken by the experience

Many users on the platform were quick to point out that this pattern sounds like “future faking,” where one person creates a false sense of a long-term future to maintain a connection before abruptly walking away. One of the top comments on the thread was particularly blunt, stating, “Bet money he is shooting his shot with someone. Also very high chance he will be begging for a second chance in 90 days or less. Don’t give him one more second of your time.”

Other commenters offered their own theories regarding his sudden change of heart. People speculated about everything from potential infidelity to underlying mental health struggles, though everyone acknowledged these were just guesses. One user warned her, “It’s very likely the man has serious issues that you avoided… Do not give him another chance!”

The situation continued to evolve after the initial post went live. The original poster provided an update explaining that her ex-boyfriend reached out to her again with a message saying, “Church tomorrow. Take it or leave it.” She has clearly had enough, as she stated that she plans to leave him on read. She has been active in the comment section as well, thanking the community for their support and confirming that she has no intention of reconciling with him.

While these events remain unverified and exist only as a shared account on Reddit, the massive response shows just how much this kind of behavior resonates with people. For now, the user seems committed to moving forward and ignoring further attempts at communication from her ex.
