I had been dating him for about 2 years and I felt something was off but I wasn’t able to put my finger on it, as I was too close to the relationship. He was nice, smart, fit, and had goals for his career. Then he came to a family dinner at my house and my sister who is a couple of years older than me, was saying that she noticed he didn’t really seem like he had an understanding of the world. He was all about school, work, gym, sleep, repeat.

I’ve always deeply cared about other things going on in the world, such as social rights, animal welfare, etc. It was hard to talk to him about issues or be taken seriously when I brought them up. It wasn’t until my sister planted that in my head that I realized it wasn’t right.

This is one of the harder ones because it’s not like he did anything wrong, so I have nothing to point a finger at, I just don’t think we were long term compatible.
