The anticipation of being dumped

Right now I haven't heard from my soon-to-be ex boyfriend. It's been two weeks since we last spoke or contacted each other. The last I heard from him he was all "I love yous". He's going through some personal issues right now. But I ain't holding my breath.

I talked to my sister about this and she said the same thing happened to her. The guy ignored her for over a month on the pretense that he had to focus on studying for this major exam. When he finally DID contact her it was to dump her. It turned out he was seeing someone else. He was all sweet to her before disappearing as well.

Same thing happened to my friend. He didn't call her for two weeks and when he did, it was to dump her.

Have any of you ladies experienced this, as well? Is this a man's way of trying to make it easier for us?? Do they think it's gonna hurt less because they gave us "space" for a long time??

That's how my ex did it. He didn't call, didn't return messages, etc. for about two weeks. When he finally did take my call, he gave me the "I don't think we should be together anymore" speech.
