I hope not….
He just said he wants to be friends… also some people go their whole lives without their feelings being that intense for someone. While he’s not IN love with her, he still does love her and probably believed it was good enough. To date. Like a natural next step to their relationship.
But it’s still not right to mislead someone like that. They were literally dating for years and he said he loved her, why would she assume he meant platonic love lol? He was gonna let her live her whole life never truly knowing how he felt.
Well, who says it was fully platonic? He liked her enough to kiss her and maybe even sleep with her. He might have felt that was enough to build a life with her. You don’t ask people if they can measure the love they have for you. They just love you for r they don’t. For him, that love was enough to tie himself to her for the rest of their lives.
He really let himself be in a relationship for SIX years with someone he doesn’t love because he felt “obligated” wasting both of their time when she could’ve found someone who actually wants to be with her!!
Watch he’s gonna suddenly want to be with her or whatever.
