What does this Leo Man mean?

Been seeing each other for about 7 months. Had a great 4-5 days together, ex girl shows up at his house on Saturday and a couple days later I get this.

"I've never felt so out of control in all my life. You are incredible and you certainly deserve more than what I'm giving. I need to get myself together and don't expect you to wait around for me. I think I only need to focus on God and my kids for now. Damn you are awesome! Oh well. It would never work with me being in the state of mind that I'm in. I'd rather get me together and hopefully try again than to lose you due to my mess. Soooooo confused but will soon end (positive reinforcement)."

What? Does that mean he is done? Is he picking her? what?

Help!

He's confused and wants to break it off. But, he wants to be able to keep the option open for the future. Leos, being the lions they are, like to keep women in their pride. They will very seldom completely burn the bridge. Let him go and move on!!!!

Oh, by the way, my Leo male friend explained that to me about how they operate.

He wants out. He did exactly what I would do and I do mean exactly. I was reading that like did dude steal my "book of secrets".

This is what he did...pay close attention here. He made it all about him. "It's not you it's me." Read it again. This is the method used when dealng with a hostile. I am serious. You let them down this way. You can not be angry with someone who is saying ..."hey, I need time to get myself together so I can be better for you".

He is done, at least for now but we do not like for people to hate us or even dislike us. I am friends with everyone of my exes. He wants you to still think and speak highly of him to anyone that the both of you know. He would "die" if he heard that you said he was a jerk or something along those lines to someone he knows.

Now you know and knowing is half the battle. It may or may not be about the ex. It probably is to tell you truth but hey he could have strung you along. He didn't. I personally think he showed some maturity here.

I got it! But seemed to have came out of no-where. Kind of took me for a loop. I did not reply I didn't feel the point at the time. As crazy as it sounds, He called me at work this morning just about 30 mins ago. Saying you never replied, I said I know, I wasn't sure that I should have replied. He tried to explain where he was at I just let him speak, but really, whats the point? if you done, your done. Let it be. The reason I was taken back was because nothing happened between him and I. No fights no issues, hince the reason I do feel it had something to do with the ex. I agree that he did best by not string this along to become something ugly. Thanks for all your inputs. He is done, now, its time for me to be also! Thanks!

That ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is the reason he decided not to be with you.

Because you've been with him for 7 months .. and you never noticed his life being in turmoil. He has described his state of emotional being as being out of control.

A person doesn't just wake up one day and thier entire life is a disaster ... life dominoes to create out of control. He talks about his troubles with his children, with god, with his head not being right .... and you never noticed this.


His problems he talks about take you for surprise .... and it's because of your ignorance to his needs that he sends you packing.


A partner is suppose to be so aware of the other person needs, that the words don't have to be spoken .... you don't appear to be aware of anything except you.
